Weekly feature: Cats need a home

This week’s featured feline: Mouse is an incredible 9-year-old male who loves bird watching from his cage. He is a supersized boy, with so much love to share. He came to the shelter after his parents went into an assisted living and couldn’t take him. He is neutered, UTD on his vaccinations (FVRCP & Rabies) and tested negative to FeLV & FIV. He needs to be indoors only for his safety and no declawing allowed.

SATURDAY ADOPTION EVENT: Every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Constance McCullough House, 84 N.W. 2nd St. in Ontario.
