Pet of the Week

Financial hardship is occurring at the Community Animal Network

because of a lack of donations and a drop in animal adoptions since Sept.

11, said DiAnna Pfaff-Martin, founder of the network.

“Without the necessary funding being available now, we are unable to

continue our mission rescuing local animals,” Pfaff-Martin said.

This cat was found in a trash bin with kittens by a local resident,

Pfaff-Martin said. The network’s foster home program gives local people a

chance to become involved by fostering animals in their home, she said.

The network pays for all food and veterinarian needs.

The network is a community-supported animal organization linking

people and pets through community action. See other animals available for

adoption at o7 https://www.animalnetwork.orgf7 or drop by Russo’s pet

store at Fashion Island between noon and 4 p.m. on weekends.
