Meet Spitfire, a six-year-old calico. She came to the shelter when she was just a kitten. Being quite wild at the time, whenever someone approached her, she made a noise that sounded like rapid-fire spitting. Hence the name. She is completely tame now and loves people. The name, however, has stuck. If you are interested in adopting this wonderful cat, call (530) 517-1754 to arrange to see her in person. The Town and Country Humane Society shelter is located on Highway 99 between County Roads 21 and 23, south of Orland. It is a nonprofit run by volunteers committed to the idea of making life better for our furry friends. Glenn County Observer photo by Larry Judkins.
