“I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.” – Joyce Kilmer. I wonder what Mr. Kilmer would’ve said in a poem about cats. I’m Spruce, a 3-year-old solid grey male who was adopted from Paws and Claws as a kitten in August 2019.  I was recently surrendered to a vet clinic in Austin, and they returned me to Paws and Claws. Losing my home and then returning to the shelter has upset me, but I’m okay with being petted if I am approached slowly. I was once Spruce on the loose; I now seek to put down new roots. If your house could use some “Sprucing” up, choose Spruce to be your boy.

Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax
