Burke Animal Services: Athos

Athos: This sweet guy is around 8 months old and neutered. He is a little shy but comes out of his shell quickly and wants to be loved. He does well around other cats but has not been dog-tested. He would love someone patient and kind to give him time to warm up to you. Plus, he is adorable. Come meet him.

Burke Animal Services is at 425 Kirksey Drive, Morganton. The shelter is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The phone number is 828-764-9588.

All cat and kitten adoptions are $20; all dog and puppy adoptions are $40. All adoptions include spay/neuter, a one-year rabies vaccine (if age-appropriate), standard core preventative vaccines (FVRCP), a monthly flea preventative, and dewormer as needed.
