The dog entrance will be at 4155 Cherry Ave., Friends of Felines’ former thrift store, and the cat entrance will be at 4157 Cherry Ave., the rescue’s adoption center.

All dogs need to arrive on a leash or inside a secure carrier, and cats must come in a secure carrier. Cardboard carriers can also be bought at the clinic for $8.
