Good morning, Allentown.
🏘️ Community
Larson is a friendly two year old cat with unique gray spots now available for adoption at Forgotten Felines in Germansville.
He can be met on Saturdays between noon and 4 p.m. (a local shelter that also offers low cost spay and neuter services twice a week).
Local shelters including Lehigh Valley Humane Society, Forgotten Felines and The Sanctuary are preparing forever homes by offering training + free initial medical exams and guidance to new pet parents.
They stress careful planning and gradual introductions to help rescued pets settle in well.
🏥 Health
Local doctors say flu cases are rising as PA Health reports cases in Lehigh, Monroe and Northampton counties and urge residents to get vaccinated now to build protection before the season peaks (usually December to February).
They note it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to develop antibodies and reduce illness severity.
🏈 Sports
At an EPC quarterfinal Tuesday night, Northampton's K-Kids fell to Parkland with a 3-2 penalty shootout win (after a 2-2 regulation draw) at Orefield.
