PETS FUR ADOPTION – Looking for a shy and snuggly cat or a ball-of-energy dog? Meet some of the Capital Region’s most precious pets looking for their fur-ever homes!
Each week, Pets Fur Adoption will feature several cats, dogs and other animals available for adoption or foster at local shelters and rescues.
Take a look at this week’s bunch below.
—
Name: Eva Marie
Gender & Breed: Female Domestic Medium Hair
Age: 1.5 years old
Organization: Whiskers Animal Benevolent League, Albany
About: Eva Marie is a very sweet, playful, special little girl who is ready to thrive in her forever home. She has only one eye and limited vision in that eye so she can be easily startled. However, once she is approached slowly and realizes your intentions are good, she will push her little head into your hand for pets — and once you feel how soft her fur is, you won’t want to stop petting her.
Because of her limited vision, Eva Marie would do best in a quiet home with someone with previous cat ownership experience.
Adoption Details: Eva Marie is up for adoption at the Whiskers Animal Benevolent League in Albany. Apply to adopt at ewhiskers.com/apply. Adoption fees, process requirements and other information can also be found on the Whiskers website at ewhiskers.com.
