Sasha Parsons holds Felix during the Nov. 6 First Friday Humane Society of Central Arizona fund-raising bake sale at Bootleg Alley. When Gila County Animal Control picked up Felix on Aug. 25, the HSCAZ staff noticed right away that he had a sore on his throat. The sore was treated, but later it turned into a big abscess which required surgery. The HSCAZ staff held the bake sale to raise money to pay Felix’s vet bill. For more information on Felix or any of the animals available for adoption, call (928) 474-5590 or stop in at 812 S. McLane Road.
