Furry Friday & The Lion King!


This week with Furry Friday: 1. Below you will see an adorable adoptable from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa.  2. You have a chance to win!  During March, it’s all cats because you have a chance to win tickets to “Disney’s The Lion King” brought to you by Des Moines Performing Arts.

For Friday March 27th:

It’s Gracie!  I picked Gracie because of her impressive markings on her face and body.  She’s gorgeous and clearly is looking for a great family.  Here is more from the ARL:

Gracie“Gracie is an inquisitive, outgoing kitty who will greet you with a head bump and leg rub. She will purr with contentment and enjoys rubbing her chin on whatever she can find. Her tail is fun to watch because she swings it to and fro as she walks. Gracie will be a great addition to a loving family.”

Please, consider adopting Maggie or one of the other wonderful “Lions” at the ARL.   And good luck on winning tickets to the show – HERE!
