In celebration of National Kids and Pets Day, El Paso Animal Services is partnering with Petco Love to inspire local children to share their love with shelter pets through volunteering. El Paso Animal Services will be hosting an event Saturday, April 23 to promote the Department’s ‘Kitty Reading Book Club’ volunteer reading program for young animal lovers.
At this event, El Paso Animal Services will be presenting a reading of Tony and Emmy award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth’s new book, “What Will I Do With My Love Today,” which advocates pet adoption and the power of love and kindness. A cat toy workshop will also be presented, as well as more information on the department’s Kitty Reading Book Club. Children will end the event by reading to our adoptable cats and kittens.
El Paso Animal Services and Petco Love will also be giving away limited free copies of this book to the first 10 children that attend the event.
Parents of little animal lovers can learn more about El Paso Animal Services “Read and Share Your Love” events by visiting www.ElPasoAnimalServices.org/calendar. If they cannot attend, parents can still learn more about joining the Kitty Reading Book Club program by contacting EPASvolunteer@elpasotexas.gov.
*This event is held at the Cats At The Zoo Adoption Center & Pet Encounter- which is located inside the El Paso Zoo and Botanical Gardens and is subject to entrance fees.*
