Adopt Me: Gizmo, Hidden Gold

Patch regularly features pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

"I'm a bit scared being at the shelter," Gizmo admits. The silky smooth gray cat with deep green eyes used to have a home of his own. Then financial issues caused Gizmo to be given up to C.A.R.E. to help him find a new home.

"I'm sweet and shy," Gizmo adds. "I love head scratches and respond with slow blinks if you sit and talk sweetly to me. One of my favorite past-times is finding the sunny spots and sunbathing in windows. Do you have a nice window for me to sit in?"
