Winter Classes

Cat Tales - Winter 2026

Looking for a way to get your child to read more? We might have the answer.  How about having your child read to our cats? Not only will it help your child, but this program helps the cats become a little more socialized and gives them a chance to get some TLC in the process.

The Cat Tales Program will meet every Wednesday for 45 mins. We will start on Wednesday, January 7th and meet every Wednesday until March 18th.  Class will start at 3:30 and end at 4:15. During that time we will begin with a whole group read and then have the children find a spot in our Cattery and start reading. The last five minutes will be time to play with the kittens.  We ask that the children be in grades K-5.  

The program is limited to 12 children, and we ask for a donation of $110.00 (11 sessions) to have your child participate.

Barks & Books - Winter 2026

Looking for a way to get your child to read more? We might have the answer.  How about having your child read to our therapy dogs?  This canine-assisted read aloud program is a class where children read aloud to a trained therapy dog.  The dog is a patient listener who offers unconditional love and acceptance, allowing your child to practice reading aloud without fear or criticism.  

Barks and Books will meet every Tuesday for 45 mins. We will start on Tuesday, January 6th and meet every Tuesday until March 17th.  Class will start at 3:30 pm and end at 4:15 pm. During that time we will begin with a whole group read and then have the children find a spot in our Humane Education room and start reading to our therapy dogs. The last five minutes will be time to play with the kittens.  We ask that the children be in K- 5th grade.

The program is limited to 12 children, and we ask for a donation of $110.00 (11 sessions) to have your child participate.
