Pet of the Week: Jersey

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

Jersey is a beautiful long-haired male tuxedo, about two years old.

He loves attention and will even roll over for you to rub his belly.

Jersey can use all the love he can get. He's looking for a permanent home.

This weekend the Lakewood Animal Shelter is completely full.

More on Jersey: His long fur makes him look bigger than he actually is, he's surprisingly light. He's is already neutered, has received an initial vaccination, and has been treated with Advantage, so he's ready to go home with you.

Anyone interested in adopting Jersey is encouraged to contact the  at 216-529-5020 and ask for collar No. 205.

Adoption fees are only $35. That includes deworming medicines, initial vaccination, capstar flea pill (seasonal), a collar with identification tag, a cardboard carrier, and initial veterinarian visit with second vaccination from participating local veterinarian.

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.
