Ada County Pet of the Week: Stephan the shorthair cat

Stephan, 1 1/2, is a neutered male domestic shorthair cat. He loves to snuggle and be part of your everyday routine. He stayed right by his foster mom’s side when she was home and hung out in a kennel while she was at work. He is litter-box trained. He loves to play with toys and his scratching post. He is scared of dogs. Stephan has an injury on his back, but it is healing well. He has been wearing an Elizabethan collar as he recovers. He might be a little timid when first approached at the shelter, but will warm up with some attention.

Stephan (23442718) can be found in kennel 5 at the Idaho Humane Society, 4775 Dorman St. in Boise. The shelter is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. Through today (Nov. 3), you can adopt any cat over 1-year-old in exchange for a donation amount of your choice.
