UCW hold Christmas party
Cleo
We need
a home
By Shelley McPhee
Meet, Cleo, Tommy,
Smudge and ; Sandy,
These four healthy,
gentle felines are looking
for homes.
Unfortunately their
owner, Miss Lindsay, is
no longer able to look
after all of her pets and
she is looking for com-
fortable, loving homes for
her beloved cats.
Because of financial
an• p ysic imi a ions,
Miss Lindsay is unable to
provide the necessary
care that both she and her
pets deserve.
Cleo, Tommy, Smudge
and Sandy were all or-
phans when Miss Lindsay
brought them in from the
•cold and nutured them
back to health. Her
constant attention and
care clearly shows in
these pets, shiny coats. of
fur, bright eyes and fat
stomachs.
All four are litter
trained, lap up affection
and would easily adapt to
a new home.
If youwould like to
adopt one of these pets
please contact Mary
Swan at the Becker's, at
482-9661.
