Cassie appears to be a bit put out. But she’s a cat, so that particular look is to be expected. She’s actually a very friendly and loving individual. Cassie came to PAWS a year after her owner passed away. At 12-years-old, this Maine coon/Angora mix was a matted mess. A super-close fur trim was the only answer to her situation, though she managed to keep a lion tail pompom to accent her unique personality. Cassie is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor. They are open by appointment only at this time. Please call 360-533-1141 or visit wwww.pawsgh.org to fill out an adoption application. You can also find them on Facebook and Instagram. Cassie’s adoption fee is $50. Those 55 years of age and older receive a 20% discount on adoption fees. You may get more kitty than you bargained for as, even shaved, Cassie is a big, beautiful girl.
