The East County Californian covered the second annual Cinco de Meow event at Friends of Cats, which combined an adoption event with a celebration featuring a Mexican buffet, cat boutique, and shelter tours.
The article describes Friends of Cats as "a well organized non-profit that runs on necessity, compassion, and lots of optimism," housing about 250 cats on their property off Lake Jennings Park Road.
Animal lover and rescue advocate Coe Lewis from 101.5 KGB hosted the event. "I'm really partial to Friends of Cats because it's such a modest, humble shelter," Lewis said. "What I love about this place is, the staff has been here a really long time so you know they care."
Eight cats were adopted at the Cinco de Meow event -- eight happier homes and room for eight more cats at the shelter.
