Meet Mardi Gras, a 3-year-old tortie cat. Pregnant and nowhere to go until Save-A-Pet took her in, she was able to raise her family in a foster home.

She can be quite a talker and purrer. She is a rather active and playful cat, and she even did well meeting one of the dogs at Save-A-Pet. All she wants now is to be someone’s baby.

Other cats looking for a home:

• Many kittens, all colors and personalities, are ready to have fun with their new families. Adopt two; the second adoption fee is 50 percent off.

• Frannie is a 2-year-old medium-hair calico that loves to play, with toys or with cats, with the same zest for life.

Due to Save-A-Pet’s major kennel renovation project, their dog adoptions are on hold during construction. The cat room will remain open during this time and cat and kitten adoptions will be business as usual.

Don’t forget to get your tickets to Save-A-Pet’s annual auction dinner. For more information, visit www.saveapetil.org.
