Story time isn’t just for kids. In fact, it is a purr-fect past time for some of our furry neighbors. Griffin Pond Animal Shelter, 967 Griffin Pond Road, South Abington Township, opened the book on Pages for Purrs, its new cat enrichment program for 2020, on Sunday, Jan. 5. The program is offered to community members and friends on the first Sunday of every month from noon to 1:30 p.m.
