Patsy- 10/20/20

MEET OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK! PATSY!!

Patsy had the purrfect life - a nice woman who loved her dearly and a home where she got all the attention and lots of space to discover new sleeping spots in. Unfortunately her owner passed away and no one in the family was able to care for her after so she was returned back  into their care. Patsy is about 10 years old and is white with tabby spots. She would do best in a home without any other cats or dogs but she is friendly towards all people that she meets especially children. She also enjoys her alone time and is very independent!

Her adoption fee is ONLY $10, this includes her spay, microchip, and various other treatments. Adoption applications are available at the front desk. Applications can also be downloaded from http://www.arlmarshalltown.com

But, just write songs, connect with your fans, get in the studio do whatever you can to keep moving forward and you know adapt to the situation."
