Top Ten Cat Tips from Hopeful Henry

Dear Hopeful,

I know you're of the canine set, but I need some hints and tips to share with my feline friends.

Dear Meowww,

Of course, always love to help friends of ALL animals! Here are my TOP TEN useful, and surprising cat tips:

Cats Dig Running Water

Pet of the Week: Zephyr

There are many cut female kittens at the shelter who are in need of adoption, but this week we've chosen "Zephyr" to be the Pet of the Week.

No matter what personality or color you like in a cat, you're sure to find the right one for you at the El Dorado County Animal Services, 530-573-7925. The kittens just want their forever home.

For Spay-Neuter services and other support, call the Lake Tahoe Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at 530-542-2857.

Ask Hopeful Henry: We need litter box advice

Litter Box advice that will keep you and kitty happy.

Hopeful Henry: Spaying and neutering your pets saves lives

In honor of World Spay Day I wanted to share some myths and facts regarding spaying or neutering your pets with the hope it will encourage you to make the correct decision and have your furry family members spayed or neutered (females get spayed and males get neutered).

MYTH: It's better to have one litter before spaying a female pet.
FACT: Every litter counts.
Medical evidence indicates just the opposite. In fact, the evidence shows that females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier.

MYTH: I want my children to experience the miracle of birth.

Hopeful Henry: Are pets a good present to give?

It’s kitten season!

All kittens at both the Placerville and South Lake Tahoe shelters are currently available for adoption for half-price (only $40).
