Ada County Pet of the Week: Ansel

Ansel, 6, is a spayed female domestic shorthair with very pretty gray and white tiger stripes. She came to the shelter as a stray this fall and is still waiting to find her forever home. She has an independent spirit and is happy to entertain herself. She enjoys keeping watch over her surroundings — she’d love to gaze out of windows in her new home. Ansel needs to be the only cat in her home, but she does enjoy the company of people and is a very sweet, attentive cat. She will happily cuddle and sit on your lap. She’s ready for life outside of the shelter.

You can meet Ansel (#33421362) at the Idaho Humane Society’s PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center, 130 N. Milwaukee St. in Boise. It is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day except Sunday, when it closes at 6 p.m. They will be closed Christmas Day.
