Introducing Nala, official spokescat for the Animal Care League’s “One and Only” adoption event:

Hi there. My name is Nala and I was transferred to ACL from another shelter. Basically that means I’ve been around the block, so to speak. How did I survive? As a not-so-common “torbie” — part tabby, part tortoiseshell — I still somehow manage to fit in anywhere. Except, perhaps, with other felines. That gives me the curious distinction of being what people call a “One and Only.”

I can’t explain why, but I don’t do well with other cats. Cats, kittens, male, female, docile, spunky. They’ve tried. I’ve tried. Let’s call the whole thing off, as people say. I’m really good with my canine pals and people. I love people.

Yes, it makes me different. But it also makes me very special and I can say the same is true for the other “One and Only” felines in residence at Animal Care League.

So, the folks at ACL have launched a special promotion for a special group of cats. Through Aug. 31, all “One and Only” felines have an adoption fee of $40, which includes our vaccinations, microchip and S/N surgery. Hope you’ll visit soon.

To adopt a featured pet or to learn more call the Animal Care League at (708) 848-8155, visit the shelter at 1011 Garfield St., Oak Park, or e-mail animalcare@ameritech.net. Available online at www.animalcareleague.org.
