Pets of the Week: Esme and Clara Bell

Take a look at our adorable pets of the week.

Pasadena Humane Society: Esme

Learn more about Esme, the featured pet of the week from the Pasadena Humane Society:

Esme's favorite things in life are laps, love, and sunny windowsills. It doesn't take much to keep this docile sweetheart happy. She is an independent, investigative girl and is comfortable spending time on her own, but she also loves to be held and to be put on your lap. She is always very friendly and enjoys every bit of attention she receives.

The regular cat adoption fee is $70 which includes spay/neuter surgery, a microchip, the first set of vaccinations, and a free follow-up health check at a participating vet.
