This week PAWS is featuring a four month old long-haired beauty that will keep you laughing, as he loves to play and have fun. To adopt Sid call PAWS at 354-9894. PAWS pet of the week ���A kitten is the delight of a household. All day long a comedy is played by this incomparable actor������Jules Chapfleury. This week PAWS is featuring a splendid young feline named Sid, who loves to play and seems to positively live for having fun. Besides sporting with bugs, acorns, cat toys and other fascinating found objects, he loves to hide in gift bags. The above quote describes this young kitten intuitively and volunteers find themselves laughing at him as he performs his kitten antics in the office at PAWS. Sid is a long-haired beauty with plush gray and white fur and his tail is short and stocky appearing to have been previously injured which caused its shortened length. Sid is approximately four months old, neutered and ready for a fun-loving family. The photo is a close up so he looks much larger than he is. To adopt Sid call 3549894. winslow christian church Sunday school 9:30; morning worship 10:30; Wednesday, choir practice 6:30.
