POW

Mystique, a 1-year-old spayed “tuxedo” domestic shorthair mix, is a sweet, affectionate young cat who still acts quite kittenish. She enjoys affection and leaping and climbing on tall furniture, so she would benefit from having an acceptable high perch or two from which to survey her domain. She will also benefit from multiple play periods each day with toys that you can toss or drag around for her to “kill.” This simulates hunting behavior, and, especially when done prior to mealtime, can help a cat be balanced. Mystique will need her claws trimmed regularly to save your furniture from her antics. Scratching is natural for cats, so keeping their claws short and giving them appropriate places to scratch is helping to fulfill their needs. All canine and feline adoptions from AHS include free extras, but the initial cost of a dog or cat is only part of the money a new owner will need to spend to properly care for a pet during its lifetime. Mystique has been microchipped and dewormed, and is current on her vaccinations except rabies. She will be available at 2 p.m. today at the Atlanta Humane Society Howell Mill Campus, 981 Howell Mill Road N.W. Sealed bids will be accepted starting at 10 a.m. if more than one party is interested. Please note that the highest bidder must meet adoption qualifications.
