Tommy’s worth the trouble

Tommy is a five-month-old black and white rascally male kitten, currently residing at a Caribou Halfway Home Pet Rescue (HHPR) foster home. Volunteers agree that Tommy will require an active family situation with several other pets and children to play with. “Tommy does not understand the word ‘nap,’ only the word ‘play,’” explained HHPR President Norma Milton. “He loves to bounce catnip toys four- to five- feet in the air and catch them— Tommy constantly teases any other playful cats and get very bored when it is naptime. He’s always on the move.” While the young cat is very active, he’s also affectionate, clean, lovable and always happy. Volunteers are very forward that Tommy would not be the right cat for a quiet household and, instead, they are looking for an active home with other pets for the felaine to play with. HHPR volunteers will be holding the drawing for their February Calendar fund-raiser on Saturday, Jan. 28 at Sports Inn starting at 6 p.m. Volunteers will draw 29 names of individuals who’ve entered into the calendar contest; individuals can still purchase calendars from any HHPR board members until Saturday night. Individuals can win multiple times, as drawn tickets are placed back into the basket for another chance at winning. FMI: Norma at 492-1722. HHPR is a 501c3 non-profit, Maine Licensed Cat Rescue and specializes in Feline Rescue and Rehabilitation for Caribou and the surrounding communities.
