I'm Burgi -- I Asked Santa for A Family

By the way, I'm just 12 bucks. And I'm 4 years old -- I think.

Burgi, a spayed female kitty, is available for adoption for just $12 at Palo Alto Animal Services as part of its annual "Home for the Holidays" program.    

Burgi is a brown tabby and tortoiseshell Domestic Longhair, estimated to be about four years old and has been at the shelter since Sep 07, 2013.

Palo Alto Animal Services is among six shelters in Santa Clara County that hope to find homes for some 1,300 animals and are offering $12 adoption fees -- down from $90 to $120  -- for any adult cat or dog through Dec. 31. 

The $12 fee covers all benefits such as spay or neuter surgery, microchip implantation and registration, vaccinations, defleaing and deworming and FIV/FeLV testing for cats. 

Palo Alto Animal Services, 3281 E. Bayshore Road, is open for adoptions from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, except for holidays, and closed every other Friday. See its Facebook page here.

Other participating shelters are listed here.
