BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Cat lovers and readers can now enjoy the best of both worlds
with the new "Tails and Tales" program, a joint initiative of Broward County Animal
Care and Broward County
Libraries, taking place Tuesdays through Sundays from 11AM to 5:30PM at 2400
SW 42nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, 954-359-1313.
"We are so excited about our new "Tails and Tales" program!
It's a unique way for our visitors to interact with our friendly felines and
take some time out to relax," said Emily Wood, Director of Broward County Animal
Care and Adoption. "In addition, our cats get to enjoy some quality interaction
with guests, which may ultimately lead to an adoption."
The fun begins in Animal Care's Cat Mall section of the
shelter, with four rooms of affectionate, cuddly, free-roaming cats in search
of a lap. Colorful "Tails and Tales" posters feature special QR Codes for the
Library's Instant
eCard registration. An eCard number will be emailed on-the-spot, giving permanent,
free access to thousands of digital books, magazines and movies.
"We are thrilled to partner with Broward County Animal Care
for this delightful program," said Jill Sears, Broward County Library Assistant
Director. "This is a perfect, pleasurable way to enjoy the latest book,
magazine or movie while giving affection to a lonely animal. We are happy to
extend our library services at Animal Care to caring, cat-loving residents."

and agencies to build a community dedicated to keeping pets out of the shelter
and properly cared for in their homes and neighborhoods. 2. Equitable Services:
We believe in remaining committed to the animal care needs and perspectives of
the diverse communities we proudly serve and aligning our services with their
needs; 3. Public Safety: We believe in addressing human-animal conflicts,
including protecting residents from pet-related disease and physical harm from unsafe
pets, and 4. Shelter Operation Focus: We believe in operating our Adoption
Center professionally and providing a world-class shelter experience for pets
and people alike,, particularly for dogs and cats who are most vulnerable and
in need. For more information about Animal
