Adoption fees are covered for layabout cat ‘Lars’ in Alexandria

By James Cullum

Nobody is quite sure why, but Lars has lived at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria for a while without being adopted.

The two-year-old male gray and while domestic short-haired cat has been staying with a foster family lately.

“Lars is the perfect Office Administrator for a work-at-home lifestyle,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXNow. “If you’re at your desk, Lars wants to be right by your side…or on your desk…or your keyboard, helping you along every step of the way.”

Lars’ adoption fees have been pre-paid by a generous donor, so if you’d like to learn more about meeting him in his foster home, email [email protected] or call 703-746-4774.
