Bobtail--Calico Kitten

Please adopt "Bobtail." She obviously needs a real name.

Precious--Tortie Kitten

Precious needs a forever home--along with several other cats and dogs at the Florence Shelter. Please consider visiting the shelter and making your family complete; it's the only love you can "buy."

We recently heard of a story that happened 30 years ago, but it still bears telling. A young grandmother and her two small grandchildren owned a beautiful color point cat. The cat somehow wandered out an open door and climbed a tree. The children were disconsolate, so the grandmother called the police department.

A Russellville police officer soon arrived and promptly shot the house cat--in front of its owner and her two small charges. We don't know why the woman didn't file a complaint against the officer, but it was a different time, and Russellville has never been known for progressive thought.

The above tale is horrible to think about, but so are the innocent kittens and puppies that are put down for want of a home. Please neuter your pets...and please adopt from local shelters.

Rock Cats & More

We understand the two dogs from Center Star Market have now been rescued. Thanks to those who took the time and patience to provide these dogs with a good forever home.

The reward for information in the attack on Jake is now $150.00. If anyone has information on who at the Hensley-Thompson Apartments threw a bottle at Jake, please call the Florence Police Department. Your name will not be given out.

For all the cat lovers out there, here's a must see video:
