Feature creature: Dickens

In two cages set aside in the cat room at SCRAPS, there are six females and one male, all siblings, and all Maine Coon cats. Maine Coons are noted for their intelligence. They’re also very playful and some will even learn to play “catch” with their owners.

These particular Maine Coons have a mane around their necks, as well as big fluffy tails. They are adorable and await visitors and new owners.

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.
