After being a homeless kitty during at least part of last winter’s cold, and then a shelter kitty, Jazz has a new home. Jazz is a black lady cat, age unknown, who was found in rural Dane County this spring and brought to the Dane County Humane Society. She had been on her own for quite awhile, but came through the experience with only a frostbitten ear from last winter’s exposure. Pretty amazing for a cat who has been de-clawed – pretty lucky, too.
Though she’s a beautiful, sleek cat, she’s a bit shy yet, and not quite ready to have her puss in a photo; I’ll give her time to adjust before I start in on the photo sittings. So this fun clay kitty from a local garden center is posing in her place.
The Humane Society has lots of kittens and adult cats up for adoption. We brought Jazz home from the satellite unit in Mounds Pet Food Warehouse on University Avenue in Middleton. She was in the company of 9 other cats, all who are looking for a good home and a special person to love. If you are 18 or older and have a home or apartment that allows pets, maybe you are one of those special people. The cost of adopting a cat is now $40.00 (or a kitten is $125.00) and you have 30 days to “bond” with your new pet. If it doesn’t work out, you can get a full credit to use for the adoption of another animal within the next year.
For further information, check out the Dane County Humane Society. They’d love to hear from you.
