Need help getting through your holiday to-do list? Personal Assistant Cat to the rescue!

We recently started using the ASPCA's Feline-ality assessment program at our Georgia Avenue shelter to give prospective adopters a quick snapshot of what each cat is like. Sneakers, for instance, is a Personal Assistant.

Sneakers is available for adoption at Washington Humane Society

It might look like he's napping, but he's actually brainstorming ways to minimize your year-end stress. I know because I once lived with a personal assistant cat. She had a paw in choosing everything from Christmas presents to Netflix movies - and even 401(k) investments!

Sneakers is up for all that and more. He's feeling understandably frustrated because he's stuck at the shelter while there's sooo much he should be helping with at your house!

Please come take him home so he can get started pronto; with only 34 shopping days left, there's no time to lose! By the way, Sneakers is not only super useful but handsome and cuddly too!
