Female cat, Labrador retriever need forever homes. How to adopt them? | Pets of the Week

Looking to bring a new pet into your home? The Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is highlighting a cat and dog currently available for adoption.

Calliope, calico domestic shorthair cat

Calliope is a spayed female cat who has lived at the PAWS shelter since Feb. 23. She is described by shelter staff as affectionate, friendly and very active. Although Calliope gets along well with other cats, the three-year-old domestic shorthair would do best in a home without young children.
