You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but this week's Pet of the Week will show you you can always show an old kitty new love. After her previous owner sadly passed away in January, she's looking for a family with whom to spend her senior years.
Welcome to The Palm Beach Post's Pet of the Week, a series where we feature animals up for adoption in Palm Beach County in hopes of finding them a forever home and bringing a smile to your face.
This week's pet is Asabache (pronounced ah-sah-BAH-cheh). Although it sounds like the Spanish word azabache, meaning “jet,” her name refers to a jet-black stone thought to ward off bad spirits. And despite her recent loss, Asabache is in good spirits and looking for another loving family.
Here's what to know about our pet of the week, including what Animal Care and Control staffers say about Asabache's personality:
Cat for adoption: Asabache
Age: 12 years old
Weight: 11 pounds
Sex: Female, spayed
Animal ID: A2160946
About her: This senior girl was surrendered to Animal Control on Jan. 3 after her owner passed away. Asabache was nervous when she arrived at the shelter, but she is now happily residing in one of the shelter's free-roam rooms where she has been able to relax with other cats. She has gotten along well with other long-term residents.
