For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Introducing Alice, a gentle and reserved 6-year-old cat. Alice came to us when her owner could no longer care for her, and she's still getting used to the shelter environment. While she can be shy, we know from her previous owner that she's a true snuggle-bug and endlessly affectionate once you earn her trust. Because she can be shy and nervous in new situations, we'd recommend a calm home with older children who can respect her boundaries. When it comes to other animals, we aren't sure how she feels about dogs or cats, so we'd take any introductions slowly.
If you're willing to open your heart to this timid but sweet girl and give her the love and stability she craves, Alice is sure to reward you with unmatched affection. Meet Alice today and find out if you're the person she's been looking for!
