Echo the Cat, three-legged senior, featured as Plano's pet of the week

Steve Stoler, Plano's media relations director, introduced "Echo the Cat" as this week's pet from the Plano Animal Shelter.

Stoler said shelter staff describe Echo as about eight years old, a three-legged male who is energetic and affectionate, plays with feathers and ball toys, and is litter-box trained. The newscast encouraged viewers to see all pets up for adoption at the shelter online at share.plano.gov/petsforadoption.

The broadcast provided a brief profile suitable for potential adopters; it did not include veterinary records, adoption fees, or current health-status details, which interested parties must confirm directly with the Plano Animal Shelter.
