Feature creature: Claire

Thu., Jan. 25, 2007

Jennifer Laruecorrespondent The Spokesman-Review

On Jan. 18, Claire was looking for a bite to eat or perhaps a playmate at an area business. She was caught in a trap and brought into SCRAPS. Claire’s not sure why, but she’s maintaining her composure. She is ladylike and grateful for the grub. She has good manners, is inquisitive and quick to warm up to friendly strangers. Claire would be happy with some attention, some freedom to roam and a place to primp.

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 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.
