A nine-month-old grey tabby cat named Cefiro is currently housed in Pent 4 at the Cobb County Animal Services facility in Marietta. The shelter listed the male domestic short hair as available for adoption on its website, which the Cobb County Courier features in its daily pet spotlight.

Cefiro weighs six pounds and carries Animal ID number 23741. He arrived at the shelter from the city of Marietta, where he is currently marked with an active shelter status. The facility identifies him as a potential family member for households seeking a long-term feline partner.

Cobb County Animal Services updated its visitor policies to manage staff allocation between volunteers, shelter pets, and prospective owners. The shelter now prefers that visitors schedule an appointment for pet visits, though walk-ins are still accepted. Staff explained that booking allows them to prioritize individuals with scheduled slots if two people arrive at the same time. Owner surrenders remain strictly appointment-based to streamline the intake process.

The shelter operates an online booking service available around the clock for those who wish to reserve a visit. No appointment is required for citizens surrendering strays, reclaiming lost pets, or picking up animals from the facility. The shelter encourages people in these specific situations to visit directly so staff can assist them immediately. For general questions, the facility listed a contact number at (770) 499-4136.

Cobb County Animal Services is located at 1060 Al Bishop Drive in Marietta, Georgia 30008. Visitors can view the current catalog of adoptable pets and book a visit through the online portal at any time. The shelter asked visitors to remember that adopting a pet brings a new family member into the household, urging potential owners to proceed only if they are prepared for a permanent commitment.

The listing for Cefiro remains active on the shelter website. The facility continues to process intake and adoption inquiries for animals from the Cobb County area. Prospective adopters can review the full profile for Cefiro on the Animal Shelters website before scheduling a meeting.
