WATZ Pet of the Week with Second Chance Animal Shelter, brought to you by Alpena Buick GMC!
Sapphire wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! This sweetheart is 12 weeks old and while she's snuggled in safe & warm at the shelter, she's dreaming of a home of her own. She gets along with other cats and would love to have a furry friend at her new home, she loves people and is super affectionate.

Sapphire has her age appropriate vaccinations; is litter box trained and comes with a certificate for a free spay when she's old enough.

If you would like to make her Christmas wish come true, contact Second Chance through their page; email [email protected] or call (989) 340-1700.

Today, December 21, is the day of the winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere! It marks the shortest day of the year with the least amount of sunlight.

This natural phenomenon is caused by the northern half of the Earth being tilted as far away from the sun as it can be on its axis, allowing less light to reach the Northern Hemisphere.
