Winter Classes
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, January 6th and meet every Monday until April 14th. No session on January 20thth, February 17th and March 31st. 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 1st, 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.
