Pets of the Week: Jack & Ringo
Beautiful Balinese Jack. Photo by Southern California Siamese Rescue
Jack is a sweet beautiful Balinese boy. Balinese are a long-haired version of Siamese. He is fluffy and so very soft —he is a joy to pet. He loves to have his head rubbed and has the funniest meow when he is hungry. He would do best in a quiet household where he can get lots of attention, preferably a home without male cats. He is 3 years old and declawed.
Jack is available from the Southern California Siamese Rescue, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit group. They do not have a shelter - all of their cats are fostered in private homes and can be viewed here.

Ringo is a 6-year-old neutered male Maltipoo. He is super friendly and loves affection. He gets along well with everyone he meets—people, young and old, and dogs alike. Ringo is a playful, outgoing and good-natured little pup who's looking for the perfect new home to call his own. He is a special needs doggie with well-managed epilepsy and dry eye. He has no issues taking his medicine. He is neutered and house trained with current vaccines. He is a wonderful and sweet dog.CageFree K-9 Rescue Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit no-kill all-breed dog rescue group located in Los Angeles dedicated to finding great homes for great dogs. The majority of our rescues come from the many Los Angeles animal shelters and are screened for temperament and sociability. Contact CageFree to meet Ringo.
