Your Afternoon Animal Fix – AdoPtville

If you have any animal/pet photos you’d like to share for the regular fix please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say the name of your pet and your neighborhood. AdoPtville is run by two volunteers who compile these pets weekly from local shelters.

KitKat may be sweet, but she’s also known for having strong opinions about what she likes and what she doesn’t. And perhaps she’s a diva…but in this day and age, a girl’s got to look out for herself, right?! KitKat has a fondness for her humans, and if you turn out to be one of them, you will be rewarded with lots of purring, playing, and endless chattering on a variety of subjects. In return, she will expect the spot next to you on the couch or the bed to be reserved for her at all times. Also? You should close your laptop immediately when she gives you the signal to commence playtime. KitKat will greet you at the door when you come home so that she can provide a full report about her day, and maybe hear just a little bit about yours. She will expect treats on demand, and if she’s in the mood, some snuggles. KitKat will expect to be the only pet in your home – it just takes too long to get other cats up to speed on her house rules (and don’t get her started about dogs!). Please understand: it has taken KitKat her entire 7-year career as a cat to achieve diva status, so she will also need a firm commitment from you that you will never tell anyone else that she is actually a total lovebug. If you’d like to meet KitKat, please contact her human staff at [email protected]. You can also follow KitKat’s adventures on Instagram @dcfosterlove.

Meet Louie, known affectionately in his foster family as “Uncle Louie”! Louie is a senior pup who was surrendered when his family moved away. The shelter was too scary for this gentleman, so he’s now living with a wonderful foster family, where he gets along with: kids, dogs, cats, and rabbits! Louie is clearly a Renaissance man – now all he needs is a forever home, where he can enjoy his golden years! Louie is about 12 or 13 years old, and is a Chihuahua / Terrier mix. He weighs about 11 pounds, but could stand to gain a pound or two. Louie’s in good health and spry, and is incredibly sweet and laid back. He enjoys laying in the sunshine, getting along with and watching all his friends play, and getting snuggles on the couch! This handsome dude hasn’t had an easy few months, but he remains a loving guy who just wants a loving home. Find out more about adopting this sweet senior here.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!

Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.

Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
