PET OF THE WEEK: Meet lap-cat Syke with the huge, green eyes and a soft purr and meow

CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – This week’s Pet of the Week is Skye, a beautiful, gray tabby with the biggest green eyes. She is about two years old, and Moore’s Rescue Ranch pulled her from Animal Control in Sangamon County a few days ago. They went to get kittens and met Skye and couldn’t leave her behind. Chambana Today’s Editor, Elizabeth Hess, was so tempted to bring Skye home – she was the lap cat everyone needs. (Elizabeth made a pact with Duane Shannon of WIXY they wouldn’t adopt any more of the pets that were brought to the studio.)

Enjoy this week’s Pet of the Week video from Facebook, which features Skye’s sweet visit: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14RFoQEWJwx/.

Moore’s Rescue Ranch works tirelessly to find – and adopt out – cats so they know what it’s like to have their own person. To bring this sweet girl home before someone at Illini Media Group does, find her here: Adopt – Moore’s Rescue Ranch.

Thanks to our friends at Hoveln Heating & Cooling, Inc., we are able to help find homes for cats and dogs every week.
