A fur sibling to keep her company would be nice but she’s ok being the only cat in her home. Kira’s adoption fee is waived thanks to the Pay It Forward Program. To adopt Kira, visit Animal House Adoption Center, located at 3516 Newburg Road, Tuesday-Sunday 12-6pm. For more info, call 502-473-PETS.

We encourage all residents to take part in the spring 2019 Brightside & Passport Health Plan Fall Community-Wide Cleanup on Saturday, Oct. 19.

The event is a great service opportunity for boy/girl scouts, sports teams, faith groups and community organizations. Cleanups are an integral part of Brightside's mission and without the help of volunteer groups, and many other volunteers throughout the year, Brightside could not achieve their goals of a cleaner, greener Louisville.

Neighborhoods can hold their own cleanups at any point throughout the year and Brightside can provide gloves and bags for each Neighborhood Cleanup. They will work with Solid Waste Management to have the collected litter bags picked up.

Give them a call at (502) 574-2613 or register online about two weeks prior to your event to schedule your cleanup and for information about getting supplies.
