Brownies and kittens . . . what could be sweeter?







Wednesday we were treated to the silly giggles and proud grins of ten busy Brownies from Troop 33162 from Toro Park School. The girls had decided to use the proceeds from their Girl Scout cookie sales to help AFRP animals.


Turning Samoas and Thin Mints into cat toys, dog harnesses, chew toys and kitty litter, how cool is that? Best of all, the girls presented AFRP with a check for $750 earmarked for the Feline Family Fund to sponsor a mamma cat and litter of kittens. (In photo standing left to right are: Rachel Roberts, Olivia Robledo, Gillian Horak, Cienna Kennamore and Renee Ortega. Kneeling left to right are Alexandra Clark, Grace Parker, Sarah Flynn, Jillian Wilcox and Lindsey Meeks. Back row: Michael Kirch with Butterscotch, Alexandra McCabe.)

Thanks to the girls, we were able to rescue Izzie and her litter of four adorable orange tabby kittens from the Salinas Animal Services on Thursday. Izzie is an ultra-friendly polydactyl (extra toes) calico and three of her four kittens are polydactyl too! (We counted SEVEN toes on the front paws of one of the kittens!) This darling kitty family will spend about six weeks in their foster home and then will be available for adoption. Stay tuned!

Moms and kittens are arriving at the shelters daily this time of year. If you would like to help us save these precious lives, please consider making a donation to our Feline Family Fund.
