Pete Just like them will be entered in the pet parade show. Come one and all, and don't delay before the pet you want has been adopted away. R.NELSON PHOTO This is the weekend you get your big chance to make your pet a Valentine winner -- the event, a Valentine pet parade sponsored by Helping Paws; the place, Crystal Point mall; the dates, Feb. 11 and 12; the time, 12 to 5; the participants, you and your pets. Cats will be judged Saturday, the eleventh; dogs on Sunday, the twelfth. There are five categories to be judged each day -• Most Dignified (looks like a king on a throne) from 12 to 1; Most Attractive (pretty, handsome, well-groomed) from 1 to 2; Most Personality (funny, playful, friendly) from 2 to 3; Most Affectionate (loving, gentle, shy) from 3 to 4; and Most Obedient (obeys instantly on comirand) from 4 to 5. You may enter your pet, any breed or mixed breed, in one or all five categories. Ribbons and prizes will be given to the winners. Each category in­ volves a small fee, so multiple entries will call for individual charges for each. Applications for entry are available at most of the stores in the mall. Look for them (they are pink) but if you can't find them call the HP office, 459- 2641, hours 10 to 2, for further information. Last minute entries will be accepted at the HP registration booth in the mall. A few cats and dogs will be on hand for adoption but only cats will be adopted Feb. 11, only dogs Feb. 12. Helping Paws personnel will be there all day starting at 10 in the morning. Something to remember -- everything purchased is a donation to a non-profit organization. A sizeable portion of donations received has already gone to the rehabilitation of injured strays this past year, and it is because of these donations that many a happy healthy pet has been saved. HP is limiting the number of cats and dogs brought for adoption at the show as they prefer to guard against sub­ jecting the animals to too much noise and confusion; also they have an aversion to animals being caged for too long a time. Those who enter their pets in the shows should remember too that it would be advisable to limit the categories in which they enter their pets as a long day might tire them.

Once again we have come to that time of year when there are far too many found cats that no one will claim. We do not have the foster homes or staff to keep them nor can the temporary homes who have found them. So what happens to them? They are usually let loose, or put to sleep or placed into an animal shelter already brimming full. They don't stand a chance.;.if you help us find a home, please call the office.
