[Highland Park] affectionate young cat searching for a good home
by Anne McCafferty 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

I found a beautiful semi-frozen kitten on Friday night crying on the bus shelter side of Stanton Avenue near Jancey Street. I have been unable to locate whom he may belong to but he is definitely a home-oriented cat. He seems to be about 8 - 10 weeks old, is very affectionate, and has a velvety gray coat with a white necklace patch under his throat. Seems to have a streak of Siamese around his ears. We have an older "only cat" at home who is not pleased with this playful intruder so it is best that he have his own loving home. Please email me if you'd like more information.

Thank you for all of the recommendations for show repair shops. There were two standout winners: Palermos on Butler St. in Lawrenceville (near 62nd St bridge) Fox Chapel Shoe Repair in the Fox Chapel Plaza by Loafers Bread, Don Royal Cleaners, etc I used Fox Chapel shoe repair and they were wonderful. Polite, reasonably priced and fast. Really good service from very sweet people.

Hi! I have a small bag with baby announcements, baby shower little thingies (plastic rattlers, diaper pins, strollers, bottles, etc) and a few ribbons that need to go to a good home. My MIL gave them to me after the baby shower she threw for us but I really have no use for them. I was going to freecycle them but I thought to offer them in HP first. best! Coty.-

Hi, neighbors, As many of you know, last summer I started writing a book, Saving Our Public Libraries: Why We Should.

My book provides page after page of library funding successes, best practices, expert advice, and innovative funding ideas from 50+ library experts across the nation. More about the book and a link to my website where you can see the beautiful cover (the magical entrance to the children's room at Old Worthington Library, OH) is below. This book is an empowering book for libraries and library supporters. Please let any library you care about know that this book is available with funding ideas and practices that can help them.
