Yoga Plus Cats Equals Winning Formula

The nonprofit Cat Connection cat/kitten rescue, serving the tri-county Southeast Michigan area, will host Rescue Cat Yoga from 6:15 to 8 p.m., July 22, at Court One Training Center. There will be 45 minutes of instructor-led movement (BYO mat) from Trap Yoga and 30 to 45 minutes of feline playing, snuggling and climbing. Proceeds from ticket sales help to spay/neuter and give other veterinary care to homeless cats.

Cats are playful and curious by nature, and the minute participants set up their yoga mat, at least one will do whatever possible to get some attention and probably claw the mat, so expect the
unexpected and listen for the purring.

Must be 10 or older and sign a waiver if under 18.Location: 7868 Old M-78, Haslett. To donate, adopt or for more information, call 248-622-4331 or visit CatConnection.org.
