Homemade Pet Food!

A recent New York Times article profiled pet owners who are increasingly making homemade, organic meals for their dogs and cats. One New York woman, Barbara Laino, runs workshops on healthy eating for both humans and their pets. She says, "We know processed foods are wrong for us. It has to be wrong for them. If you can feed yourself healthily and your children, then you can feed your pets healthily, too. It really isn’t that hard.”

Some experts have warned that homemade pet meals can lack necessary nutrients and calories, so talk to your vet before starting your pet on homemade food.

Petition to Stop the Japanese Whale Hunt - for Good

The International Whaling Commission (IWC) enacted a moratorium on commercial whaling in 1986, but Japan, together with Norway and Iceland, have since continued to brutally slaughter whales under the guise of "scientific research."

Please help to make sure that Japan realizes that the world wants to see a complete and permanent end to their whaling program by signing this petition to the Ambassador of Japan to Australia, Mr. Shigekazu Sato.

George

Energetic George is an adorable 9-year-old black male cat. He is independent and has lots of energy but is also very affectionate and likes to cuddle.

George’s guardian’s personal circumstances require her to find him a new home, but he has been deeply wanted, loved and cared for.

George really likes men so an ideal home would include at least one man. He lived with a cat a number of years ago and is open to one now - if he can be the alpha cat!

George still has his claws and is up-to-date on all of his shots. He lives in New York City and can be personally delivered to your home. As with all adoptions, there is an obligatory home-visit and reference-check.

Please contact Amber at anevens@yahoo.com or 646-241-0126 if you or anyone you know has room in their heart and home for George.
