It's Valentine's Week at Cat Care Society and We're Celebrating Some of Our Favorite Kitty Couples

Venus & Saturn

At 1 ½-years-old, Venus and Saturn are still very active. They love to play and chase, and are very good hunters. This brother-and-sister pair have been at Cat Care Society since March 2011. They are a bit nervous and may not want to live with small children.

Mickie & Scooter

These 1 ½-year-old sisters are the perfect bachelorettes! Mickie is missing one leg, but it doesn’t slow her down! Her favorite activities are running and “lapping” (your lap, not hers). Scooter is the curious girl and loves to investigate anything new. She loves to be talked to and will perk up and run right to you. They have been together their whole lives and would like to be adopted together.

Biscuit & Buster

Biscuit and Buster are a classic “little old couple.” These 15-years-young cats are active, outgoing, and light up a room with their warmth and enthusiasm. Their bunny-soft fur makes them ideal lap-warmers. They love to be held and shower adoration on you. If you meet them, you are sure to fall in love!

Aurora Sentinel: 'Victories for CID4 a victory for Colorado bioscience industry, too'

Quoting from the January 26th article by Brandon Johansson:

"The organization, which stands for Colorado Institute for Drug, Device and Diagnostic Development, helped Sophono get its start, providing some initial investment capital that helped Sophono get off the ground. Last year’s jobs announcement from Sophono was part of 16 new, direct jobs created in the first quarter of 2011 by a company affiliated with CID4, according to CID4’s annual metric report released last month...

Kevin Smith, the organization’s CEO, said in terms of direct jobs, that proved to be CID4’s biggest quarter since the organization got its start in 2009...

Smith said that in the case of PeptiVir, a company working to develop an influenza vaccine, the CID4 investment helped the company to leverage the state for an additional grant.

'It was a perfect example,' he said.

Holli Riebel, CEO of the Colorado Bioscience Association, said in situations like that, CID4 has played an important role for bioscience companies.

When those companies get their start, they often don’t have the finances necessary to test their product, let alone take it to market, she said. CID4 provides the initial capital that companies need to help them seek other forms of investment, including government grants.

'Every little bit moves along to the next stage and makes them more attractive to bigger donors,' she said."
