Pet of the Week: Hoppity

There's a heart of gold under all the pretty fur.

Welcome to Encinitas Patch Pet of the Week.

Each week, Encinitas Patch works with the to feature a pet in need of a loving home.

This week meet Hoppity, a big fur-ball that needs a comfy house and a warm lap. 

  • Name: Hoppity
  • Type of animal: Cat
  • Age: 4 years
  • Weight: 11 pounds
  • Gender: Male, neutered
  • Breed: Norwegian Forest Cat - mix

Hoppity has bright golden eyes, a little bit of red on his nose, and long white whiskers. He's very handsome, but most people think his most outstanding feature is his paws, as they are exceptionally large.

At first Hoppity comes off as an introvert, but don't let his initial shyness fool you: Hoppity warms up quickly. Just let him sit on your lap while you brush him and you'll be friends for life.

Hoppity can be your only cat, or he would do well living with a kitty friend. His adoption fee of $125 each includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and microchip identification. 

For more information about Hoppity (and Hippity) and other dogs, cats, and rabbits that need families call 760-753-6413, log on to SDpets.org, or visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas. Kennels are open Wednesday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

'Jac', If you decide to actually argue the ERA, instead of denigrating "Republican's" asRead More bogeyman in your canard... please feel free to reprint part of my original reply for argumentum you wish to kite. In the new Patch, my quiet protest to the new site is not respecting continuity as I did before... by deletion whenever I choose. It is my hope, you get updates to your musings and you are fast enough to cut 'n paste to form a cogent reply. Get ready 'jac'... my kind and in-depth explanation, why you are narrow in your non-thinking view - will be gone soon... but have some confidence, your narrow view regarding "Republican's" will remain.

'Batman' already mentioned the main inequality; Women have the grand privilege of choice for bearingRead More children. No matter how bad a man wants to become a father, it's up to some woman to decide to provide a child for him. Traditionally in our society, men are obligated to pay for dating and are expected to afford to provide for the family as women seek this economic stability in men, and will often dismiss a lesser paid man as a potential mate. Perhaps when most women are paying for everything or contributing equally while first dating, and continued into the relationship or when raising a family after marriage, then economic equalities will become more important.

Of course women don't have the same standing as men, they don't have the same hardware either. ButRead More they do have considerably more responsibility in our society. They are the ones who have the responsibilty and the honor of bringing new life into the world. And caring for and nurturing the babies and small children. Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!

Well said, Nama. I was speechless to see how many people Uncle Ben had influenced during his life,Read More but it's no wonder. There may be one less Ben Taylor in our lives, but Heaven just got a whole lot more fun!

Thanks, Kyle for posting this. I'm not sure how things were in the past, but as a Patch editor, I'veRead More seen that blogging and engaging readers directly is a great way to market a book. Steve Repak, a financial planner with a military-themed personal finance book, blogs regularly on Patch and has recently been featured in National Media.
