Lawndale, Developer Grapple With New Expansion
By Haleemon Anderson
With critical deadlines looming, a proposed
retail development at Hawthorne and Manhattan
Beach boulevards took center stage at this
week’s City Council meeting.
The sale and redevelopment of the 1.37acre space is currently under the direction of
the Arroyo Seco Development Group, since
December 2015. The developer is charged with
delivering a letter of intent from a restaurant
by the September 3 deadline. The council has
made it clear that it expects a family style, sitdown restaurant, although no specific vendor
was mandated.
Representatives of Arroyo Seco were on
hand Monday to update the council. Steve
Boss, principal representative, said the agency
is in the midst of an aggressive tenant search.
Boss said at least 20 restaurants have expressed
interest and of those, eight are sit-down venues.
“There is plenty of tenant interest,” said Boss.
Nevertheless, Boss explained the complications
involved in nailing down the particulars of
this deal. He said site-planning options are
heavily dependent on what vendors require to
take up tenancy. And, inevitably, the councils’
specifications must take precedent.
The council has envisioned the location
as an attractive gathering place with outdoor
seating, and modern architecture. Boss said
the south-west corner space is in a population
dense area and its location is a strength. But
bringing in a “synergistic tenant mix” is the
challenge.
He explained that the trend in dining is
toward “fast-casual.” These kinds of eateries
can be more cost effective rent-wise, than
large, sit-down spaces because of their quick
turnover potential. He asked the council to
remain patient and open-minded as he and
his team continue to vet prospects.
“We are going to lock up the best tenant
proposal we can,” said Boss. “We absolutely
want to deliver what the city and residents want.”
Mayor Robert Pullen-Miles confirmed that,
beyond the family restaurant, none of the other
specifics are set in stone. He said there is
precedent for modification to the original plan.
“Hotels in this area have a 98-percent
occupancy rate,” said Pullen-Miles, speaking
about high-volume special events. “We may
want to re-think a hotel.” Pullen-Miles, as
well as other council members have been
vocal about the revenue potential of the NFL
franchise coming to Inglewood. That deal
finalized just several months ago.
When an agreed upon plan is reached, the
city will sell the property to Arroyo Seco, who
will develop the property to the agreed upon
specifications. Lawndale stands to benefit from
property and sales taxes from retail tenants in
the new space, but not from the property sale.
That’s because the sales revenue will need
to be returned to the state, in a somewhat
unwieldy formula that amounts to a payback
for past redevelopment funding. The state
dissolved redevelopment agencies a few years
ago, replacing them with “successor agencies”
and creating a new revenue platform.
City Manager Steve Mandoki explained
that the Council acts as the successor agency,
handling the business of the dissolved
redevelopment agency and dealing with financial
matters related to dissolution and other prior
redevelopment matters.
Several community members expressed
misgivings with the project. Steve Koonz
was especially concerned about conflict with
another nearby community fixture. “Where
is the loyalty to Spires,” he said, referring to
the long-standing family eatery, just across the
corner from the proposed development.
Another resident, Monica, suggested Arroyo
Seco may not have a good pulse on the youth
market. “What millennials really want is
activities,” she said. “You should be developing
something recreational.” She also pointed out
that youth like to frequent specialty restaurants,
with more of a trendy appeal.
Councilman Jim Osborne brushed aside
suggestions from the audience that the council
acted without input, saying, “The Council
held a community meeting and the room was
packed. A sit-down family restaurant—that
was the consensus.”
Two local developers also made comments
before the council, seeking clarification on the
RFP process. One asked for clarity on why his
group was not chosen, saying his offer was in
line with the appraised value of the location.
The other developer said his company was
still interested in the project and is prepared
to buy the property outright.
Mandoki, in prepared notes, indicated three
finalists, Arroyo Seco along with Festival and
Frontier, were interviewed by staff. Arroyo
Seco was selected by the Successor Agency.
The company has an exclusive negotiations
agreement (ENA) with Lawndale which expires
in November.
In the bi-monthly safety report, Lieutenant
John Hoking reported an officer was injured
and a suspect shot after the suspect crashed a
car head-on into the officer’s service vehicle.
The suspect was injured when the officer
fired at him as he attempted to get away. The
investigation is ongoing.
On August 3 a man was arrested for vehicle
theft. The man was refused an oil change on a
car the proprietor believed stolen. The suspect
attempted to get away by stealing another car
on the premises.
The council agreed to continue two items,
regarding park development fees and the city’s
license agreement with the farmer’s market, until
next meeting. The remaining eleven Consent
items were passed with unanimous approval.
Public hearing was opened on two agenda
items. Lawndale’s congestion management
program (CMP) report was confirmed and
approved unanimously. The city’s disaster and
local hazard mitigation plans met with public
comments requesting plans specific to Lawndale.
Mayor Robert Pullen-Miles asked if a handsized emergency-preparedness guide could be
developed for the community. Councilman Jim
Osborne said that self-reliance is key in being
prepared, adding that stock-piling water and
food and keeping supplies refilled is vital.
The Council took action to enhance Veteran’s
Day observances in the city, approving funding
for a provisional installation on the library
lawn to honor local veterans on the upcoming
November 11 holiday. The $6500 budget was
approved unanimously and will cover staffing,
licensing agreements, and memorabilia and
supplies for the recognition event.
The Lawndale City Council will hold its next
meeting on Tuesday, September 6 as the first
Monday of the month falls on Labor Day. •

KEEPING IT LOCAL!
(BPT) - By now, we’ve all heard about
Brexit - the term used to describe Britain’s
exit from the European Union - and a serious
decision that will play a crucial role in the
overall health of the global economy for months
and possibly years to come. On the flip side,
there are some immediate affects that could
be great for your personal economic situation.
As the dust settles, consumers are set to
experience a unique economic landscape. Most
consumers, in one way or another, should
understand the impact Brexit is having on
their finances and assets. It isn’t all doom and
gloom - understanding how Brexit affects the
average consumer can give you an advantage.
Here are five areas you should pay attention
to following the Brexit.
Housing
U.S. mortgages rates are expected to remain
low, if not decrease slightly due to Brexit.
Uncertainty will drive lower rates with less
variance, creating a buyer’s market.
“Mortgage rates are likely to soon fall close
to the all-time lows that prevailed in late 2012,”
says Alan MacEachin, Navy Federal Credit
Union corporate economist. “Homeowners
should assess whether refinancing would
make sense for them.”
What’s more, prospective home buyers
should be aware of the lower costs for
financing their purchase. Since the housing
crisis, rates have been extremely low.
What this means for you: Own a home? See
if you can refinance your mortgage to a lower
rate. This could save you money over time.
Still renting but in the market for a new
home? Partner with a trusted lender to check
the rates. If you don’t have enough money
for a down payment, look into 100 percent
financing options, like the HomeBuyers Choice
mortgage from Navy Federal Credit Union.
You could get into your new home with no
money out of pocket.
Use Your Plastics
Make the most of Brexit-influenced pricing
by using your credit card as your primary
form of payment. When traveling, your card
will offer a better exchange rate than banks
or exchange kiosks.
However, “Make sure you’re using a credit
card that waives foreign transaction fees,” says
Randy Hopper, vice president of credit cards
at Navy Federal. “Otherwise, the advantages
of the exchange rate could be lost entirely.”
Hopper added that U.S. interest rates are
likely to stay lower for longer as a result of
Brexit, “meaning there’s a reduced likelihood
that the interest rate on most credit cards will
increase anytime soon.”
What this means for you: Use your credit
card when traveling overseas. To avoid
foreign transaction fees, choose a card from
a financial institution that doesn’t charge
them, like Navy Federal.
Ripe For Auto Loans
Consumers have something to celebrate
when it comes to auto loans. Considering the
average age of a used car is now at 11.4 years,
a new car that requires little maintenance,
combined with the low rate environment,
may prompt you to take a test drive on that
car you’ve been eyeing.
“The key factor here is that rates will remain
lower for longer. I expect auto sales to remain
high this year, considering rates consumers
are getting,” MacEachin said.
What this means for you: Do your research.
It may be time to upgrade your car, and there
has never been a better time to do it. Run the
numbers with a Car Affordability Calculator,
so you can see what impact rates have on your
monthly payments. Many financial institutions
also offer auto loan pre-approvals, so you can
shop with confidence.
Saving For Retirement
Consumers years away from retirement
have plenty of time to recover from any
losses Brexit may cause.
For those closer to retirement, it may be a
good time to check on your investments and
overall retirement plan. Form a solid plan of
action with your financial planner to safeguard
your investments from any market volatility.
What this means for you: This is a good
reminder for those saving for retirement to
check up on your investments. Your financial
planner will be able to provide advice that
matches your retirement plan and help
guide you through these times of economic
uncertainty.
Got The Travelbug?
This One’s For You!
Have you ever had the desire to visit the
UK? Now might be the time. The exchange
rate will decrease the cost of vacationing in
the UK, as everything from meals to hotels
to clothing will become more affordable.
British airline fares may also decline relative
to American carriers.
“The value of the British pound has dropped
sharply as a result of the Brexit vote, which
means the cost of a vacation in Britain would
be about ten percent cheaper than it would have
been just a few weeks ago,” MacEachin says.
If you are flying a British or European
carrier, be sure to check in with your airline
before flying. Following Brexit, there is some
uncertainty on how UK carriers will adjust.
What this means for you: London may be
calling, so check out your travel budget and
compare the pound to the U.S. dollar. Search
for hotels, airfare, and entertainment at lower
costs. Due to the low credit card rates, it may
also be a good time to check around for any
travel rewards cards.
Bottom line: The Brexit affect is only just
beginning and the long-term view is that it
could create some market volatility. But for
the immediate future, you can take advantage
of low rates on consumer loans, in addition to
credit card exchange rate, and travel prices.
The time is ripe for making moves,
especially if you’re buying or refinancing a
home, in the market for a new car, moving
to using credit cards, especially overseas, or
more specifically in the U.K. Cheers mate! •

I write to you from the lobby of
our Best Western Hotel in Valez,
Alaska. My dear wife and I have
spent the last week seeing the sights
in our 49th state. We decided to
do the trip on our own and not do
the “tour thing”. We have found
everything to be a little higher in
price up here. Not a lot of rental
cars, hotels or restaurants to choose from
so they cost about 50% more than what we
are used to paying down there in the “lower
48”. But it has been worth every penny.
They call this the last frontier and we can
see why. Wide open undeveloped land for
as far as you can see for hundreds of miles.
If everything is BIG in Texas, everything is
Giant in Alaska. The mountains are everywhere when you can see them through the
clouds. It has been sunny, drizzly, cloudy,
cool, warm and everything in between. With
700,000 residents, Alaska only has about
seven times the population of Hawthorne
but has 663,000 square miles in area for
its people to live in compared 5.5 for our
city. Alaska has twice the land compared
with Texas. Diving this vast state you see
God’s creation and not so much of man’s
footprint.
Travels
Remember the days when grandpa and
grandma would come home from a trip and
set up the slide projector in the living room
to show their travel pictures? There would
be slide after slide of beautiful scenery but
everyone would be dozing off while they
explained all the different places they visited.
I don’t wish to bore you with tales of our
travels. Since everyone has a cell phone
now, we can come home with literally
thousands of electronic images to share with
friends and family. I’ve learned that even
my own children are really not interested
in seeing their mother pose in front of one
of our national treasures. I will however
share that we were one of the lucky 30%
of visitors to Denali National Park that
actually got to see the tallest mountain in
North America, Mount Denali, “the Great
One”, which was known as Mount McKinley
up until last year when President Obama
and congress changed its name back to its

Wild life is all over here but if
you decide to come up here get
a good set of binoculars or a
good telescopic camera because
the bears, caribou, mountain
sheep, sea otters, sea lions, and
bald eagles are mostly a long

boat or shuttle bus. We did see
a couple of eager beavers cutting
down some tall trees right along one of our
hiking trails. I would say they were more
like loggers chewing through 12” diameter
trees with their teeth.
Valdez
In 1989, the Exxon Valdez, the giant oil
tanker, was placed on auto pilot carrying over
one million gallons of oil out of this village
after filling up here where the great Alaskan
pipe line ends. The ship’s captain did not
realize that his auto pilot was on when it
hit a shallow reef about 25 miles out in the
Prince William Sound. The cleanup from
the spill took years but there is no visible
environmental damage to be seen and the
US government has taken many steps to
prevent a spill from ever happening again.
The other event that Valdez is known for is
the 1964 Earthquake. It registered 9.2 on
the Richter Scale. It sent a tsunami down
the west coast of North America. I was
living in Crescent City, California when
that title wave wiped out the entire down
town of our small community on that fateful
Good Friday, March 24th, 1964. It was the
largest title wave ever to hit the continental
United States.
Hawthorne and the World
We met a young couple from Switzerland
on our glacier cruise ship yesterday and was
sitting having pizza and a “cold one” back in
a small “hole in the wall” here in Valez last
evening. A Beach Boys song came on and
I asked our new friends if they had heard of
SpaceX or Tesla in Switzerland. Not only
had they heard of Tesla and X but their father
had put money down to purchase a Tesla
car. They knew of Elon and Hawthorne.
Hawthorne IS world famous. (By the way,
the cold ones were pretty good. Even if the
weather is in the 60’s, damp and cloudy, a
cold one is always good.) •

Film Review
“Pete’s Dragon” is What a Family
Movie Should Be– Magical
By H. Nelson Tracey
for www.cinemacy.com
It’s a travesty that the description ‘family
movie’ has become categorically marooned by
studios and the public alike as a juvenile and
tasteless affair. Animated movies aside, the
subgenre is no longer seen for its potential:
to enrich the lives of all those who watch
it, provide a nourishing dose of spectacle to
the wide-eyed young audiences and sincere
delight to the parents and older folks who
accompany them.
“Pete’s Dragon,” now playing in theaters and
the latest of Disney’s live-action remakes, has
exactly the type of magic that’s been missing
from the big screen. Admittedly, I haven’t
seen the original version, one of Disney’s
less-branded properties, so I can only speak
to how the current film stands up. The title
is a reference to our protagonist, Pete (Oakes
Fegley), an orphaned boy who lives deep in
the woods, alone with the green dragon, and
for years has avoided human companionship.
I expected the film to wait a long time to
reveal the titular dragon as most movies would,
these characters make the story come alive
without lowering the bar. Time and time again
the film respects our intelligence as viewers
and develops with a certain grace that never
takes us out of the story. It’s amazing that
something simple and well-executed feels
like a marvelous revelation in this case and
I’m happy to have experienced it.
Impressively, the film avoids being easily diverted into overused tropes. From the
moment the protagonists are established as
loggers and rangers, I was waiting for the inevitable heavy-handed environmental message
that always feels hypocritical coming from a
major studio. As we learn more about Pete,
I was ready for a certain orphan backstory
that you’ll think has to be employed. But
the film is above all that, it never succumbs
to the on-the-nose mentality. Instead, these
themes of wilderness/nature and mankind’s
interference stay subdued knowing that within
the context, all audiences are mature enough
to understand what’s at stake.
Most of all, this is a beautiful story about
what it means to grow up, perhaps the perfect
How to Train with a T-Rex and Win 8 Gold Metals by Michael Phelps.
that is sure to catch your eye. This book is
sure to be an instant winner with sports fans
from age 4-10.
Second, Weatherford wrote the picture
book Jesse Owens Fastest Man Alive, as a
poetic tribute to Jesse Owens’ extraordinary
performance at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The
narrative flows smoothly and allows readers
to tag along with Owens on his journey from
America to Berlin, Germany in the hopes of
winning an Olympic medal. This is a time
when racial tension was high in Germany
due to the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party.
The text emphasizes this tension with lines
such as “Hitler does not want your kind here”
giving readers a look into the past and the
extra troubles Jesse had to face. The artwork
appears slightly grainy and is reminiscent
of old-time photographs. The illustrations
capture the feelings of movement, speed and
determination. At its heart though, this is an
uplifting story of triumph and a phenomenal

but instead he’s introduced and shown right
from the get-go, a nice device that reminds
us this is their story, not the story of the
outsider townspeople we will soon meet.
Yes, the dragon is shown early on, but its
enchantment continually grows as stakes are
raised. This introduction works as a way to
immediately put us on our protagonist’s side:
while the outsiders nearby don’t believe in
such creatures, we as an audience do.
These outsiders are a well-cast ensemble
of familiar actors, all living in small town

no-nonsense forest ranger who’s never seen
a dragon. Her fiancé Jack (Wes Bentley) and
brother-in-law Gavin (Karl Urban) are loggers
encroaching upon the forest. Oona Laurence
plays Jack’s daughter, Natalie, and continues
to prove herself as one of the greatest child
actors currently working, in this touching
supporting performance. Lastly, the legendary
Robert Redford plays Grace’s wise father,
Meacham, who reflects the movies wisdom
with a reverence that can only come from
cinema’s finest, in a role that likely was
tailor-made to fit to him.
Aside from Bentley’s character, who we
don’t get too much exposure to, this entire
ensemble shines in their respective roles,
and each one is given the opportunity to
grow as a character thanks to the adventure
they experience. There’s no need for crude
humor or pandering kid jokes, but instead
theme for the genre. There’s even a feeling
reminiscent of Room, one of last year’s finest entries, in the protagonist who similarly
enters society for the first time, and while
the rest of us can relate to the emotion of
holding onto the past while life changes so
fast, rarely can a movie so smoothly depict
this. It offers an easily comprehensible
storyline while also layering in meaningful themes to be understood differently by
the many age groups who may all relate to
varied experiences.
And on another note, only because I can
speak about it, the 3D in this movie provides
to noticeable enhancement, so it isn’t worth
the extra upcharge. The movie works great
by itself, and I invite moviegoers of all ages
and interests to experience this treat; check
your cynicism at the door and let the wonder
and magic take you as it did for me.
At a time when it feels like compassion
is being shortchanged in both the world at
large as well as my own personal experience, “Pete’s Dragon” is an adventurous and
triumphant return to those joyous feelings
that make the world feel like a better place.
Let this film serve as a benchmark for what
a family movie can and should be: an emotional embrace of heartwarming adventure
from start to finish.
“Pete’s Dragon” is rated PG for action,
peril, and brief language. 102 minutes. Now
playing in theaters nationwide. •

to a 26-19 lead midway in the third quarter.
Showtime took a 29-25 lead through three
periods. The final period saw the Lakeshow get
back on a run and finally took a 36-35 lead on

the rest of the game and was able to hold on

by edging the Avengers Saturday. Darrian Henry
scored 13 of the Lion Kings’ 14 points. Charles
Jess and Michael Sardia shared the Avengers’
high scoring honors with four points apiece.
Division I
Elite Hustle 9, Warriors 7
The Elite Hustle topped the Warriors in
a defensive battle in a Division I basketball
contest on Saturday. Ryan Hendra sparked the
Elite Hustle with four points. Darnell Carter II
led all scorers with six points for the Warriors.
It was the Elite Hustle’s first win as they are
1-7. The Warriors fell to 4-3.
Prep Football Nears
Hawthorne, Leuzinger and Inglewood’s football
teams begin their 2016 season on August 26. The
Cougars, who narrowly missed the CIF-Southern
Section Western Division playoffs last season,
kick off at home against La Canada beginning at
7 p.m. Last year, the Olympians also just missed
the Western Division playoffs despite a third
place finish in Pioneer League play. Leuzinger
returns most of its top players and received some
key transfers. The Olympians have hope but
they will have a tough opener at home against
Moore League power Lakewood, also starting
at 7 p.m. Inglewood hopes to improve from its
2-8 2015 slate as it starts against Los Angeles
City School Angelou at 7 p.m. at Coleman
Stadium. Morningside starts on September 1
at Coleman Stadium against L.A. City school
View Park Prep and Lawndale begins a day
later at home against South Torrance. Both of
these games also start at 7 p.m. •

Ways Americans Unite To Help One Another
(BPT) - It seems as though there’s a lot
of disagreement in our country these days.
Political parties not only argue with each
other, but they also fight within their ranks.
Turn on the news and bickering is everywhere.
Click on any internet story and you’ll read
through pages of angry comments.
Despite all the noise, however, Americans
truly are more united than divided. And
one of the issues that unites all kinds of
Americans is supporting our veterans. In
fact, it’s part of a long tradition that goes
back to the founding fathers, and there are
plenty of ways you can reach out and show
your appreciation as well.
A tradition of honoring heroism. In 1782,
George Washington issued orders to honor
soldiers who showed exceptional distinction by
awarding them the Badge of Military Merit.
Now called the Purple Heart, it’s given to
men and women in uniform who have been
injured or killed in combat or captivity. As the
oldest medal currently in use, over 1.7 million
have received the honor. Ordinary people

representatives to enact The Returning Hero’s
Tax Credit, which gives companies incentives
to hire vets. As a result, the unemployment
rate among veterans has been halved.
Helping vets tell their story. A highly
effective way to help vets reconnect with
people and get a hold of the confusing
emotions they experience when coming home
is to allow them to tell their story. Many
organizations, colleges and community groups
have set up programs that teach veterans the
skills they need to find their voice and tell
their story.
Professionals volunteering their time. All
wondering how they can help, thousands of
professionals such as lawyers, accountants
and career coaches have reached out to
volunteer their time. Because free legal
and financial advice is invaluable to help
veterans navigate the world they return to,
this kind of assistance is incredibly important.
Inspired by the outpouring of support,
many Americans wonder what they can
do to help. Veterans organizations like the
Purple Heart Foundation provide emotional,
physical, educational and financial support
for veterans and their families. In addition,
the Purple Heart Foundation gives people
the opportunity to volunteer, donate their
vehicles or household items, or make cash
contributions as a way of thanking veterans
for the sacrifice they made. To learn more,

Lucy is a super sweet, adorable kitten. She
loves to sit next to you and purr. Lucy enjoys
playing with all sorts of toys including
feathers, balls and track balls. Wrestling and
running around with other cats is one of her
favorite activities. After Lucy is worn out,
she’ll come sleep with you and show off
her belly so that you will rub it. With her
energetic personality, she definitely needs
to be in a home with other kitties. Lorelai was discovered on the loading
dock of a grocery store with her mother and
four siblings when she was four weeks old.
She is a lovely tortie kitten with a strikingly
beautiful face, and is sweet and playful too!
Lorelai would love to be adopted with one
of her siblings; a brown tabby brother, a
black brother, an orange tabby sister or a
buff tabby sister. Lorelai is a mini version
of their tortie mom who is very sweet and
also available for adoption. There is a mellow
dog and other cats in her foster household
and Lorelai co-exists nicely with everyone.
Piper is about as sweet and petite as they
come. She is super friendly and affectionate,
and gets along great with other cats and
children. Her previous owner never took
great care of her, and she got pregnant at
Lucy
just four months old. He got divorced and
decided he didn’t want poor Piper anymore,
so he kicked her out onto the street (where
lots of coyotes live)! Piper is a tiny girl
weighing only 7 pounds full grown. People
say she looks like a cute little kitten and
we expect she will look like a little kitten
for the rest of her life. Gabriel was found as a stray on the
street when he followed neighborhood
children home. He is a very sweet, friendly,
affectionate young cat. At some point, Gabriel
must have been part of someone’s family
because he loves the comfort and security
of the indoors and affection of humans. He
is very clean, uses the little box always and
is respectful of house rules. Gabe is a couch
potato most of the day, but has a playful and
curious side to him. He wants to socialize
with other cats and needs practice doing so
with a confident cat friend.
Yes, Edith and her five siblings were
named after the Downtown Abbey characters.
Edith is puzzled why she was named after
the loser sister. Edith is the bomb. She is
sassy, independent and outgoing, and also
a big love. Edith especially loves men that
wear Aramis; she could nuzzle in their arms
for hours. She can be a bit of a flirt and
just really loves people and enjoys being
held and loved. Edith is the only one of
her siblings that fell in love with the dog
in their foster home. She is still learning
and growing, so if you want a lot of love
and adventure, check her out.
Cora is a tiny girl with a big heart. She
was a bottle fed “Kitten Rescue Nursery”
baby along with her five amazing siblings.
Her foster mom says that made them extra
special and lovey. Cora is very curious and
loves to play with her brothers and sisters.
Her favorite playtime activity is chasing a
ball through the great box tunnel that came
in the mail from Amazon. Of course this
activity is most fun when her brother and
sister play with her. She also likes climbing
to the highest safe spot she can find to rest,
so Cora likes to imagine she is a tree dweller.
At her age, Cora needs to be adopted with
her brother Matthew or sister Edith or into
a home with another young cat.
Matthew love, love, loves people and
has been told that he is the most lovey of
his siblings. He likes to play, run, jump and
do all the normal things a little boy does,
On Saturdays, we have adoptions from
noon to 3:30 p.m. in Westchester at 8655
Lincoln Blvd. just south of Manchester Ave.
and also in Mar Vista at 3860 Centinela
Ave, just south of Venice Boulevard. Our
website lists additional adoption sites and
directions to each location. •
Gabriel
Cora
but his favorite thing to do is to climb up
in your arms and be held. Please stroke his
cheeks, the top of his head, ears and nose,
Matthew will then love you forever. This
also usually makes him fall asleep, where
he will be happy to stay for quite a while.
He also enjoys when you play together with
toys…feathers, balls, and any other toys you
want to buy him. So if you want a lover boy
kitty, he’s your man (or for now your boy).
These cats and kittens are available for
adoption through Kitten Rescue, one of
the largest cat rescue groups in Southern
California. All of our kitties are spayed/
neutered, microchipped, tested for FeLV
and FIV, dewormed and current on their
vaccinations. For additional information and
to see our other kitties, please check our
website www.kittenrescue.org or email us at
[email protected]. Your tax deductible
donations for the rescue and care of our
cats and kittens can be made through our
website or by sending a check payable to
Kitten Rescue, 914 Westwood Blvd. #583,
Los Angeles, CA 90024.
