Kittens Thistle and Freesia looking for loving homes
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – This week's Pet of the Week features not one—but two adorable kittens from Animal Services. Thistle and Freesia are young, playful, and ready to be adopted into loving, permanent homes.
Both kittens are social, active, and would thrive in any indoor environment where they can receive plenty of attention. While they're not bonded and can be adopted separately, they would also make a great pair for a home looking to adopt two companions.

Adopting either kitten costs $50, which includes spay or neuter surgery, a microchip, and vaccinations. After surgery, pets can go home the very next day.
Animal Services encourages potential adopters to be sure they're ready for the responsibility of pet ownership, as it's a lifelong commitment. Renters are advised to confirm pet policies with their landlords before adopting to avoid potential issues.
Those interested in meeting Thistle and Freesia can stop by the shelter at 1500 Monty Street, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
