Special Kitty of the Day for March 29th


Name:	Jax	Age:	Two years old
Gender:	Male	Kind:	Domestic Short Hair
Home:	Concord, California, USA
Hello! My name is Jax, or Jaxter. I was adopted from the shelter my mom volunteers at when I was nine weeks old (I will be two in April). I was taken away from my brother and sisters and brought to a house that has two dogs and another cat. I try to “play” with the other cat but she just screams at me. Apparently my idea of playing isn’t the same as hers. I always played that way with my siblings at the shelter. But you know, now that I think about it, my little sister used to get fussy with me too when I’d jump on her. Huh, must be a girl thing. My mom and dad say I act more like a dog than a cat. I greet them at the door when they come home. I love to play fetch with a mouse toy that is torn to shreds. I also love to play with my dog brother, Taggart. I like making funny noises when I find a bug or bat a toy under a door to a closet. Just letting the humans in the house know what’s going on. Oh, and I love getting drinks from the bathroom faucet. Each night when mom goes in to get ready for bed I jump up on the counter and ask for some water. Here are two baby pictures of me and two big kitty pictures. Can you see how much I’ve grown? Mom says I’m getting chubby, but she loves big kitties. As long as I’m healthy, we’re all happy! See more images of Jax!

Dog-gone Doggie of the Day for Spring Equinox!


Name:	Taggart	Age:	Three and a half years old
Gender:	Male	Breed:	Australian Shepherd mix
Home:	Concord, California, USA
Hello! My name is Taggart. My mom volunteers at a shelter called ARF and was working one evening for a special event in November of 2008. I was brought out to meet people and when I met my mom I put my head on her leg and that was it. She came back the next day to adopt me and I’ve been happily living in my new home for over three years. I will be turning four in May of this year. I live in a house with one other dog and two cats. I like to play with the cats but only the boy cat will play with me. The girl just runs and hides. Right now I am the only dog in the house. My sister, Zoee, has been at grandma’s house since Christmas. I’m not sure why, something about her knee, but I know I miss her. I’m so bored all the time with no one to play with. But mom takes me on walks and sometimes to the park to play with other dogs. That’s so cool! That’s not something we do when Zoee is home. My mom and dad always say how silly I am. I sleep in funny positions and make strange noises when I yawn. Mom also says I sound like Chewbacca (whoever that is). The picture of me with the tennis ball is when I first came home. I sure have grown! Mom says I’m a little chunky right now since I’m not getting as much exercise with Zoee being gone. She even cut back on my food! But I still get a carrot every day. Well, I’m going to go bug mom to take me for a walk since the rain has stopped for a while. Talk to you later!!
