Easter is the most important day of the year for Christians, and it arrives relatively late this year: April 20. However, it is preceded by the preparatory season of Lent, which begins on March 5 for most Christians (and March 3 for those following the traditional Eastern Orthodox calendar).

“Why are we continuing to build and we're in a drought? I got my water bill today and it said ‘drought alert.’ Why would the city allow people to keep building houses so they can spread what little water we have for the community members who live here to use? As a tax paying community member, I'm not happy about that. If we're in a drought, don't add more people. We need to get some fresh people in there making the decisions. They need to halt all that building.”

Tux came to Pet Friends with her buddy Flame last year as abandoned cats. Flame was adopted recently, and Tux should also have a home of her own. She is an adult cat (and eligible for the reduced adoption fee for adult cats), litter box trained and ready for a sunny spot on the floor of her new home. She is ok with the other cats here at Pet Friends, and seems to be non-aggressive with the other cats. Tux is moderately playful, and not an "Underfoot" kind of cat. She might be ok with dogs, and she did seem to adapt to the Pet Friends environment fairly quickly. She will come with her shots, and already spayed; all set for a happy life with a new family. If Tux seems like the cat for you, please call or visit Pet Friends to come see her. See our new website at http://www.petfriends.org/, or call us at 831-634-1191. If you'd like to just come by and help Tux (and other cats and dogs) pass the time waiting for their forever home. Pet Friends welcomes volunteers who would like to help socialize cats and dogs. Walking the dogs is always needed, and cats love to play with the people who visit. See our website for  additional information on volunteering with Pet Friends.
