PET OF THE WEEK

Calliope has had all of her children adopted, but she hasn’t been so lucky. The 1-year-old black cat has been at the shelter since June, longer than any other cat. When she arrived, she was very underweight. (The Cleburne Animal Shelter team fattened her up).

Then, the team found out Calliope was pregnant. She had a litter of five kittens. All of them are now adopted, and Calliope would like to be too! Go to the Pet Adoptions web page if you're interested in making Calliope's day.
