Save The Kittens-Sprinkle Flour

STOP THE KIT-NAPPING!
Our street team is out taking a stand against the rise in kitnappings going on in El Paso! Learn more on how you can help at www.savethekittensEP.com.
Kit-Napping is on the Rise!
STOP—don't pick up those kittens!
In the past two years, Animal Services has seen an increase in the number of kittens entering the shelter; more than 1,300 of them died. The tragic loss of life is largely due to disease and kittens failing to thrive, a result of not being provided full immunity and care that a mother offers. If you come across a litter of kittens, remember that mother is probably not too far off and is caring for them from afar. For more information on finding kittens, visit >> www.savethekittensEP.com.

Meet Charlie
Charlie is a volunteer favorite, and is always there to greet you with his tummy for tummy rubs. You can just tell from that soft look in your eyes that he's ready and willing to be your best friend. He loves to go for gentle walks and end the day with some cuddles.

Sidney
Are you a cat person, but can't have one because of those pesky allergies?
Sidney is the purrfect match for you—because she's basically like a cat, only she won't make you sneeze!
Sidney is the best cuddle companion, loves to lounge around and will find any sunspot to soak up some rays. Just like a cat, she'll make sure your hand is always petting her, and the best part is, you get the sweetness of her catlike personality, but you also get the adorable pitty smile of hers.
Come meet Sidney today!
