Pet of the Week: #79

Who's black and furry and cute as a button? Why, #79, that's who!

The East Haven Animal Shelter currently is home to a young male kitten that is only about four months old.

The black, domestic short-haired cat has "a good temprament and is very social," according to East Haven Animal Control Officer Kristina Ruszczyk.

"He gets along well with other cats and dogs," Ruszczyk said.

She added that #79 — who has yet to be given an official name — is an active young feline, who enjoys being playful and having fun.

"He'd do well in an active home," Ruszczyk said.

With the little kitten not yet sporting a permanent proper name, Ruszczyk said she would love to hear suggestions from the community on what to call the little ball of feline fun.

"I think that's a great idea," she said.

Also, is still looking for a forever home. Contact the shelter if you think you might be the one.
