PHOTOS PROVIDED Moonpie, above, is an 18-week-old black-and-white domestic shorthair female kitten. She is current on her vaccinations, spayed and tested negative for feline leukemia. She is very playful, like most kittens are, and enjoys being held and petted. The current adoption fee for kittens is $50. Lucy, right, is a tri-colored 3-year-old, female beagle mix. She has been spayed, is up to date on vaccines and tested positive for heartworms. Lucy is a laid back kind of girl but will surely let you know if unexpect- ed company arrives. She is very sweet and loves attention. Her adoption fee is $125 with an approved ap- plication.
