 Kitten Rescue is a wonderful nonprofit organization in Los Angeles that rescues about 1,000 cats and kittens a year, and also adopts out approximately the same number. In the eleven years they've been operating, they've adopted out approximately 9,200 cats and kittens. They are a group of dedicated volunteers who, in the City of Angels, can truly be considered angels themselves. President Ben Lehrer spoke with Green Paw about this most worthwhile cause.

 My fiancé and I have a three-year-old German shepherd. Like most dogs his age, Max is bursting with energy and enthusiasm, and immensely loves his walks and play time. And, like most dogs, he enjoys a hike in nature. Hikes are a great way for dogs to burn off all their pent-up energy especially if they’re a city dog like Max. It’s good not only for their physical health but also for their emotional well being.

 Each year close to a billion dollars is spent on flea, tick and mite repellents for our dogs and cats. The thought of our beloveds getting Lyme, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever disease from ticks or Sarcoptic Mange from mites, let alone flea infestation resulting in one big itchy household is more than we can deal with. So each year the average family can easily spend well over $200 to protect just ONE pet. This does not even include heartworm medication! While this is obviously tough on the purse, what cost is this having on our pet’s health as well as ours?

 Jennifer Pryor and her late husband, actor-comedian Richard Pryor, shared a passion for animals. They were crusaders together, championing the causes of both wild and domesticated animals. Whether it was helping save baby elephants stolen from their mothers or rallying politicians to prosecute animal abusers, the couple did what they could to fight injustice against animals. Today, Jennifer continues their calling, without her husband, but with the same unwavering conviction.

 Green Paw is happy to announce that the GoGirlsMusicFest raised thousands of dollars for animal rescues and organizations throughout the U.S. GP was a proud sponsor of the 8th Annual MusicFest which showcased concerts featuring independent female artists in 13 cities. GoGirls volunteers in each city chose a local animal group to benefit. The Dumb Friends League (est. 1910) was one of the worthwhile organizations the MusicFest raised money and awareness for. In this case, the word "dumb" refers to those who cannot speak. Their mission: "speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves."

 I have always believed that the very first thing we should be concerned about when it comes to our companion animals is what we feed them. I have taught and lectured on this for over 25 years. I have seen the enormous benefits with my own companion animals, as well as with the thousands of animals that I have seen switched to a natural diet.
