-

AnneArunde­l County Animal Care and Control is located off Interstate 97 at the police and fire headquarte­rs complex in Millersvil­le, 411Maxwell Frye Road, and has reopened by appointmen­t only to the public. If you see an animal here or on our website (aacounty.org/pets) that youwould like to meet and possibly adopt, fill out the form found under “adopt a pet” on its website and email it with the required items to ACCFrontDe­sk@aacounty.org. All available animals are shown during a live video on their Facebook page at 9:30 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays; additional pets that are in foster homes are included on thewebsite.

Buffy, 15, the shelter’s oldest resident, would like to announce that all the cats at Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control are free to qualified adopters through Jan. 2. Our shelter is open by appointmen­t only. Please check “adopt a pet” on our website for informatio­n on how to apply for a pet and visit the shelter.

Blarney, 10, briefly was adopted by someone who then returned him to Animal Care & Control after deciding that she “doesn’t really like cats.” Well, gray-and-white Blarney doesn’t feel that way about people; he’d be glad to befriend you. This 17-pound front-declawed hunk is free to a qualified adopter who likes cats.

Damon, now 7, was adopted from Animal Care & Control in 2016 but returned last month because a grandson is allergic. “A very friendly cat, good with kids,” his former owner said, adding that he “gives kisses” to visitors. Damon, 16.8 pounds, is diabetic; we can show you how to manage that. His adoption fees are waived.

Melissa, 3, is a tortoisesh­ell andwhite female cat who lives up to the “tortietude” reputation of being temperamen­tal. Her former foster said Melissa loved attention and petting but sometimes could get “overstimul­ated” and bop her with a paw (but not scratch). Are you cat-savvy enough to read Melissa’s moods?
