 (The Spokesman-Review)

The cat liked to do his own thing. He seemed oblivious to human attention one morning this week in the cat room of the county shelter. Yet at the last moment, as the visitors moved away from his cage, the gray and white cat stuck a paw through the bars, as if to wave.

The gray and white short-haired cat was brought to the Spokane County Regional Animal Care and Protection Services shelter on Monday. Someone found him in Millwood, near Argonne Road and Frederick Avenue. Cats become available for adoption immediately if they don’t have a collar or microchip to identify them. The gray cat had not been neutered or de-clawed. He tolerates being held and does not seem hostile or skittish.

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 site at www.spokanecounty.org/animal. Cats cost $55.67 to adopt, which includes a license, neutering, vaccinations, a microchip implant and a trip to the veterinarian.
