The denizens of the animal shelter are primping for Saturday's all-day adoption event.
One of my first loves was Nikolai. A gentleman silver tabby of a certain age and sweet temperament, he won me over right there at the animal shelter, among scores of other cats, with his singular mix of quiet reserve and friendliness. It felt like destiny, and Nikolai and I adored each other from the start.
This Saturday, in honor of the special bond shared by pets and their people, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter is holding its Meet Your Match adoption event for cats, dogs and rabbits. All adoptions are half-price; vaccines, microchipping and nail trimming are to be had onsite 1-4pm and photographer David Reese will do $25 pet portraits 10am-2pm. Adoptions all include spay/neuter procedures, vaccinations, leashes for dogs and carriers for cats. Goobery love for your new best friend not included, but widely available onsite.
MEET YOUR MATCH is Saturday, Feb. 11, 9am-5pm at 2200 7th Ave., Santa Cruz. 831.454.7200.
