Everything you want to know about rabbits – right here at the Ukiah Rainbow store on Sunday, May 19. Entirely organized by local 4H Members, there will be over 15 rabbits! Learn about rabbit showmanship, breeding information, judging lessons, silent auction and prizes. This is an excellent introduction to 4H Rabbits. This is a very popular event, especially for kids, so hop on down and discover the fun of raising rabbits!
Spring means, it’s Kitten Season! What should you do if you find underage kittens? How do you know if they are abandoned, or if the mother is just hiding nearby? Who can care for them (the shelters are overflowing already) and what do you need to care for them? Check out this comprehensive article, courtesy of Alley Cat Allies, about how to tell if the kittens actually need rescuing and if so, what to do. If you are prepared to care for orphaned kittens, you can find the supplies you need – kitten milk replacer, bottles, canned kitten food, beds and crates – right at your local Rainbow store.
Don’t forget to add a few of these supplies to the donation bins at Rainbow, for our local shelters and rescue programs. Many of them support fostering orphan kittens and they always need milk replacer and bottles.
Weeds are growing and we are mowing.
