CT Humane Society Pet of the Week

CT Humane Society Pet of the Week

Today’s Pet of the Week is going to be Ginger Baker!

  • Ginger is a 2-month-old domestic shorthair mix. 
  • He’s an orange and white tiger, and definitely has some of that spunk one can expect from an orange cat! 
  • Ginger, his mom, and his brother Stevie Windwood came to CHS from a local rescue – Stevie is also available for adoption! 
  • Ginger is a testament to why foster homes are so important for pets! He started off very shy, and after having sleepovers in a couple of different foster homes, he’s completely warmed up to people, and loves getting pats and playing with you. 
  • Westport could use some additional foster families, so if you have the time and space for it, consider signing up now at CThumane.org/Volunteer.
