Hey CDA Local Buzz Folks, we would like you to meet Suzie โค๏ธ. 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 ๐.

U.S. Declares 'Murder Hornets'
Eradicated After Five-Year Fight

The invasive northern giant hornet, known as the "murder hornet," has been declared eradicated in the U.S., five years after its first detection in Washington state. The eradication was achieved through community cooperation, innovative tracking, and rapid nest destruction. These hornets, capable of decimating honey bee hives, posed significant threats to pollinators and agriculture. Monitoring continues to ensure the species does not reemerge. Read Moreโฆ
