Pet of the Week: Humphrey

City's animal shelter has lots of pets — just like Humphrey — seeking a home.

Hooray for Humphrey!

This dashing adult, male tabby is a ton of fun.

At a size XL, Humphrey's heart is as big as his stature. He loves affection and you can hear him purring a mile away. He's been neutered and received initial vaccination.

Adoption hours are from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, and from noon to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

The shelter is located at 1699 Metropark Dr. in Lakewood (in the Metroparks, just beyond the Lakewood Dog Park). Please visit the website or the blog at for more information.

The organization is asking for the public's help. The Lakewood Animal Shelter is at capacity with cats, and that means homes are needed for all of the animals — and fast. This time of year is especially difficult, because influx is high and cages are limited.

Can you — or someone you know — rescue one of these beauties, or perhaps offer up a foster home? You might just find a lifelong friend.
