Urban Unrest

30 November 2007 | Pacifica | Ernesto Aguilar

Many folks know I’m an animal lover. I’ve had my adored ball python, Kiwi, for over 15 years, and I grew up with a variety of pets — from dogs to cats to birds (including parrots, chickens and ducks), turtles and hamsters. This Sunday, I’ll be doing something fun to help a good organization raise needed funds, and you’re invited to stop by.

Adopt A Cat rehabilitates sick and injured cats and seeks homes for many more. The grassroots organization is raising money for homeless cats by hosting Santa photos at local Petsmart stores on Kirby and on Old Katy Road. Santa will take pictures with your pet or your child, and the ten bucks you pay will help support Adopt A Cat’s important work.

And guess who will be Santa on Sunday, Dec. 2? If you said me, you guessed right!

In a moment that is sure to end up on the Internet, yours truly will indeed be Saint Nick at the Petsmart on Kirby and Main (that’s 8230 Kirby Drive for you Google Mappers) from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Bring your dog, cat or just yourself (KPFT paraphernalia optional) on by and I’ll be happy to take pictures with you or them. I’m probably Houston’s only snake-friendly Santa, so you can bring reptiles by too. Proceeds will benefit Adopt A Cat, and it should be very fun!
