📚READ TO A SHELTER PET!🐾
Sit. Stay. Storytime. – Kitten Edition!
• Saturday, July 19 at 10:00 AM
• Wednesday, July 23 at 3:00 PM
Location: Lost Our Home Pet Rescue, 2323 S Hardy Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282
What is Sit. Stay. Storytime.?
Presented by Lost Our Home Pet Rescue in partnership with Childsplay Theatre, Sit. Stay. Storytime. is a unique literacy and compassion-building event for children ages 6 and up. This special Kitten Edition brings together the calming presence of shelter cats and the power of reading aloud to build confidence in young readers and provide enrichment for adoptable animals.
During this interactive experience:
• A professional actor from Childsplay will lead an engaging, theatrical reading of pet-themed stories.
• Our animal behaviorist will teach children how to safely and respectfully interact with pets.
• Children will then break into small groups, rotating between reading aloud to kittens and quietly engaging with them through gentle holding and supervised interaction.
Why read to shelter pets?
Reading aloud to animals has proven benefits for both children and pets—and can be especially meaningful for young readers who are shy, anxious, or still developing their fluency.
This small group format allows every child to participate at their comfort level while helping pets become more socialized and ready for adoption!
Event Details:
• For children ages 6 and up
• $15 per child, or $25 for two
• Adult supervision required
• Participants may earn community service hours for school, Scouts, or other programs
