Creature Corner: December 17, 2020

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” ARF cats heard news about adoptions.
Holly: Puppies! ARF has puppies!
Willow: What a perfect way to welcome 2021, with a puppy.
Holly: They will be ready to go to their forever homes Dec. 31 and their mama is also looking for a forever home.
Pepper: How can people meet them and learn more?
Holly: This Saturday they will be here with Molly, their mama. People should make appointments right away to meet them and submit applications.
Willow: They absolutely must have an appointment to meet the two male and two female pups.
Pepper: And I’ve heard that the mama is such a sweet, affectionate lady.
Willow: So, we have puppies. All kittens have homes. And of course, there’s us.
Holly: Willow, you and I have done our jobs raising kittens.
Willow: We truly have and now we need forever homes.
Pepper: And don’t forget about us! The rest of the adult cats here have the same Christmas wish.
Holly: You know, pets in the home do so much to help humans during this terrible pandemic.
Lulu: We do! We lower blood pressure and promote a loving calm.
Holly: To be honest, I’m not 100% certain that puppies will promote “calm.”
Pepper: Maybe not Holly but they will most certainly provide lots and lots of love and laughter!
Lulu: And can’t everyone use a bit of that right now?
Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “Days of our Nine Lives” each week. And please stop in to say hello to the entire adoptable cast at the ARF House, 26890 Highway 243 on Saturdays 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m.-2 p.m., or by appointment M–F by calling 951-659-1122.
