PET OF THE WEEK

MOESHA AND MIMI

After having to put a mother and father into a senior care facility, a Corona del Mar resident who is allergic to felines has had to find a new home for the couple’s cats.

We hope to place the two beautiful female Himalayan cats Moesha and Mimi as a pair.

Most municipal shelters (including Newport Beach) will not take residents’ relinquished pets, forcing local animals to be turned over to the county shelter where more than 50% of the animals die.

To help local animals in need; send your check, non-profit tax ID 33-0971560, and mail to Community Animal Network, P.O. Box 8662 Newport Beach, CA, 92658.

See this week’s pets and other animals available for adoption at www.animalnetwork.org, or stop by Russo’s Pet Experience at Fashion Island every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
