Aramati and Arcis
Hi, my name is Aramati (86207) and this is my buddy Arcis (86208). When I go exploring, Arcis isn't far behind because we love each other and pretty much everyone we meet. For Valentine's Day, I would like to go home with a family that will let me hop on their laps while Arcis cuddles and gives kisses. If nuzzling is your thing, come and meet us at HSSV's Animal Community Center! Visit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, 901 Ames Ave., Milpitas, or call (408) 262-2133.

Baby season has arrived
A Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center volunteer just picked up the first baby birds of the season. The tiny-tiny hummingbirds (two of which will fit on a dime) are just one day old and came in with egg shell still stuck to their backs. Their mother had flown into a home improvement store, become trapped, and could not return to care for them in their nest in the store's garden center. The extremely fragile babies now require regular feedings of a special formula every 15 minutes for several weeks before they can eat on their own, fly and then be released---IF they survive the first couple of days of their lives.
