Could You Be Fern's Best Friend?

This domestic, longhaired female is more rewarding than a house plant. And she needs a good home.

Fern is a spayed, six-year-old cat that arrived at the Worcester Animal Rescue League when her owners surrendered her before they moved. She is a domestic longhaired cat with black hair and a white patch on her chest. Fern has been declawed so she must remain indoors.

This sweet lady is shy and timid at first, but once you earn her trust, she is a quite the loveable companion. If you are interested in Fern, please take the first step and drop in to meet her.

While at the shelter, purchase tickets to the Bark at the Park. Hosted in part by the Worcester Animal Rescue League, this event is geared toward animal and baseball lovers alike. On Tuesday, June 28, take the kids and the dogs to a Worcester Tornadoes game as the team takes on the Rockland Boulders.

Played at Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field, the game is scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. and tickets are just $7. Get your tickets at shelter or by calling 508-853-0030. If the event is not sold out, tickets will also be available at the box office on game day.
