Each spring during “kitten season,” thousands of newborn kittens join the millions of cats already in shelters across the country. That means your local shelter has tons of cute, cuddly newborns, in addition to all the mellow, older cats and everything in between. And the shelter staff are ready to help you adopt your very first cat — or to bring home a friend for another beloved cat!

Adorable kittens and cats are available to be adopted now! FCCAAF is an organization that supports the rescue of cats and kittens and finds them homes. All cats and kittens are spayed or neutered; have their age-appropriate shots (including rabies vaccine); and are negative for the feline AIDs (FIV) and feline leukemia virus.

The Discovery

William Shakespeare’s classic comedy of errors takes the stage, complete with the mischievous Puck, a host of fairies and a sprightly youth cast. Entangled love runs wild in this family friendly performance as A Midsummer Night’s Dream features visually stunning costumes and scenery by frequent Nashville Ballet designer Campbell Baird, who also created last year’s Peter Pan.

“Dancing A Midsummer Night’s Dream again means that we get to see things that we didn’t see before,” Vasterling said.” We have a different perspective, whether it’s because of an audience member’s seat location, choreographic additions or even a unique situation in their life at the time. The work is a living, breathing entity and there’s always something new to see.”
