Hey Local Buzz Folks, we would like you to meet Jayne ❤️. She is one of Companions Animal Center's special needs felines. Jayne is an amazing cat. Jayne is almost three years old and loves spending time peering out the window. Unfortunately, she does need daily care which makes her harder to adopt but she would make an amazing addition to your home.

Companions Animal Center, formerly Kootenai Humane Society, has cared for and found homes for unwanted animals for over 45 years. Please visit our website companionsanimalcenter.org for more information or stop by Tuesdays through Sundays starting at noon each day. They have many ways in which you can give to their causes, so please CLICK HERE to donate if you would like 🙏.

Whether you are a business owner in Coeur d’Alene or the surrounding areas and would like to have your business “Spotlighted” in one of our articles or Video Business Spotlight, let us know by email. Feel free to let a business that you love know about this - we’d love to support them too!
