I once was a mom and, boy, am I glad those 4 kittens flew the coop and aren’t living with me anymore. I mean, I loved them, I really did, but who wants their kids with them after they are ready to go out and explore the world. That’s what they are doing and, darn it, it’s now my turn. I have the looks of an esteemed model, with beautiful green eyes to pair. I need my knight in shining armor or my woman wingman to take on life. I know we’d be a pair, me and you, you and I. You bring the beer/wine and I’ll bring the catnip and we’ll have an intimate convo. Trust me, we can move mountains together. Visit January at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
