Adoptable Cat of the Week: Maggie Needs a Home

This week's adoptable pet is Maggie, a Norweigan Forest cat mix.

Maggie is a four month old spayed female and has been with Manatee County Animal Services since June 22, when she was picked up as a stray and then hand-fed by volunteers until she was old enough to be adopted. Maggie is an affectionate kitten.

Visit Maggie at the county's downtown adoption center or at the Palmetto adoption center for Animal Services this week. The downtown center is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Manatee County Animal Services is offering a $40 adoption special on all dogs for "Howl-O-Ween." Cats can be adopted for $60, but look for the senior discounts and 2 for the price of one specials. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.
