Libby has been around the block, more than once. Nine lives? Well, yeah, and maybe a few more. This 4-year-old white and gray tabby is a talker, and will always let you know where she stands on the important issues of the day: food, water, best window seat … you get the idea. Anybody seen that stray ball of yarn?

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the city’s Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 235-3141.
