I have seen more than a few emails come to my inbox with the words “price drop” and “price improvement” in the past few weeks. It seems that the days of a listing getting multiple offers are maybe not over, but less frequent.

Meet Curry, a spicy little cat currently hanging out at the Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center but hoping for some new digs soon. Curry is a domestic shorthair mix who is just over a year-and-a-half old and weighs six pounds. He has a really nice coat of black fur with white underneath and some serious whiskers happening, too. While he can certainly be energetic, Curry is somewhat on the shy side when he meets new people. He would need to have some calm and serenity when he first finds his way into a new environment. He’d prefer to be in a home where all the kiddos are at least 12 years of age. There is no appointment necessary to come and meet Curry, just swing by the shelter an day from noon-6 p.m.
