PET OF THE WEEK — MEET SPRUCE!

A little independence, a little affection, and a whole lot of fluff!

Meet Spruce, a handsome, long-haired gentleman with gorgeous green eyes and a personality all his own!

Spruce is a wonderful cat who appreciates having his own space and enjoys life on his terms. But don't let his independent nature fool you - when he's ready for some love and attention, he'll be sure to let you know!

Spruce's ideal forever home:
A calm, comfortable environment where he can enjoy his personal space.
A home without small children would likely be the best fit.
A family that understands cats have boundaries and appreciates his independent spirit.
Someone willing to give his beautiful, fluffy coat the regular brushing it needs to stay healthy and tangle-free!

Spruce isn't looking for someone to fuss over him every minute of the day. He's looking for someone who will love him just the way he is — independent, handsome, and affectionate when the mood strikes!

💕 Could Spruce be your perfect companion? Come meet him and see if this fluffy fellow steals your heart!

ALL ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

It’s a quiet week at the Pat Wise Animal Shelter - all of our dogs have found homes! But we still have some wonderful cats waiting for their turn.

🐱 Bola — DLH brown tabby adult female
🐱 Boo — DSH adult black female
🐱 Spruce — DLH adult black male
🐱 Willow — DSH Siamese adult female

This week’s photo stars are Bola and Spruce, two beautiful long-haired cats with very different personalities and the same wish - a home to call their own.

Meet Spruce, a handsome, fluffy adult male Domestic Longhair with a personality all his own!

Spruce enjoys attention and affection - but on his terms! He knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to let you know when he’s had enough. Because Spruce prefers to be the center of attention, he would do best in a home without young children or other animals, where he can settle in, relax, and enjoy being the one and only.

If you’re looking for an independent companion with plenty of personality (and one seriously magnificent coat!), Spruce may be your guy. Come meet him and see if he chooses you! 🐾❤️
