Almond is a sweet, very shy 12-week-old kitten. This little nut is all alone and needs a home so she can finally feel safe and warm. Fall is the perfect time to bring a new feline friend into your house and heart. There’s nothing like snuggling up with a good book and your new best friend on a crisp, autumn afternoon.

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. to 4 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Closed Mondays. For more information, call 235-3141.
