Sign up now for SPCA of Wake County's popular summer Cat Tales program

Registration is open now for Cat Tales, the very popular summer program at the SPCA of Wake County where kids can read to the cats, bunnies, dogs and other pets at the shelter.

During the programs, kids will get a chance to read to two different animals for 20 minute sessions each. At the end, there also will be a structured activity. Last year, my daughter made cards. Cat Tales is designed for kids in kindergarten to fifth grade.

Programs are at 11 am. and noon, June 10, June 24, July 8, July 22, Aug. 5 and Aug. 19.

Some things to know:

Parents or guardians must stay with their child.

All parents must register for a session. They can't accommodate walk-ins. And only 10 parent spaces are available per session. (Parents can bring as many as two children with them.)

When registering, parents should register themselves for the program. Each parent registration is $5.
