Feature creature: Squeaks

In a loud, scary shelter, sometimes the sound of dogs barking and kittens meowing can be overwhelming. That might be how Squeaks feels in her cage at SCRAPS, but this lovable cat warms up quickly when taken away from the loud noises.

This white and orange-cream colored cat won’t want to be any place other than near you. She’s very affectionate and burrows down into you with her head. As a bonus, Squeaks doesn’t seem to shed.

Anyone interested in adopting this cat or other animals can visit the SCRAPS shelter at 2521 N. Flora Road, call the shelter at 477-2532 or visit the Web site at www.spokanecounty.org/animal. Cats cost $55.68 to adopt, which includes a license, neutering, vaccinations, a microchip implant and a trip to the veterinarian.
