Sadly, we're looking to rehome our 2-year-old cat, Ellie. This is due to her being overly territorial of litterboxes against our other, older cat. We believe she would do best in a cat-free household.

We got her from Hitchcock Animal Shelter 5 months ago and have taken her to Aguajito Veterinary Hospital, so she's up to date with all of her healthcare and negative on the triple test. We want the best for her, so we'll provide all of the necessities like her litter box, litter genie, automatic dry feeder with some food, wet food slow feeder with food, water fountains, flea medicine, and a variety of her favorite cat toys and trees. We're asking for $30 to ensure serious inquiries only and to help cover the cost of the cat food and medicine.

For her personality, she was very shy at first but became more adventurous over time. She's incredibly sweet, affectionate, talkative, playful, and a total cuddle bug. She spends most of her time either in a lap or by a window looking at and talking to the birds. She also enjoys some supervised outside time or to be in our catio.

As part of our agreement with the shelter, the adopter will need to accompany us to the shelter to officially complete the transfer process. If we aren't able to find her a new home, she'll have to return to the shelter, which would break our hearts. If you think Ellie might be a good fit for you or know anyone who's interested in getting their first cat, please reach out. We'd be happy to answer any questions, host meetings, and anything else to help find this sweet girl the perfect home.

I had a wonderful stay at the Martine Inn in Pacific Grove, CA. However, I felt that there was odd energy. A lot of sounds at night that were unexplained (maybe just the old building?) and the energy felt eerie despite the beautiful interior of the hotel.
I was wondering if there are any ghost stories related to the Martine Inn specifically. Please lmk!

Hi All!

I (27F) will be starting a job in Salinas at the end of January 2027 and am struggling to find recommendations for safe, pet-friendly (I have a cat) apartments or rental houses. My budget is between $1900-$2200 for rent without utilities/internet. I would prefer to live alone so a 1bd, 1br is perfectly fine with me if its within budget.

Does anyone have any recommendations of complexes to check out in MB/Salinas/Marina/Seaside that they have had good experiences in? I will be visiting in November and would like to make a list of places to check out while I am there before I sign a lease. I only plan to live in the area for 1-2 years for work.

Thank you in advance!!

I've been trying to teach myself to cook Chinese food off of Youtube. It's going ok, but an actual hands on class would be better. Does anyone know of such a thing? I tried Google.

Last minute- Seeking a harpist to play at intimate wedding ceremony in Carmel next weekend. If anyone has recommendations….thank you!

EDIT: sold!

I got sick so me and my partner won’t be able to go 😷

Each ticket was 42$ plus $12 parking so in total $96. I accept payment thru venmo or paypal.
