George: Sweet, Loving, Beautiful Green Eyes

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 George the cat…

Here is some information on George from the Humane Society of Ocean City:

“Meet George! He is a large, 9yr old, solid gray domestic short haired cat with striking green eyes. George was brought to the shelter with his brother, Pierre. Their owners moved from Florida to Ocean City only to find out upon arrival that they were not allowed to have pets at the residence they rented.

So, after that long drive up the coast, they were dropped off at the shelter. Reeling from confusion of what just happened, George was a bit shy and stand-offish at first. He has since come out of his shell with some extra TLC from our staff and volunteers and has become extremely sweet and affectionate.

George seems as though he would prefer a quiet home. Calm children over 12 would be ok. Younger children may be ok also, visit depending. George is good with other cats and even though he's never lived with dogs, he probably would adjust in time."
