Jet was abandoned with his brothers in back of a local animal hospital, who were kind enough to neuter all three of them before sending them to Long Beach Animal Services to find a home. The three little guys were frightened of their new environment and were rescued by Friends of Long Beach Animals (Long Beach, California 90807). One has found a home; Jet is still looking, as is his brother. The name fits the little guy since he “jets” around like a bullet. Interested parties can email info@FriendsofLongBeachAnimals.org.

Jet’s tail was severely deformed causing him a medical problem. Thanks to a generous donor, Bixby Animal Clinic was able to remove his tail leaving a cute little stub that helps propel him into action. You can also stop by Bixby Animal Clinic to fill out an application. Jet and his brothers were on display there.

Two other cats from the shelter are now in the adoption cage who were the shelter “Stars” at the Performance of “CATS” the musical that has just finished its run at Musical Theatre West. FOLBA is calling them Bonnie and Clyde. Stop by Bixby to visit these two lovely shelter rescue cats, who are actually quite different from the original Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie is a medium hair Calico and Clyde is a black-and-white sweetie.

N. Kate Jefferies, an attorney with Matheny Sears Linkert & Jaime LLP in Sacramento, and a Happy Tails (Sacramento, California 95816) volunteer, helps process the orders for the shelter’s Commemorative Brick Program. “Volunteering for Happy Tails has been an extremely rewarding experience,” says Kate, who got started as a volunteer after adopting a Happy Tails kitty.

“People are engraving the bricks with heartfelt messages to friends, family and pets, living and deceased. When I am processing the orders I usually have at least one laugh, a smile and a sad sigh from a message for a favorite pet that has passed on.

“The bricks are a beautiful way to permanently honor a person or pet that has changed your life and to support Happy Tails at the same time,” she adds.

Happy Tails sends a big thank you to Kate and Matheny Sears Linkert & Jaime for allowing Kate to use the office equipment to help Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, one of many nonprofit organizations the firm supports.

If you have not ordered your bricks yet, it’s not too late — Happy Tails is still taking orders. For a $50 donation to Happy Tails, you will receive a 4-inch by 8-inch brick engraved with laser technol- ogy, and it has a lifetime guarantee. The bricks are paving the entrance to the Happy Tails Adoption Center at 6001 Folsom Blvd.

For an order form, visit the Happy Tails web site. The deadline to order bricks for the next delivery is March 19.
