Time now for our Pet of the Day, and we've got a distinguished gentleman waiting for his forever home.

That's Earl, a seven-year-old domestic longhair and Maine Coon mix who's looking for someone special. With that Maine Coon heritage, you know Earl's got some serious fluff going on, plus that laid-back personality these gentle giants are known for.

Oh, I love a cat with character. Seven years old means Earl's past all that kitten craziness and ready to just be your buddy.

Exactly. He's at that perfect age where he knows what he likes and he's ready to settle in with the right family. Earl's been waiting patiently at the shelter, and he's hoping someone will see what a special guy he is.

Well, Earl sounds like he'd make someone very happy. If Earl sounds like your match, head to the Lexington Humane Society on Old Frankfort Pike to meet him in person.

That's the Lexington Humane Society on Old Frankfort Pike, and Earl will be waiting for you.
