Pet of the Week- Kiki

Pet of the Week- Kiki

Meet Kiki!

Kiki is a beautiful white cat with green eyes and a cute meow.  She is four-years-old and a very playful, loving little girl whose favorite things are string toys, catnip mice, purring and snuggling up in bed with you.

Kiki can be a bit of a diva and would like a quiet household where she is the only cat. But rest assured, she'll reward you with lots of love and affection! She is currently being fostered but is looking for her permanent home. You can contact Sarah Varanini at svaranini@sspca.org if you are interested in finding out more.   

**Also, check out our website www.sspca.org to find out more about our 2011 DOGGY DASH on June 4th at William Land Park. You won't want to miss this great dog-friendly walk and festival, benefitting the SSPCA!!**

Local writer hosts Spanish writing group

Local writer hosts Spanish writing group

Local Sacramento writer Raquel Ruiz has started up Sacramento's first Spanish writing group.  It is based on the Amherst Writers & Artist method (AWA).

The writer's group is specially for cancer survivors, family members and/or friends of cancer patients, but Ruiz says all aspiring writers are welcome to join her FREE group. The participants don't need to have any writing experience, only the desire to write in Spanish.

The writing group will begin meeting on March 3 at the UC Davis Medical Center located at 4800 2nd Avenue, Suite 2200.

"The writing group is free of cost. I'm donating my time and UC Davis is donating their Cancer Center facility," said Ruiz.

Animal House Pet of the Week - March 1, 2011

The Sacramento & Co. Animal House introduces "Jezebel"

Jezebel (ID#A364732), is a 2 to 3-year old female, blue and white Pit Bull Terrier mix.  She is a calm "lap dog," who wants nothing more than to snuggle up next to you on the couch, while you are reading or watching TV.  But, Jezebel is no "couch potato" and loves to get up and go places...just so she can be with you!  She is tolerant of other dogs, but should be adopted into a home where she is the only dog.  Jezebel really just wants you, without having to share!   If you are that special person who welcomes her into your home, Jezebel will reward you with love and loyalty for life. 

Since she is currently in a foster home, the shelter will have to schedule Jezebel for a "meet and greet" with potential adopters.  She has already been spayed, so she can go home the same day she is adopted.
