Hey CDA Local Buzz Folks, we would like you to meet Suzie ❤️. Suzie is a two-year-old female cat with a sweet and outgoing personality. She arrived at the shelter as an injured stray, struggling with a severe limp in her front leg. Upon examination, it was discovered she had a healed bullet or projectile lodged in her left shoulder. After a successful procedure to remove it, Suzie has been thriving! Although she may continue to limp due to muscle loss on her left side, her joyful and loving spirit remains unshaken.
Suzie is looking for a forever home that is patient and understanding as she completes her recovery. She would thrive in a quiet household without other pets or young children, and she should remain an indoor-only cat to ensure her safety. Suzie adores attention and would make a wonderful companion in a home where she can feel secure, cherished, and loved. Stop in and see if Suzie is the right fit for your family as she would love to be adopted by you 🙏.
Companions Animal Center, formerly Kootenai Humane Society, has cared for and found homes for unwanted animals for over 45 years. Please visit our website companionsanimalcenter.org for more information or stop by Tuesdays through Sundays starting at noon each day. They have many ways in which you can give to their causes, so please CLICK HERE to donate if you would like 🙏.


Whether you are a business owner in Coeur d’Alene or the surrounding areas and would like to have your business “Spotlighted” in one of our articles or Video Business Spotlight, let us know by email. Feel free to let a business that you love know about this - we’d love to support them too!

Top Indoor Activities in
Coeur d’Alene to Enjoy This Winter

According to a 2020 National Recreation and Park Association survey, 58% of U.S. adults are less active in winter months, and children’s activity levels dip significantly in colder weather as well. However, an increasing number of indoor entertainment options can help beat the seasonal slowdown. Whether you’re looking for mental stimulation or a heart-pumping challenge, indoor venues provide a way to stay busy, fit, and entertained when outdoor conditions aren’t ideal.
Give these a try:
Laser tag: Strike Zone
Ax throwing: Axe Force One
Escape games: Escape Game
Coeur d'Alene Theater: Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre
