Auctioneer Michelle Westford holds an as-yet-unnamed 5-week-old kitten, part of a kitty adoption package at the Edmonds Historical Museum’s annual Heritage Days fundraising gala dinner Friday night. Arriving at the shelter without its mother, the kitten has been bottle-fed by shelter volunteers for the past several weeks. The lucky winner will have to wait an addition few weeks for the kitten to be weaned off milk and begin eating solid food.
