Adoptable Cat of the Week: Wizard is All Personality

He's just one of the pets up for adoption at the county's downtown center.

This week's adoptable cat is Wizard, a short-hair tuxedo cat.

Wizard is a two year old neutered male who will greet you when you come home. He has been with Manatee County Animal Services since February 26 when he was picked up in the 3400 block of 14th Street W. You can visit Wizard at the Manatee County Animal Services downtown adoption center this week. The downtown center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

If you adopt Wizard this month his adoption fee is just $10. All kittens are also $10 and the shelter has plenty of kittens this month. Adoptions at Manatee County Animal Services include spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check, microchip and current rabies certificate/tag. This adoption special is another step in the County’s plan to become a no-kill community.
