Classes will be on two consecutive Saturdays, April 1 and April 8, from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. Space is limited to 20 per workshop. A $5 materials fee will cover eggs, tools, wax and dye.

[Highland Park] 2 cats in need of home.
by Mara Svoboda 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

FROM GLORIA FULLER. DO NOT RESPOND TO ME. My two friendly male cats (brothers) are in need of a home. We moved from a house to a condo and cannot have them at our new place. We took them to the Humane Society on Saturday but they are probably going to be transferred to the Animal Rescue League since that is where we got them. They are 9 years old, use the litter box, affectionate (after they get comfortable) and they get along very well together. They have their shots, are neutered and are good cats. They do not hiss, bite or even meow too much. They also do well with children over 2. They can contact me at 412-913-0278
