Desperately Seeking Home(s) – Two Adult Cats
Sam is a white cat with black patches - a "cow cat". He is friendly, affectionate and playful, likes lots of attention and is about 6 years old. Frodo is a grey tabby about 4 years old. Unfortunately he has allergies that the current owner has not been able to pinpoint. Frodo has been to the vet multiple times and his food has been changed several times. It is probably a food allergy; he is responding better to the current diet, but is still suffering symptoms. He is also FIV positive. Call Lynn at 274-6434 for info about a forever home. Owner is moving and pets are not allowed at the new place.

Have You Got Your Bag?
Market Block Books is trying to reduce their use of paper/plastic bags in order to be more environmentally friendly. When you make a large purchase,
MBB will ask you if you'd like a free canvas bag. MBB only asks that if you take one, you reuse it (for your Troy Farmers Market purchases, maybe?) or
return it to the store so that they can give it to someone else. If you have canvas bags that you don't use, please consider donating them to MBB so they
can circulate them throughout the community. Thanks for any help! If you have any questions. (Free canvas bags do not include the Book House/Market Block Books
bags that they sell--those are still $14.75, and very stylish!) |
