Kittens

While Christmas kittens are in big demand, dogs are also still

around. The Community Animal Network will offer a purebred Rottweiler

dog at this weekend’s adoption, said DiAnna Pfaff-Martin, the

network’s founder. Last week it found a home for a Lhasa apso.

Since finding homes for dogs is a much more difficult task, and

the demand for kittens remains high, Pfaff-Martin recommends that

interested families should hurry.

“Each week, we have fewer kittens available, and the ones we have

just get older,” she said. “Why not enjoy a holiday kitten now and

make it a family event to come pick one out?”

Last weekend, five adult cats were put in loving homes, which made

network volunteers very happy, Pfaff-Martin said.

“Adult cats are better than the tiny kittens, as they already have

good house manners and defined personalities we can tell you about.

Besides, it saves lives when you adopt an older animal,” she said.
