    Danny Boy, left, who may be close to 2 years old, is a terrific cat at Halfway Home Pet Rescue whose personality reminds staff and volunteers of the song “I’m just a good old boy, not meaning no harm.” This is a personality plus, highly confident cat that needs to be out on a farm as an inside/outside cat because he like to check things out. Danny has had all of his medical completed and is ready for adoption into a good family. HHPR was able to deposit $654 into the checking account this week due to the PI Forum Trash and Treasure Sale. All of this money will go directly on the current vet bill. Their next fundraiser will be on Saturday, May 4th in Van Buren with a Craft and Bake Sale Booth. Funds are raised to meet the medical needs of HHPR cats, where they pay for the spay/neutering, snap-combo tests, shots, everything — about $175 of medical care for an adult cat and to keep the adoption fee at only $25. Dr. Andrea Pesut of the Presque Isle Animal Hospital, pictured above with Lily, will be the guest speaker at the Sunday, April 28 Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty Program from 1-2:30 p.m. at the Caribou Lions Community Building, next the fire station on High Street. The program is free of charge and sponsored by the Halfway Home Pet Rescue. The program will explain about upper respiratory infection, Coccidia, internal and physical birth defects, and the issue of infant death in kittens. A question-and-answer period will be held and coffee and light refreshments will be available. HHPR is a 501c3 non-profit and a state licensed pet rescue. We are located at 489 Main St., Caribou, call Mary at 999 1075, check us out on www.halfwayhomepetrescue.org or on Facebook.
