Ariel is a sweet 5-year-old gal who loves to snuggle. She gets purring and then she’ll flop over for belly rubs. She does well with kids and dogs and is OK with other cats. She has only lived with cats while here at the shelter, and her very mellow roommates are OK, but we’re not sure how she’d be with energetic cats. Please open your heart and home to this beautiful gal. You’ll thank us later.

The animal shelter is located across from the Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter’s business hours are noon-7 p.m. Tuesday, noon-5 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, and 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Closed Mondays. For more information, call 235-3141.
