Tails of Bakersfield, The Bakersfield Californian's fundraising drive to help local animal shelters, is half-way through the summer program and already is going strong. So far, readers have donated $4,445 for the Kern County Animal Shelter, ALPHA Canine, The Cat People and Bakersfield SPCA. And just today, we've learned that an anonymous donor will match up to $3,000 in donations for ALPHA Canine. Click here to find out how to donate and get a photo of your pet printed in The Bakersfield Californian. This week's Pets of the Week are sooooo hard for me to pass up! But I already have a dog and a cat. So I'm making endorsements on the potentials of the following animals: Sibling kittens — This is the BEST way to adopt a new cat. I once found a brother-sister set of kittens on my driveway and took them in. What entertainment! They played together every waking moment, chasing each other around the house, tumbling off the couch, having the time of their lives. Who needed TV when I had them? Then, when they slept, they curled up with each other in the sweetest ways. I can't tell you how many photos I took of my kittens sleeping. They were inseparable! The Cat People and the Kern County Animal Shelter are both featuring sibling kittens this week. Check them out! Lab mixes — My chocolate Lab-pit mix is the most loving, docile, obedient, smart dog I've ever had. I've known other Lab mixes that were equally intelligent, eager to please, loyal and sweet. This week, Bakersfield SPCA and the Kern County Animal Shelter are featuring yellow Lab mix puppies. I highly recommend meeting these puppies and seeing if they are a match for you. — Jennifer Baldwin The Cat People, a rescue and adoption agency in Bakersfield, is the latest such group to join The Bakersfield Californian's "Pets of the Week" feature. Poster markthecat has been submitting several oh-so-cute photos and personality write-ups about such kitties as Delilah, a 4-year-old, spayed, female black and white cat. She looks so friendly and beautiful! Here's how to adopt a cat from The Cat People: Cats are adopted by application and an interview for a $50.00 fee from The Cat People at the Rosedale Petco most Saturdays from 10am until 4pm. If this particular cat has been lucky enough to have already been adopted there are many more cats just waiting to go home. For more information, please call 327-4706 or go to www.thecatpeople.org. |
