Shopping Fair To Benefit Cat-Rescue Efforts By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“We’re partnering to get cats adopted,” Pet Pantry of Lancaster County executive director Melody Sanders said of her organization’s collaboration with Furever Home Adoption Center. “We put the animals first, and we try to figure out the rest afterward.” Until recently, that partnership has primarily involved working to ensure that rescued or surrendered cats receive the medical care and safe homes they need. Furever Home operates a feline sanctuary and adoption center at 5984 Main St., East Petersburg, while the Pet Pantry, headquartered at 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster, cares for cats and other animals, offers low-cost vaccinations and spay/neuter services, and supplies pet food for households experiencing financial
distress. The Pet Pantry’s veterinarians have been able to treat illnesses and injuries in cats taken in by Furever Home, and Furever Home has cared for felines accepted by the Pet Pantry that do better in a cage-free environment where they can socialize with other animals. The two organizations also share volunteers. Now, the Pet Pantry has signed on to help with hosting Furever Home’s fourth annual summer shopping fair. “This is a way for us to support (Furever Home),” Sanders said. “This shows our staff members and volunteers working together. The community needs to see organizations working together to better the lives of animals in Lancaster County.” The shopping fair will be held at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 21.

Program To Discuss Publishing Process LCAA To Host Festive Exhibit Kickoff With the invention of electronic books and the introduction of tools to self-publish printed tomes, it has become easier than ever for writers to become published authors. The publication process will be the subject of a new program, “Telling Stories: From Idea to Publication,” offered by Quarryville Library, 357 Buck Road, Quarryville. “I came up with the idea of having an author present a three-part writing series that would cover from the time you have an idea to having the book published,” said library director Sylvia Drennen, who explained that she developed the program with “Banebringer” author Carol A. Park. “She was here for Author’s Night, and during some of our communication she expressed how she enjoys talking about
