Uplifting kitty porn

Chances are, you're probably spending an hour or two every week checking out kitty porn on the Internet. You know, Cute Overload-type pictures of cats, dogs, rabbits, capybaras—even a capybara cuddling with a cat. Dedicate a few of those critter-tastic moments to reading the profiles of the animals at Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary (www.harvesthomesanctuary.org). If tears do not well when reading the story of Dexter, “The abandoned dog who rescued himself,” you might be broken. The sanctuary, based an hour-and-a-half away from Sacramento in the San Joaquin Valley, has adorables available to adopt, too. Visit the sanctuary in person, or check out its booth at Animal Place's 25th annual Music in the Meadows benefit in Grass Valley on Saturday, June 7, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Details are at www.musicinthemeadow.org.
