The Humane Society estimates that of the roughly 4,000 animals they take in each year, about half are cats. "From bigger play groups in this building to more adoption advisors to accommodate walk-ins to better kennels where their litter and food is separate from their play areas and hiding spaces, this building will hopefully drastically improve the mental health and physical health of the cats in our care," Manager of Community Relations and Human Resources Caitlin Ausmann said. "Stress is a huge factor for cats getting sick in a shelter environment. Every shelter knows that and experiences that. And having everything brand new in this building and more modern is outstanding."</p><p>If you're "Feline" like helping a cat find their fur-ever home, Kitty City's hours are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays, then 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekends.</p><h2>Something to "spread" the word about</h2><p>Pennington County's Master Gardener led a class on the benefits of making and cooking with compound butter this past Sunday.</p><p>Compound butter is when sweet or savory herbs and spices are added to butter to give it more flavor. It's made by just combining your choice of add-ins to softened butter, mixing it together, and reshaping the butter. Fresh herbs from a garden are the best and most cost-effective ingredient to use, and the recommended amount for use depends on personal choice.</p><p>"I would say that chives grow very well in the Black Hills, as does basil," Master Gardener Roxene Powell said. "You can also do thyme. There are some things that work really well, and some things that require a little bit of shade, like cilantro. That requires a little bit of shade, but those are very easy herbs to grow here in the Black Hills.)</p><p>Powell also says to avoid letting it overpower your main dish, as it's meant to be a flavor enhancer and not a sauce or gravy.</p><h2>Heading to the Gun Show</h2><p>Also from the weekend, the junior division of the Rapid City Rifle Club held a gun show at The Monument with a wide selection of firearms, ammunition, and other accessories.</p><p>This is one of two gun show fundraisers for the program, which typically draws in over 100 different vendors. The next one is later this year in December. Some of the big sellers for this fall event were hunting rifles for deer and elk season, along with shotguns for the upcoming pheasant season.</p><p>Proceeds from the show go directly to funding youth rifle and pistol programs in Rapid City, such as helping purchase competition-grade equipment for members and support for sending junior competitors to tournaments around the country and abroad.</p></div></body>
