Pet Of the Week

Bob and Wendy Pierce have called Community Animal Network for assistance in rescuing an orange cat that they believe to be hungry and without a home living near 2006 W. Oceanfront, next to Newport Pier.

The Pierce’s children, Kelly and Bobby, befriended the cat during their two-week vacation from Phoenix. The family was planning on taking the cat home with them, but it was not to be found when the family was leaving Saturday.

The Pierces are terribly worried and will fly back to rescue the animal. Community Animal Network is asking if anyone knows this cat to call (949) 759-3646 to get involved and help drive the cat to the vet to be scanned for a microchip, have a thorough exam and blood test before traveling to Phoenix in his new home.

The family is anxious to know whether the cat is safe. The family is certain the cat is still hanging around the vacation rental.

In other news, Community Animal Network has raised the money to “rescue back” the Newport Harbor High School students’ kittens whose lives were at risk from the shelter.

Community Animal Network continues to be asked to help local animals, and it is stressful to have the ability to help and not the funds. Please consider making a monthly pledge. Mail your checks to Community Animal Network, P.O. Box 8662 Newport Beach, CA, 92658 and memo your check “Shelter Rescue,” nonprofit tax ID 33-0971560.
