Hyacinth is a 1-year-old female pearl-gray birman mix. Winter is a 2-year-old female black, cream and orange tortie domestic medium hair.

Home at Last Pet Adoptions Inc. is an all-volunteer rescue group dedicated to saving animals, predominantly cats, facing death at local shelters. There were two adoptions from Dec. 27 to Jan. 2.

Animals are evaluated for temperament and health. When ready for adoption, they are neutered and given age-appropriate shots, treated for fleas, wormed, tested for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus and microchipped. Animals are seen by appointment or at occasional special adoption events. There is a set donation fee for each pet. Call 476-6832 or e-mail halpetadoptions@yahoo com for details.
