Pet of the 
Week

 Clara (A409511) is a 10-year-
old, spayed female, calico kitty 
looking for a new home. After 
her previous owner passed 
away, Clara came to PHS for 
some temporary shelter while 
she waits for the purr-fect family 
to spend her golden years with. 
Clara is very affectionate. She 
enjoys head rubs and petting, 
purring from the moment you 
open her kennel to the moment 
you close it. Easy to pick up and 
hold and easy to love, Clara is 
looking for a forever family 
who’ll make her their queen.

 The adoption fee for cats is 
$70 and includes the spay or 
neuter surgery, microchip, and 
vaccinations. Clara qualifies 
for our Seniors for Seniors 
program, waiving her adoption 
fee for adopters 60 and over 
($20 microchip fee still applies). 

 New adopters will receive a 
complimentary health-and-
wellness exam from VCA 
Animal Hospitals, as well 
as a goody bag filled with 
information about how to care 
for your pet.

 Call the Pasadena Humane 
Society & SPCA at (626) 792-
7151 to ask about A409511, or 
visit at 361 S. Raymond Ave. 
in Pasadena. Adoption hours 
are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; 
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday 
through Friday; and 9 a.m. to 
4 p.m. Saturday. The Pasadena 
Humane Society will close at 3 
p.m. on New Year’s Eve and be 
closed on New Year’s Day.

 Pets may not be available for 
adoption and cannot be held 
for potential adopters by phone 
calls or email. Directions and 
photos of all pets can be found 
at pasadenahumane.org.

Cold Weather Forecast, 
Protect Your Pets

 Pets are happiest and healthiest 
when kept indoors, especially 
during extreme cold. 

 If your dog is outdoors, they 
must be protected by a dry, 
draft-free shelter that is large 
enough to allow them to move 
comfortably, but small enough 
to hold in body heat. 

 The floor should be raised a 
few inches from the ground and 
covered with cedar shavings or 
straw. The doorway should be 
covered with waterproof burlap 
or heavy plastic.

 Pets who spend a lot of time 
outdoors need more food in the 
winter because keeping warm 
depletes energy. 

 No matter what the 
temperature is, windchill can 
threaten a pet’s life. Exposed 
skin on noses, ears and paw 
pads are at risk for frostbite and 
hypothermia. 

 Cars are one of many hazards 
to small animals — warm 
engines in parked cars attract 
cats and small wildlife. To avoid 
injuring any hidden animals, 
bang on your car’s hood before 
starting your engine.

 Be sure horses have access to 
a barn or a three-sided run-in 
so they can escape the wind and 
cold. blankets will help horses 
keep warm and dry, especially 
if there is any rain or cold wind. 
If you’ve body-clipped your 
horses, keep them blanketed 
throughout the winter.

 If you encounter a pet left in the 
cold, politely let the owner know 
you’re concerned or call the 
Humane Society 626.792.7151 
or pasadenahumane.org.
