A unique looking Birdie

MOSES LAKE – Birdie, a domestic shorthair-mix kittie would very much like to come spend her life with you and be your favorite tweet of a furry friend. She’s been at Grant County Animal Outreach since early February, and while she likes her caretakers there, she’d dearly love a forever home with lots of snuggling opportunities and maybe a toy or two to play with. Like all of the adoptable pets at GCAO, Birdie has had all of her shots and won’t be adding to the stray pet population by having any kittens. Visit Birdie in person at 6725 Randolph Road NE in Moses Lake or find out more by calling 509-762-9616 or emailing the shelter at [email protected]. If you are unable to adopt, but want to support the shelter, visit grantcountyanimaloutreach.org and click the brown “donate” button in the top-right corner.
