Patch Pet of the Week

Elderberry is a gorgeous cat: Just look at those striking markings.

Not only does she have good looks, she also has a sweet personality. Once you spend time with her, you will see this shy kitty is good-natured and a joy to be around

Elderberry is a 4-year-old short-haired Tortie. Given her fondness for peace and quiet, she is best suited for a quiet home with no children. In her former home, Elderberry lived with a dog and got along very well with him.

June is national Adopt-a-Cat Month and Animal Friends wants to see no more catless homes! 

From June 1 to 30, Animal Friends is waiving its requested adoption donation for all cats ages 2 and up.

Every cat at Animal Friends has been thoroughly examined by the medical staff, is current on vaccinations, has been FIV and FeLeuk tested, and has been spayed or neutered.

Each cat is also "microchipped" -- implanted with a small identification chip that can help identify a lost cat so it can be returned to its home. 

Wouldn’t you like to meet Elderberry? She is waiting for you to visit her and all the other adoptable cats, dogs and rabbits at Animal Friends at 562 Camp Horne Road, Ohio Township, 412-847-7000. The facility is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
