Here are two furry critters from Cobb County Animal Control who need a home and long for your affection.

If you wish to adopt either of these lovable pets, call 770-499-4136 or visit the shelter at 1060 Al Bishop Dr. in Marietta. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, it is open from 2 to 5 p.m.

The $110 adoption fee includes:

  • Spaying/neutering.
  • All vaccinations, including rabies.
  • Deworming.
  • Heartworm testing.
  • Feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus testing for cats.
  • A microchip.

Through October, the shelter and 49 others are competing for grant money from a pool of $300,000 provided by American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Grant winners are based on adoption rates.
