The Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley has taken in a female Persian Seal Point cat that was found Saturday morning near the intersection of El Camino Real and North Main Street.

       A scan of the cat showed she has a microchip that traces back to a military facility in Spangdahlem, Germany.

   Shelter officials are hoping the public might recognize the cat, or know of a family who recently relocated to the Las Cruces area from Germany.

   If you know the cat’s owners, or have information where they can be located, call the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley at (575) 382-0018, or stop by the shelter offices at 3551 Bataan Memorial West.
