Get pet photos with Santa to benefit group that spays, neuters outside cats

It’s that time of year again. Santa is making his rounds to take photos with your children.

However, I’m not referring to little Suzy and sweet Matthew, but rather Lucky and Max — your furry kids!

And your pets, of course, are itchin’ to sit on the lap of the man in the big red suit, right? Yeah, didn’t think so.

But that’s not gonna stop us from throwing an elf hat on Cooper, loading him up in the vehicle and taking him to Santa Claws and Paws on Sunday, Dec. 8, at Bark n’ Purr, 1036 S. Vista Ave., Boise.

After all, a photo of your dog or cat chillin’ with Saint Nick would make for an excellent Christmas card. Plus, it’s for a great cause.

Santa will pose with pets from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $25, and includes a 4-by-6-inch photo as well as a link to all digital copies. Or pay $20 with a cat food donation to be used to feed hungry, cold strays.

The proceeds will benefit Operation Community Cats, whose mission is “to improve the welfare and reduce the population of feral and stray cats through spay/neuter programs and education.”
