Carmel Needs A Home

This week's adoptable pet is Carmel, and brown and white tabby cat.

Carmel is a 4-year-old domestic medium hair cat. Her owner turned her into Manatee County Animal Services on Sept. 8, 2010. She is naturally friendly and gets along well with other cats.

Carmel is just one of the dogs and cats available at the county's new , 1002 B Manatee Ave. W., just east of the Manatee County Administrative Center. They're open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
