Cat finds a home

CALDWELL (AP) - A 12-year-old cat named Pete who lived at a southwest Idaho animal shelter for a year and a half has been adopted.

Workers at the Canyon County Animal Shelter in Caldwell say they expected the short-haired male cat with an illness similar to Parkinson's disease to live out his life at the shelter. He was dropped off by a family which moved.

Pete holds the record for the longest time spent at the shelter.

The shelter has operated as a no-kill facility since October 2011.
