Precious--Tortie Kitten


Precious needs a forever home--along with several other cats and dogs at the Florence Shelter. Please consider visiting the shelter and making your family complete; it's the only love you can "buy."

We recently heard of a story that happened 30 years ago, but it still bears telling. A young grandmother and her two small grandchildren owned a beautiful color point cat. The cat somehow wandered out an open door and climbed a tree. The children were disconsolate, so the grandmother called the police department.

A Russellville police officer soon arrived and promptly shot the house cat--in front of its owner and her two small charges. We don't know why the woman didn't file a complaint against the officer, but it was a different time, and Russellville has never been known for progressive thought.

The above tale is horrible to think about, but so are the innocent kittens and puppies that are put down for want of a home. Please neuter your pets...and please adopt from local shelters.
