How About a Friend to Curl Up With on a Rainy Day?

The Peninsula Humane Society is waiving adoption fees for all cats and kittens.

Bay Area residents looking to adopt a cat or kitten may now do so free of charge at the Peninsula Human Society and SPCA, Human Society officials announced this week.

The Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion in Burlingame is waiving adoption fees for all cats and kittens. Feline adoption fees usually run from $50 to $95.

"Instead, we’re asking adopters to make a donation in any amount." says PHS's Brian Probst.

The goal is to get a few hundred cats and kittens into new, permanent loving homes by Christmas.

Area residents interested in adopting a feline companion are encouraged to fill out a one-page adoption profile before heading to the shelter. The downloadable profile and a sampling of the shelter's available cats can be found at www.PHS-SPCA.org. The shelter is located at 1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame and is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

To view available cats and kittens, and even see a live webcam video of these cats at play, go to http://phs-spca.org/adopt/cat.html.

Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion is located at 1450 Rollins Rd. in Burlingame. For more information, call 650-340-7022, or go to www.phs-spca.org.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
