Indoor cats Midnight and Tabby are the featured pets of the week at Monroe County Animal Shelter.

Midnight and Tabby are brother and sister with long, soft hair. They are both 1 year old, seem to share a bond and would likely be happier if they were adopted together, according to shelter officials.

All animals adopted from the animal shelter are spayed or neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations and are microchipped with registration. Cats are tested for the feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus, and dogs are tested for heart worms.


The Spay Neuter Assistance for Pets program offers free vouchers to qualifying families for a spay or neuter procedure at participating local veterinarians. Those in Loudon County can visit http://www.spaytennessee.org to find other options.

Visit the shelter 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays at 170 Kefauver Lane in Madisonville behind Walmart.

The shelter is closed to the public Sunday and Monday. For more information, call 423-442-1015.
