Pet of the week: Stan

Stan is a shy boy looking for a special someone who can show him some extra love. He is still learning to trust people but is very curious to see what you are doing. He likes to play with toys and other cats and will need to be inside to protect his white nose from the sun.

To meet Stan contact the Ballarat Animal Shelter on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au, see all pets for adoption on Pet Rescue
