Pet of the week Howie is an affectionate feline

Meet one of the newest felines on the PCHS block. This handsome 1-year-old gray and white sweetheart is Howie.

He showed up at a kind home as a feral, but with with much needed vet care, love and attention he has now figured out that inside is where to be!

Want a cat that is always happy to see you? Loves to give LOTS of kisses? Craves being petted? And probably will eventually be a lap cat? ... Howie might be the cat for you.

He can be a bit timid for a few seconds until you touch him and then look out - lovin' comin'.

He's still leaning to be a kitten with toys and is mastering the litter box.

He DOES NOT like dogs, even calm ones and prefers not to be carried around for longer than a minute or two.

If Howie sounds like the cat for you get your application in today!

Please call PCHS at (618) 542-3647 or if you have any specific questions about me, please email the shelter volunteer at pchsinfo@yahoo.com or go to www.perrycountyhumanesocietyil.com to apply.

Please apply only if you live within 100 miles of the shelter.
