Saving one animal won’t change the world, but
the world will surely change for that animal. •
Purrrfect Companions
Moosh Stallion
Every second of every minute of every daY,
a helpless animal is put to death just because
no one was there to take them home. Saving
one animal may not change the world, but it
will change the world for that animal
Give one of these kitties a second chance
for a lifetime of love in a new forever home
with you.
Alani and Stallion are bonded brother and
sister siblings. They are quite the little pair
together, wrestling and chasing one another
from one end of the room to the other and
then up the cat tree and back down again.
Once they have played and wrestled to their
heart’s content, they curl up together and
take a long nap. Alani is a sassy little Tortie
with Tortitude. She is funny, spunky, playful
and athletic. She likes to be petted when you
have earned her trust. She is not skittish. She
just wants to know you are worthy of petting
her gloriously beautiful fur coat. Stallion got
his name because he is sleek and lean like a
black stallion horse. He is the more cuddly
and affectionate sibling. He absolutely refuses
to be ignored and is like a heat-seeking missile
when it comes to finding a warm lap to
lie on and a warm body to lie beside. He is
the coolest, chillest kitty on the planet. Come
meet Stallion and Alani and see for yourself
what curious, fun, entertaining kitties they are.
Q is a beautiful brown tabby boy. He and
his siblings were abandoned when they were
kittens. When he was rescued, he was a little
nervous with people. Once he got to know his
foster family, Q became a friendly and sweet
kitty. He loves being petted and brushed (and
lint-rollered!). He will show his tummy to ask
you for pet and play. Q loves playing with toys
and with other cats. He is very active and playful,
so he will be a perfect friend for your cat.
Moosh is not only devilishly handsome, but
his personality is a treat that can’t be beat.
He is confident, smart, curious, attentive and
probably just a little bit dog in a big cat’s
clothing. Moosh would love to be adopted by
someone who has an excellent sense of humor.
His hidden talent is jumping 3-plus-feet into
the air to catch real and imaginary bugs and
toys. Moosh doesn’t necessarily need another
cat around for company, but he has been with
others his whole life and would be fine with
a couple of other feline companions. Sadly,
sometimes black cats don’t find homes right
away and Moosh is waiting for a home with you.
Trevi is a sweet and extremely active kitten.
He absolutely loves people and wants to play
with them or snuggle with them. Treevi will
sleep with you and purr the night away. He also
has a ton of energy checking everything out,
chasing toys and wrestling with other kitties.
He enjoys watching TV and will sit and stare at
the screen. Trevi does need to be adopted into
a home with other kitties and a person who is
at home, as he can’t bear to be without people.
Violet Gray is a dainty little precious angel
who loves to be held and petted so she can purr
in your arms. Quirky and playful, Violet is also
super smart. She loves people and will roll over
for belly rubs once she gets to know and trust
you. Her favorite thing is to rest huddled against
your chest to sleep and purr. Violet gets along
with other cats and kittens as well as humans.
Due to her age and energetic nature, she needs
another young playful cat (under 5 years old)
or kitten in her new home. She is more bonded
to her siblings than most kittens and would
love to be adopted with one or more of them.
These kitties are available for adoption
through Kitten Rescue, one of the largest cat
rescue groups in Southern California. All our
kitties are spayed/neutered, microchipped, tested

Next on the agenda were “from the public”
comments to the Board. Normally these comments
are limited to a total of 20 minutes, with individual
speakers asked to condense their musings
to three minutes or less. Thursday night’s
meeting, however, featured multiple groups
of speakers -- with topics including the benefits
of ultimate frisbee and trying to secure
space for such endeavors; Da Vinci dress
codes; a better social comingling of students
who attend the three Da Vinci schools; the
possibility of a tutoring program involving
elementary school students and high school
mentors; challenges with the ongoing Child
Development Program, which has recently had
the full-day Pre-K program at Anza continued
for the 2018/19 school year; support of the
hoped-for passing of Measure W, which local
voters faced on June 5; the perceived lack
of baseball/softball fields in the district; the
need, in the speaker opinions, to continue to
upgrade high school sports programs; and the
SAT and ACT preparation currently available
to high schoolers.
Board President JoAnne Kaneda thanked all
the members of the public who spoke for nearly
40 minutes about their concerns and praised
them for “using your voice to speak to us.”
Board member Israel Mora, who also serves
on the Da Vinci School Board, noted to the
student speaker that “there is a Da Vinci board”
that they should probably go to first to raise
their concerns regarding the high school.
The Board next gave their reports, with the
overwhelming theme being appreciation of the
members of the public who took the time to
speak last. The group also lauded the selection
of Lisa Wilberg to become the new assistant
principal at Dana, as well as the positive
trajectory of education in Wiseburn. Kaneda
added her thoughts, saying that “what we do
in Wiseburn is we teach them how to think.”
As the District winds down the school year,
items on the June calendar include dissecting
the results of the Tuesday evening school
bond vote, yesterday’s Concert on the Green;
Da Vinci graduations on June 12, as well as
School Board meetings on June 14 and 26 and
the Dana graduation ceremony on June 14.
Action items tackled Thursday night primarily
revolved around construction projects
for facilities surfacing and striping at District
schools, and the ever-present soil issues still
being managed at Wiseburn High acreage on
Douglas Street. District Director, Facilities
Planning Vince Madsen gave a positive report,
noting the ongoing challenges dealing with the
grading and the pesky dirt issues at the new
high school as construction continues full-bore
on the aquatics center, gym and soccer field.
Representatives of Balfour Beatty and
Sharefest presented a $1,000 scholarship to
Da Vinci Design student Donell Tinsley, who
will be attending Cal Poly Pomona to study
architecture. Balfour Beatty, which is managing
the ongoing construction project at the high
school, partners with Sharefest -- a non-profit
organization that specializes in community
beautification projects -- to spruce up school
facilities. They also provide grant scholarships
to worthy recipients. Tinsley’s father attended
the meeting and said that “this is a very special
school district. You folks do a great job here.
I truly appreciate all of you.” •
