PET OF THE WEEK
Humane Society of Central Oregon
541-382-3537
GEORGIE is 3-year-old
domestic shorthair cat staying
with us until he fi nds the perfect
family. Georgie has been pretty
timid during his time here, so he
will need a family willing to give
him time to adjust to his new life
and home. He has been sweet
with us, and when he feels safe
and comfortable he doesn’t mind
some petting, too! He will need
a quieter home and someone
who loves him and will help him
become the kitty he was always
meant to be!
