Curie has come quite a long way from the behaviors we saw when we received her. She was a stray in an abandoned house and was very scared when she came to our care. She has since become more loving and absolutely loves treats. She does still have a bit of “cattitude,” but she is getting better about it. We make it easy for you to do the right thing! All animals adopted from our shelter are already spayed or neutered, which the law requires you to have done upon adoption. Visit Curie at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
