And the envelope, please. We're having our own A-CAT-EMY awards celebration. Now, through Saturday, March 2 pick a special A-cat-emy awards envelope to reveal your discounted adoption fee on any adult cat from 50 to 100 percent off. And that's not all. The first 20 adopters will get a Sway Bag filled with goodies for your new star. Find your own leading man or leading lady at the humane society. We have a wonderful group of supporting characters waiting in the wings hoping to win...a place in your heart.

Tinsel already has a name worthy of lights. She's a super sweet cat that loves to give and get attention. You'll find Tinsel front and center in the shelter lobby. Greeting visitors with a purr and a rub. Add some sparkle to your life, adopt Tinsel today.
