“This big guy has lots of love to give,” says West Plains Regional Animal Shelter volunteer Trish Hammen of this orange tabby cat. “We named him Rocky because he looks tough but he is a marshmallow. Rocky was found near a car wash here in West Plains.” The cat is estimated to be between 3 and 4 years old, and is neutered and vaccinated. The fee to adopt a cat is $45. Hammen also has updates regarding construction of the new shelter facility on the grounds at 1486 BB Highway: “The new shelter building is coming along and hopefully will be ready in the spring. We are still needing donations to make sure we get everything we need. The price of building materials has doubled from last year. Thank you to all who have already donated.” To learn more about adopting or donating, drop by the shelter between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays or call 417-256-8438.
