Every Thursday morning at 7:15am on the Lite Rock Morning Show, the Humane Society of Ocean City brings in the new Lite Rock Pet of the Week.

If you are thinking about adding a pet to your family, please consider adopting from the Humane Society of Ocean City, a no-kill shelter recognized as one of the nation’s top ten animal shelters.

All of the animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped before adoption. All animals also receive an Alumni Card which entitles them to a 10% lifetime discount for veterinary services at the Humane Society of Ocean City clinic.

This week we met “Fuzzy” the cat.

Here’s a little background information on Fuzzy from the Humane Society of Ocean City…

“Fuzzy is a 6 to 8 year-old spayed female black long haired cat. Very Friendly, Came to the shelter when owner passed away. Good with other cats, dogs, Kids.

"Hey there! Looking for a kitty? A real pretty, kitty? Well, I just might be the gal for you! I'm "Fuzzy"! You might say that I was definitely touched with the magic wand of beauty. Don't worry though, I am really quite humble. I have shiny, long, flowing, black fur. I am a tall girl, with a large build. You would not necessarily call me petite.

You know what else on me is big? My heart! Yup, a gorgeous girl like me still manages to be a friendly, loving kitty. I may be shy to folks when we first meet but, once introductions are given I warm up to be a real love! See, I tell you all of this because, my owner recently passed away and now I am looking for a new home. A new forever home, that she would have really been happy about.

My former mommy loved me and my housemates very, very much. So, as to what kind of forever home I would like, it would have to be kind and loving for starts. I am used to being around cats, Gentle and kind people of any age or size would be perfect. So you see that my list of wants is not that long. What do you think? Could you use this pretty kitty to become a part of your family? Stop by soon to see me!"
