Animal advocate




I must add my endorsement to the eloquent words of Lisa Friedman and Craige Story in support of shelter animals. Their love for these “surrendered” animals reminds us that we must be responsible and caring owners for them just as we should be responsible and caring parents for our children.

Let me share our family’s joy. In June of 2009, we adopted two 4-year-old sibling cats from the Agoura Shelter. Spencer and Katie were housed closely together in a small cage, almost like a single cat with two heads. And they remain inseparable.

On our first meeting, we fell in love with these two and decided to adopt them both. Spencer and Katie have filled our home and our hearts with joy. They are ever funny and entertaining, to say nothing of mischievous and loving.

Spencer is our most reliable alarm clock, rarely missing his 5:30 a.m. wake-up call to us for his breakfast. And he gets it. Katie, a diva, makes her appearance later.

I also want to commend the Agoura Shelter volunteers for their love and expertise, which are evidenced daily in their care of all the animals. It is a great pleasure to interact with these heroic volunteers. Check them out for yourselves. Carol Rosenberg Agoura Hills
