North Shore Animal League's 2025 Tour For Life makes a stop in Ohio Township
The North Shore Animal League's 2025 Tour For Life will span 67 cities and 39 states, and on Sunday, it made a stop in western Pennsylvania at Animal Friends in Ohio Township. Jeanette Murray came out with the first adoption of the day. "We found each other pretty quick, then it's meant to be," Murray, of Ross Township, said. She is bringing home Wompuscat. That name might not last long. "I think it's gonna be changed to Tinkerbell," Murray said. Either way, that and the scene on Sunday excited Karisa Fernandez. "This is our first large-scale adoption event in over five years," Fernandez, the special events coordinator at Animal Friends, said. "That's since before the pandemic." Animal Friends is the western Pennsylvania representative for the 2025 Tour For Life. "Animal Friends has welcomed us. They welcomed our mobile unit. We're gonna put some of their adoptable animals on there," Kathleen Lynn, senior director of North Shore Animal League America, said. That they did. Not all the animals there on Sunday call Animal Friends home. "We've even transferred some in from our partner shelters," Fernandez said. But from rabbits eating grass to napping cats, the goal was simple: to get as many pets out of the shelter as possible. "Every time you adopt, you save two lives," Lynn said. "The one you take home, the one we can rescue and put in its place." For the people at North Shore Animal League America, this 39-state tour is nearing its end. "This is our wrap-up weekend, and we couldn't think of doing it in a better place," Lynn said. It was perfect timing for Murray. She was looking for a companion for her handicapped son. "He hasn't been ready for a puppy for a very long time [since] his passed away," she said. Animal Friends hopes it can do more of these bigger-type adoption events in the future.

Cleopatra, a rare female orange cat, is this week's Pet of the Week. Adoption event Sunday
This week's Pet of the Week is Cleopatra. She is a pretty 5-year-old girl found hiding under someone's shed in West Palm Beach. Cleopatra had a microchip but no owner responded to Animal Care and Control's attempts to reunite, so they're hoping to find her a new, loving home. Cleopatra is extra special because she is a female orange cat, and those are far less common than male orange cats! Only 20% of orange cats are female, so this queen is a treasure. Welcome to The Palm Beach Post's Pet of the Week, a series in which we feature animals up for adoption in Palm Beach County in hopes of finding them a loving family. Palm Beach County's animal shelter selects a pet of the week for this series that is safe, friendly and ready to become a companion. All animals are up-to-date on their vaccinations. If you're considering adopting this week, all fees are waived and you can get adoption gifts if you attend their North Shore Animal League America for their 25th Annual Tour for Life from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at Animal Care and Control, 7100 Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach. Here's what to know about our pet of the week, including what Animal Care and Control staffers say about her personality. Age: Five years Weight: 11 pounds Sex: Female, spayed Animal ID: A2224131 More information: Cleopatra is an elegant lady who enjoys basking in the sun and receiving gentle pets. You can find Cleopatra's profile here! Leaders at Palm Beach County's animal shelter choose animals for The Post to feature in this series. They often select longer-term residents or animals who are not adjusting well to living in the shelter. Animals chosen are part of the shelter's "pet pal" program in which volunteers repeatedly evaluate the animal's temperament, safety and friendliness before deciding whether they're ready for immediate adoption, according to the shelter's website. Pets with illnesses or histories of aggression are not eligible for the "pet pal" program. Dogs with histories of biting humans or other animals are also not eligible. You can start the adoption process in person or online. To begin in person: Visit Animal Care and Control during normal business hours at 7100 Belvedere Road near West Palm Beach to fill out an application and meet the pets there. To begin the process online: Use the pet's animal ID number (like the one listed above) to search them on Animal Care and Control's online database. Click on the "Ready to Adopt? Click Here" link to the right of the pet's photo. Fill out the two-page downloadable adoption application and email it to Animal Care and Control at PSD-ACCSupport@ Once Animal Care and Control has reviewed your application, a team member will contact you to confirm that you have been approved to adopt. Submittal of an online application does not guarantee the pet's availability. Adoption fees: Adoption fees are $14 (excluding pre-adoptions) for the entire month of February. Adoption fees are usually $60 for adult dogs, $75 for puppies and $50 for cats and kittens. Palm Beach County residents who are 55 years and older are offered a discounted adoption fee. Note: All animals adopted from Animal Care and Control will be spayed if female or neutered if male. They will be up-to-date on vaccinations, protected against fleas and ticks and microchipped. About fostering: If you are not ready for a long-term commitment, you may want to consider offering foster care to a pet. This is a great way to get the feel for becoming a pet parent, and it allows you and your new prospective pet to get to know each other. You can find more information about fostering on Animal Care and Control's website. Holly Baltz is an editor at The Palm Beach Post. She has a dog, Pippa, who is 9 years old.
