• KCAC’s Adorable, Adoptable Pet of the Week is written by Tecla Metzel of Kane County Animal Control.

She’s got the sweetest face imaginable with a personality to match. Her name is Agnes and she was surrendered to KCAC by her owners after they could no longer take care of her.

Although a little on the plump side, this 6-year-old domestic shorthair is a master at getting all the love and attention she can handle. It’s almost as though she read the feline version of “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

Cuddling with a capital C is high on her alphabet list of what she would want in a new family, but in typical cat fashion, only if she initiates it first. Throw in a plenty of loving with a little of bit of playing and you’ve got a very satisfied feline.

If you’re looking for a very sweet, loving cat to spend your days with, then Agnes is the perfect choice.
