GARMIN

AGE: 1 - 2 years DESCRIPTION: DSH - Black LOCATION: PETS Shelter (114 W Main Street) - Panora, IA MY STORY: One bright and early Sunday morning a local resident looked out the door to her deck and found this good looking kid staring right back at her. She thought when she opened the door he would scamper off but instead he just continued to sit and stare at her as if pleading for her help. She quickly put out food and water and he ate and drank and drank and drank, obviously he was very thirsty. Upon arriving at the shelter, he was given the name Garmin and he immediately stepped out of his carrier purring as if this was nothing new for him. Although it took him a minute to settle in, he loved his full bowls of food and water and has become quite the shelter character. He loves attention from the volunteers and his preferred perch at the shelter is right smack dab in the middle of the front counter and desk! We think it's because he likes to watch everything that goes on and to monitor the other kitties. He does well with the other kitties but seems to prefer humans as opposed to kitties as his companions. Garmin does an extremely exaggerated meerkat hop where he rises up on his back legs to get pets. He can get a little overstimulated at times but with the more time and attention he gets the less overstimulated it makes him - the kid just wants some love and attention. Garmin has a shiny jet black coat and clear golden eyes that pair purrfectly with it. MORE DETAILS: Inside-only home and must keep claws. The adoption fee for this kitty is $25. Adopt a pair of kitties for $50. Each cat and kitten has been: altered (spayed/neutered), vaccinated (age-appropriate) - rabies and distemper combo, microchipped, tested for FeLV (negative unless previously noted), and treated for fleas, ear mites, and worms. We ask that interested parties fill out a cat adoption questionnaire only if you are seriously considering adopting this sweet kitty. You can get the application by going to our website at "http://www.panorapets.com/adopt" and clicking on the "Cat Adoption Questionnaire" button at the top of the page. Once you have submitted the questionnaire, an adoption coordinator will contact you usually within 24 hours. Please be patient and thank you for your interest in this kitty. P.E.T.S. supports the "Paws Need Claws" Campaign. Cats are rather attached to their claws; please do not de-claw your cats.
