NEWS FOR CAT LOVERS
===================================
How old is your cat in human years? Well, it's not their
years times 7. That doesn't work for dogs, either. It has
more to do with species, breed, lifestyle, genetics and health.
Here's an article to help you figure out how to figure it out:

TAKE ACTION TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED
===================================
How to help animals:
Always remember to check with your local shelter
to see what they need. Your donation will go directly
to the animals, in sharp contrast to some of the large
national groups, whose donation income goes toward
large administrative salaries and other expenses, not
necessarily for animals. That said, there is one large
sanctuary I do endorse: http://www.deltarescue.org.

May all who are lost, be found. May all who are ill,
be well. May all in harm's way, be saved. May all
without homes, be loved.
