Cat Tales - Mondays

Looking for a way to get your child to read more? We might have the answer.  How about having your child read to our cats? Not only will it help your child, but this program helps the cats become a little more socialized and gives them a chance to get some TLC in the process.

The Cat Tales Program will meet every Monday for 45 mins. We will start on Monday, February 5th and meet every Monday until May 20th. No session on February 19th and March 25th. Class will start at 3:30 and end at 4:15. During that time we will begin with a whole group read and then have the children find a spot in our Cattery and start reading. The last five minutes will be time to play with the kittens.  We ask that the children be in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th grade.

The program is limited to 12 children, and we ask for a donation of $100.00 to have your child participate.
