Creature Corner: June 17, 2021

Cinnamon

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats welcomed the “spicy” litter of kittens.
Lulu: The remaining two kittens of our original litter have been adopted.
Stevie: Are you talking about Ike and Charlotte?
Lulu: That’s right.
Pepper: This is good news, but we have barely gotten to know so many dogs and cats before they are adopted.
Whiskers: I guess that is a good-news-bad-news situation.
Pepper: Mostly good news.
Stevie: How are the new kittens getting along?
Pepper: They are feeling right at home.
Whiskers: But a forever home would be much nicer.
Lulu: Absolutely! A human family to love and care for each is the best.
Pepper: Did you know that Anise of the “spicy” litter has been adopted?
Apricot: I hadn’t heard that. What great news! So that leaves Saffron, Tonka, and Clover.
Cinnamon: And don’t forget about Apricot and me! We are super friendly cats, and we are good looking, if I must say so myself.
Whiskers: You really have unusual markings on that beautiful orange coat.
Cinnamon: Thanks. And Apricot is really handsome, too.
Apricot: Aw, shucks. Thank you.
Stevie: I’ve heard the ARF humans talking about me, saying how friendly I am.
Cinnamon: This is a great time for humans to visit all of us. There is plenty of love to go around.
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. Please call 951-659-1122.
