A little black kitten and a big white dog are available this time on Pet of the Week.
Mr. Lincoln
Animal ID: A423626
Age: 4 months old
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Lincoln is a sweet and inquisitive little fella. He is in his adorably awkward "tween" stages so he looks very long and lean. Black cats and kittens typically have a harder time getting adopted because people don't find them "unique," but once you spend a moment with little Mr. Lincoln, you'll realize just how special he is.
