Pets of the Week: Kittens Max and Lucy, and a White Husky Named Snow

Max and Lucy were rescued from a foreclosed home and are now looking for a new family. They are about 4 months old, vaccinated, spay/neutered, microchipped, and socialized. Lucy (black and white) is very shy at first but once she trusts you she is extremely loving and wants to sit in your lap. She likes to relax in the garden on sunny days. Lucy is curious and quiet; she has a very soft meow. She likes affection and to sleep near you at night. She will be your best friend forever! She would prefer a canine free home — big doggies are too much for her! She is very close to her siblings, especially her brother Max.
Max (black) is the boldest of his four siblings. He is an excellent explorer, who likes to climb trees and run fast. He loves to chase string and will carry balls of yarn to his bed. Max is very loving and affectionate and likes to be held and cuddled. Max, too, has a quiet meow and loves to sleep on your bed at night.
Max and Lucy are currently being cared for by the Echo Park Animal Alliance. The Echo Park Animal Alliance is a grass-roots alliance of neighbors and animal lovers committed to helping people help animals in need within the Echo Park Community. The Echo Park Animal Alliance is having its annual fundraiser this Saturday from 12p-5p and Sunday from 12p-6p at 1850 Echo Park Avenue to raise funds for spay/neuter programming and outreach.

Support for LAist comes from
I'm looking for a loving home, is it yours? Photo by Pasadena Humane
This is Snow (A298137), a 4-year-old white Siberian Husky. She can be a bit shy so a loving and attentive family would be best. A nurturing environment would give her the boost of confidence she needs to blossom. She is ready to go to a loving family today! She has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Snow is available at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is an independent, donor-supported, non-profit agency that provides animal care for abandoned and homeless animals.
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.
