Tail-waggers
Mary Jane is a beautiful terrier mix weighing in at 5.5 pounds. She’s 41⁄2 months old. She has been de-wormed, spayed and microchipped, and her vaccinations are current.
Mary Jane and her sisters are smart puppies and eager to learn. Mary Jane is very curious, loves to explore and is always looking for something to do. She loves to run, jump and play, but her favorite activity is playing with her siblings. She is vocal and will make a good watch dog. Mary Jane and her sisters Sassy and Claire love to play with toys, especially tug of war, and enjoy being held.
Mary Jane and her siblings would fit well in a home with other dogs or cats and older kids. They will be wonderful companions. Photography compliments of 4PawsPetPhotography.

••• Jersey and her kitten Rarity were discovered by a Second Chance Kitty volunteer and an acquaintance on the streets of Sacramento when Rarity was three weeks old. The pair were taken in by a volunteer, who let Jersey leave their garage, only for her to disappear. Neighbors bottle-fed Rarity until the mother cat was found several days later. Mother and kitten had a happy reunion — Jersey took to her baby instantly even though days had passed since they had last been together.
Jersey is sweet and Rarity is an adventurous baby boy. Rarity has beautiful markings and he is a joy to have around. He and his momma are a happy family. Jersey can be apprehensive of humans, and is looking for a family she can count on in the good times and bad, through moves and family stresses. Both cats are a 15- to 20-year commitment of love, litter boxes, cat hair and scratchy tongue kisses.
Like all Second Chance Kitty cats, Jersey and Rarity are strictly indoor only. Jersey is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead and FeLV/FIV negative.
Second Chance Kitty is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to helping cats, kittens and the occasional dog escape a life of abandonment, abuse and neglect. Interested parties may call the adoption coordinator at 209-817-3030, visit our Facebook page at Second Chance Kitty, or email
