Includes 4 bowls of soup Adults Seniors $10 $8 Kids (under 12) $8 Extra Bowl (each) $2 You And Your Pets Tiger Lilly YOU AND YOUR PET Property owners outside of Acton were shocked when they found a single kitten, who then became a young mom with four kittens on their doorstep. NHKR relocated the hungry mom and kittens to a foster home where the kittens quickly became independent when food was provided. Her "po- tato chip" kittens are ready for adoption and now it's time for mom-- Miss Vickie-- to have a home. A little bit sassy but so lovable, Miss Vickie is an entertaining girl. She is a gentle cat and clearly demonstrates what she enjoys and does not. Just watch her tail! A gentle swat (without nails) means she didn't appreciate "that" but she won't run away if there will be more of what she does enjoy. Any favourable attention is welcome, even from strang- ers and she does not shy away from loud house- hold noise or commotion. Her announcements when she's caught a toy mouse are endearing and observing her play indicate she is a happy cat. At night she likes to snuggle close but she draws away from confinement, more content beside someone than in their lap. Miss Vickie is an intelligent cat, approaching new circum- stances with curiosity and confidence. Although she was found outdoors, she shows no interest in re- turning outside and is content to spend her time indoors with her main source of pleasure-- people. Miss Vickie's friendly relationship with people, her passive attitude toward other cats and her ac- ceptance of friendly dogs would allow her to fit into most homes with little adjustment. The moms-- Miss Vickie, Dahlia and Tiger Lily-- will be available for adoption Saturday at Pet Valu, 369 Mountainview Rd., 1-3 p.m. Kittens and young cats at Pet Valu, 235 Guelph 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All NHKR adoptions are $160.

By Barb Johnson info@nhkr.ca Her kittens safe, Miss Vickie now yearns for a home The first thing you realize on meeting these two dogs, Fred and Pebbles, is that they are incredibly attractive and completely bonded to each other. Fred loves Pebbles and she idolizes, and is, total- ly dependent on Dad's love and guidance (all you daughters out there will know what that is like). Fred is a Great Pyrenees and Pebbles is a cross; although both have white silky coats. Fred is two and weighs 70 lbs.; Pebbles is six months old and tips the scales at 30 lbs. The duo are housebroken, fine with apprecia- tive, kind children and receptive of other dogs (not tested with cats). Both dogs are medium to high on the energy scale with the puppy obvious- ly at the higher end as Pebbles is a playful pup but not rambunctious. The dogs are housebroken, actively working on their basic commands and are relatively good on leash. Fred and Pebbles believe it or not came to UCHS as "strays" so this pair of "Happy Wander- ers" have to go to a home with a secure fenced yard in case wanderlust strikes again! Fred and Pebbles have not shown any aggres- sion at all, are gentle and quiet and are food-mo- tivated which will help with training. It is quite emotional to see the bond they share; Fred is very maternal with Pebbles and it is touching to watch them lick each others faces; even the cones they wore after neutering and spaying did not stop them. Pebbles slid her little cone into Fred's big- ger one and they were able to be close. When together playing or relaxing their personalities flourish which leaves no doubt that this bonded pair has to find a home together. Lucky will be the family who welcome this great pair of dogs into their home. If you feel it is you, please call the Shelter at 519-833-2287 or e- mail adoptions@uppercredit.com to meet them and add joy to your day.
