WILMINGTON,NC(WECT)-Every morning on Carolina in the Morning we feature a pet hoping to find a permanent home.

Aspen is a seven month old kitten who was surrendered by her family because she was too playful.

I had a chance to meet Aspen personally and she is playful but no more than any other kitten would be. She is really sweet and has such pretty colors.

If you are looking for a kitten and want a closer look at Aspen she is living at the New Hanover County Animal Control Center on Division Drive. The phone number is 910-798-7500.

They also have adult cats and dogs available. Be sure to watch Carolina in the Morning every Friday for the Pet of the Week segment.
