Thinking about adding a furry friend to your family? The Nine Lives Foundation will temporarily close its animal shelter in Redwood City while they renovate a new location in a smaller space just down the road. As a result of the closure about 80 cats need to either be adopted or placed in foster homes as soon as possible. If you’re unable to adopt, consider donating to their fundraising campaign $9 for 9 Lives.

The Main Gallery is a beautiful little art gallery nestled in between Alana’s Café and the Redwood City Library. Due to rising rent costs, among other things, they are in danger of losing their space. They are trying to raise $10,000 to keep their doors open. You can help their cause by donating here.
