Meet Lady the cat
Submitted
Lady is an outgoing, loving adult cat up for adoption with the
Coshocton County Humane Society. She may think she’s a parrot as
she loves to be picked up and sit on your shoulder and will rub all
over you. She’s great with the other cats, and she likes to explore.
She would do well in almost any home. When the vet checked her
out, she was already spayed, and she is up to date on vaccines. Her
adoption fee is $25. For more information call 740-575-5829.
