San Andreas, CA...Meet MIDGIE, an incredibly sweet and adorable medium-haired gray and white female kitten. Midgie was rescued from a feral colony. She was about half the size of her littermates - a true runt. At intake, she weighed less than 2 pounds and now, at about 4.5 months, she just tipped the scale at almost 3 pounds and is ready to be spayed. Midgie is very playful and energetic. She loves attention and especially enjoys being cuddled and getting brushed. Every human she meets is her new best friend. Midgie seems very healthy––she’s just miniature. This very special kitten needs a home where she is indoors only and will be showered with love and attention, because the shelter volunteers love her.

San Andreas, CA...The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind the public about mine and cave safety. Recently there has been a renewed public interest in the exploration of abandoned mines and uncommercialized caves. However, as exciting as it might sound, cave and mine exploring is inherently dangerous. Caves and mines each contain unique hazards and the potential for major accidents. Each year, a number of people are killed in abandoned mines. Mines are especially treacherous and contain the following safety hazards: Loose or falling rock, unstable ground, old explosives, rotten “shoring”, cave-ins, hazardous chemicals, poisonous air/ lack of oxygen, water-filled pits, dangerous animals or insects, and many more.
