Pets of the Week: Juliette and Veronica
Isn't she lovely? Photos by Much Love
()
Juliette is a lover who is soft spoken and sweet. She is an adult kitty and only weighs about 10 lbs. She wags her tail like a dog and although she's not a lap cat she loves to be near you, particularly when sleeping. Juliette likes other cats but is not particularly playful, though when the mood strikes her, she likes to play by herself. The rest of the time she asks for head rubs and smiles with her warm loving eyes. Could you be her Romeo?

Is it me you're looking for?
Veronica is a lovely, wonderful, adorable, easy Jack Russel Terrier mix who needs a forever home. She is a nice dog with a medium energy level who gets along with everyone, even cats. She may find over-attentive dogs and small children too much for her. If you want a little buddy to keep you company around the house, Veronica is your girl. She may appear a bit aloof, but once she gets to know you, her adorable stubby little tail will wag, especially if you have a treat for her! She has a few medical issues that are easily maintained with medications. Veronica has received the best veterinarian care and is thriving. Please come meet her and give her a chance, she is very special!Juliette and Veronica are available through Much Love Animal Rescue. Much Love Animal Rescue exists to rescue abused, neglected and homeless animals from the streets and shelters of Los Angeles and place them in loving homes. Much Love holds mobile adoptions every Saturday from 10:30am-3:00pm on the corner of Venice and Abbot Kinney. For more mobile adoption dates, check the Much Love website.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
