Pet of the Week

Franchesca is a lovely adult female tabby cat who is looking for that special home to love her forever. She has a super-friendly personality and loves to cuddle. If you have other animals, she is really good at playing nice in the litter box; the more friends, the better! She is always a very happy cat that has that "middle of the road" personality. She doesn't follow you around and jump on you seeking attention; nor does she hide and ignore people. She is very easy-going, and will come and say "hi, how are you?" and see if you want to pet her or snuggle. If you do, that's great! If not, she knows she'll see you when you do. If you would like more info, call Star of the North during adoption hours on Mon., Thurs. from 5-7 or Wed, Sat from 12-3. E-mail adoptions@starnorth.org for the application - or look under the forms section on the website www.starnorth.org where you can also view all animals available for adoption. You can call the shelter for more information at 218-245-3732.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS TO KNOW
KAXE would like to thank all our business underwriters for their strong support. These businesses understand the value of having their name associated with KAXE. Why? Because KAXE members support the businesses that support KAXE. They will sometimes drive 50 miles to buy something at a business that supports KAXE versus going across the street to one that doesn't. Will you provide us with a name of a business you think should underwrite/support on KAXE?
