SALT LAKE CITY — Each Wednesday the Best Friends Animal Society comes to KSL-TV's studios to feature a pet that needs a forever home.
George is a 3-year-old buff tabby cat with beautiful golden eyes. He’s a mellow, easy-going sort of fellow, according to Temma Martin from the Best Friends Animal Society. George also loves children and likes other cats.
“I can’t say enough nice things about him,” Martin said. “Orange tabbies and buff tabbies are known for being really mellow and docile and sweet, so that's this guy.”
June is the “Cat Days of Summer” at the Best Friends Animal Society. The organization received almost 550 kittens since March, Martin said. But with so much kitten competition, the adult cats might be left behind, so this month all adult cats can be adopted for only $10 at the adoption center.
If you are interested in a pet featured on Pet of the Week, you can call the Best Friends Animal Society at 801-574-2454. Animals featured on the show remain at the Sugar House pet adoption center, at 2005 S. 1100 East, at least throughout the day they are featured and often beyond. Call ahead before visiting to ensure the animal is still available for adoption.
The Best Friends Animal Society works with 52 shelters around the state to facilitate adoptions. All animals featured or at the adoption center are spayed or neutered, have a microchip and are vaccinated. Adoption fees vary.
