Furry Friends Friday featuring Opal from Cass County Animal Control – September 17

Meet Opal!  She is a stunning young black and white kitten with an absolutely beautiful face. She is only three or four months old.  When Opal was brought to our shelter, she had a badly injured and infected tail.  With a lot of love and veterinary care, Opal is hopeful for a better future with her shortened tail!  Once she is comfortable she will flop over for belly rubs and purr until her heart is content.  Opal has really come out of her shell since her tail repair surgery.  Now, she loves to play and is becoming very curious!  Opal’s adoption fee is only $55 for a Cass County resident or $60 for an out of county resident.  Please contact Cass County Animal Control at 269-445-3701 to learn more about our beautiful little gem, Opal....
