Take Me Home with You!

Fitness SF Trainer Tip

“Ball Slams are tough, but definitely worth it! This is one of the best exercises for testing your core strength. Try this at our Marin Outdoor Gym so you can get some Vitamin D sunshine at the same time.”

“My name is Squirrel! I am an almost 17-year-old, male feline who is a favorite among the SF SPCA staff and volunteers. I am a fluffy brown tabby with captivating green eyes and a big, bushy tail that resembles my namesake. I am incredibly friendly and love to meet new people. I am always up for some petting, and I adore brushing sessions. I would thrive best in a home where I am the only cat. Although I used to live with a dog and enjoyed their company, I prefer to be the one and only feline in the household. If you think we might be a match, come say hello!”

From Paradise Osorio: “Kitten season has arrived at the SF SPCA!

Every spring, hundreds of kittens flood our shelter, which means there are lots of adoptable kitties looking for their forever homes. We expect many litters to arrive in the coming weeks, so please visit our website ( www.sfspca.org ) to view all available animals and adopt your very own bundle of love!”

Squirrel is presented to San Francisco Bay Times readers by Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, the SF SPCA’s CEO. Our thanks also go to Osorio for helping to get the word out about lovable pets like Squirrel.

To meet Squirrel in person, visit the SF SPCA Mission Campus @ 201 Alabama Street. It is open for appointments from 10 am–6 pm (Monday–Wednesday, Friday–Sunday) and 1 pm–6 pm on Thursdays.

In Pakistani Director/Cowriter Saim Sadiq’s extraordinary feature debut, Joyland, opening May 19 at the Roxie, Haider (Ali Junejo) meets a transgender exotic dancer, Biba (Alina Khan), when he takes a job as one of her backup dancers. Haider soon finds himself attracted to Biba; a scene of them in her apartment brims with sexual tension, and it is dazzlingly shot with lights dancing on the characters’ faces. However, Haider is married to Mumtaz (Rasti Farooq), and while he does care for his wife, he struggles with his desires.
