Adopt a Pet: Jeffrey Needs a New Home

Pets are available for adoption through , an O'Fallon based volunteer group working to save homeless dogs and cats.  All pets are kept in foster homes, where they receive the care they need to help prepare them for a permanent home. 

All Paws is supported solely by private donations and fundraisers. If you're interested in adopting an animal, you can browse their website or attend one of their weekend adoption events at area  stores. Last year they adopted out close to 300 pets. 

This week's featured pet:

All Paws volunteers say Jeffrey was in a loving home for many years, but when his family was hit hard by the economy, they could no longer care for Jeffrey or his sister Claudia.

Volunteers say Jeffrey is a senior cat, but he is a gentle, happy guy who loves to rub and sweet-talk the humans who will give him some time.

He loves being combed and brushed and likes to lounging in the sun. Jeffrey  was turned in with his littermate Claudia. They have lived together all their lives. However, they now can be separated since it is important that they find a new home.

All pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and on a flea/tick preventative.  Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV and dogs are tested for heartworms.
