Hearts, flowers, candy and a little catnip: Neighborhood cat-rescue collective shares the love on Valentine's Day • Long Beach Post News

I’d be remiss as a pet columnist if I didn’t post a Valentines-themed adoption article. Adopting a pet always has love at its source, but sprinkling photos of adoptables with hearts, red paws and other little visual nonpareils brings the point home and could help bring the pet home as well.
For this week’s adoptables, I decided to get as personal and down-home as possible, so I accessed a neighborhood group. The historic Wrigley area is one of the oldest neighborhoods in town and also one of the most neighborhoodly. The area forms a polygon whose borders comprise the 405 Freeway, the Metro Blue Line, Long Beach Boulevard, Pacific Coast Highway, and the Los Angeles River. Wrigley has its own homegrown Christmas parade; lovely dwellings, many of which were built in the 1920s and 1930s; and a private Facebook group for residents to express and exchange ideas about sustaining their neighborhood’s character and livableness.

There was something about Panda that got to everyone at the shelter. If I had another room in my house, I’d have taken him home we figured that there were tender hearts that would beat the same way, and someone would come for him.
