Pet of the Week — Brooke

Brooke, a female tabby is about 9 months old, has been spayed and is up-to-date on her shots.

Brooke went to the Stratford Cat Project along with five other siblings when their owners were moving and could not take them with them, as they had too many cats. The mother has been spayed so she will not have more kittens.

When the owners took the cats to the Stratford Cat Project, they had them in the trunk of their car. It was a scary ride for all of them, according to caretakers.

Brooke has a sweet, gentle personality, gets along well with other cats and loves to get attention.

Information on adopting her is available from the Stratford Cat Project at 203-375-7009.
