Shelly Is Clark-Garwood's Pet Of The Week

CLARK-GARWOOD, NJ — Meet Shelly! She has been chosen as Clark-Garwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"My name is Shelly and I am a 15 year old part Persian cat. I may not be as perky as I was in my younger years but I bring so much joy to my family. My master looks forward to me giving him kisses and laying across his chest.

I enjoy meowing along to the violin cat music they play for me daily. Christmas time is my favorite time of year. Oh no you won't catch me climbing the Christmas tree, instead I sprawl out beneath it inhaling the fragrant pine scent.

These are just a few reasons why I should be chosen as pet of the week!"

Then just keep an eye out for a photo of your pet on the Patch!

The photo can be of a present pet, or it can be a baby picture of the adult pet you're so proud of today.
