A Southern California Favorite that Serves
Breakfast All Day Long in Our City of Lawndale
In 1965, less than 20 years after immigrating from Greece to America, John Haretakis founded Spires Restaurants. Ever since then, Spires Restaurants has been part of the history of Southern California. His vision was simple: make good food easy to find. John built the
first Spires on the corner of Euclid and Ball in Anaheim. The iconic shape of his buildings satisfied part of the recipe, the restaurants are easy to find. Besides the unique design and great locations, the buildings’s “Spire” shape inspired the name itself. Over 50 years later,
we honor his memory by continuing to serve the community with fresh food made from scratch. Please support our local businesses. Photo courtesy Spires Restaurants.

petting. He likes to play with toys and other
cats and snuggles in the bed some nights.

Kiwi is a friendly, affectionate, curious
kitty who has not met a stranger he did not
like. Kiwi has all the ingredients for the ideal
kitty companion. He is a lap cat who likes
to cuddle and is playful without the chaotic
energy of a young kitten. Kiwi spends his
days napping, playing with his cat toys and
wrestling with his foster siblings. He spends
his nights cuddled up beside his foster mom.
Kiwi is very social with people and cats alike,
so he needs to be adopted together with one
of his foster siblings or into a home with
Ring in the New Year with the purr-fect
partner for 2022. When you adopt, you save
a life… and in turn enrich your own.
Sabrina is a beautiful fun-loving spirit

and does need to have another cat or kitten
in her forever home. She lives at the Kitten
Rescue Adoption Center with her sister and
several of her friends. If you do not have a
cat already to be Sabrina’s buddy, you can
adopt one of her friends with her!

is looking for parents who will spoil and love
her unconditionally.

with cats, kids, and adults. Wedge might be
shy at the beginning and hide in a closet or
under the bed for the couple days. Then he
will warm up and get close for a nice warm
