Timberlake is a 14-month-old male caramel, brown and cream Bengal/Abyssinian tabby mix. Duncan is a 7-year-old declawed male, black and white domestic long 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 Jan. 24 to 31.

Animals are evaluated for temperament and health. When ready for adoption, they are neutered, given age-appropriate shots, treated for fleas, wormed, tested for FeLV/FIV and microchipped. Choices may include Himalayan, Siamese, Russian blue, unusual mixes, tabby, tortie, tuxie, solid colored cats and kittens. These and other cats can be seen by appointment or at cat adoption events 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at Citrus Pet Plaza, 7231 W Grover Cleveland Blvd., Homosassa, and Midway Animal Hospital, 1635 S Suncoast Blvd., Homosassa.

There is a set tax deductible donation fee for each pet; call for details. Bring empty print cartridges to donate to Cash for Critters. Sneak a peek at their Web site www.homeat lastpetadoptions.petfinder.com. Call 476-6832 or e-mail halpetadoptions@yahoo.com.
