A 12-year old female cat, Hallie a.k.a. The Boog (short for “Boogie”), is looking for a new home. She needs to be in a home without other cats. The home where she is right now has a blended family of four cats which does not work well for her. The Boog would be happier with another loving owner.

The Boog is black, declawed, vocal and feisty but loves to hang out with you and sit on your thigh, facing outward, while you pet her. She’s on the plump side, but has no health problems.

The Boog is up-to-date on vet care, shots, etc. She loves ham, yogurt and edamame. She likes to know what you are up to. She needs focused attention but can be happy by herself as well. She will use a litter box as long as she is the only cat using it. She has no special dietary requirements.

If you are interested please contact The Boog’s current owner at: hippieflanders [at] gmail.com.

Neighbor Eli Green reports some porch thefts recently near 49th and Springfield:

“I wanted to give a head’s up that in the past few days between our house and the neighbors’, three bikes have had their front wheels stolen.   The bikes have been chain locked to the porches, and the thefts have occurred while people were home – both in the afternoon and at night. (This in the 49th/Springfield area). This comes after having the cushion to my porch papasan chair stolen, and something I would have sworn was least likely to get stolen- a compost bucket full of stinky, rotting compost.”

Today’s dog is Dakota, a male beagle.

Dakota is very good with kids and is house broken and trained in basic commands. His owners currently can’t handle their two dogs with a new baby and would love to find a loving home for him.

Dakota is also good with other dogs, but his owners are not sure about cats since he hasn’t been around any.

Dakota is up to date with all vaccinations, flea treatment and is neutered.
