Lucy is the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”!

“Lucy is about five months old. She is super sweet and a super cuddly cat. All of her brothers and sisters have been adopted so she is the last remaining in the litter. We want to find her a good home for the holidays. She is an all-around good kitty cat. She has been spayed, micro-chipped and is up to date on everything. Her adoption fee is only $40,” said Shelter Director Emmaly Bennett.
