(607NewsNow) — Our pets of the week start with Bianca (Top L) and Elvis Purrsley (Top R) from CNY Snap.

Bianca was only 2 months old when she came to the shelter in October 2024 with her mom as a stray. She’s only known life on the streets and in a very busy shelter and can still be easily frightened. A patient and understanding home ready to give her some love would be ideal for her to let her guard down. She has been spayed, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and is microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Elvis Purrsley is a quiet and calm boy who came to the shelter in May 2025 after being found as a stray on a busy road in Jamesville. He loves to perch on the printer to hangout and observe what’s going on in the shelter. He has been neutered, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, and is microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Next, we have Cici (Bottom L) and Luis (Bottom R) from the Cortland County SPCA. Cici is 2 years old and is a small cat, weighing only about 5 pounds. She is a bit shy when it comes to affection, but loves to window-watch and explore. She can get intimidated by other cats, but seems to become comfortable once she knows she can trust someone.

Luis is 4 years old and friendly, playful, and loves to spend time with his favorite people. He is a smart dog and likes to play games that involve finding his favorite treats or toys. As much as he loves people, he is not fond of other dogs, so a home where he can be the star of the show would be a good fit for him.
