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.
