Be Kind to Animals Week - May

National Pet Week & Be Kind to Animals Week is the first week in May this year. I know what all you animal lovers like me are thinking out there -- why just one week? Well, you have to give American Humane credit for creating this event because since 1915 they've been trying to make people aware of the importance of being kind to animals.

Green Paw Best Friends: Meet Sydney

?

Meet SYDNEY as well as other Green Paw Best Friends.

SYDNEY, the "Wild Kitty" My cat Q had just died when I found a teensy kitten hopping around in the ivy outside the house. My first thought was I must get her out of harm?s way as the neighborhood was being invaded by coyotes looking for a good meal.? But there was no catching this girl easily. I put food out for her but she was extremely skittish, and more interested in eating bugs than the food I was supplying.
