🌱 RBCC Earth Day Fair + Kitten Season Is Here + Real Estate Roundup

Good morning, neighbors! Bettyann Pernice here with your brand-new edition of the Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch Daily.

First, today's weather:

Sunny and warm: High: 96, Low: 60.

Here are three of the top stories today in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch:

1. Mark your calendar! The Rancho Bernardo Community Council will hold its free Earth Day Fair at the Rancho Bernardo Community Park, Sunday, April 10, 10 a.m. Visit the earth-friendly exhibitions. Create a craft at the kid’s earth day craft center. See the electric vehicle show. Take advantage of the earth-friendly opportunity drawing as well. Fun for everyone!

2. It’s kitten season! Mother cats are having their litters, nursing them, then leaving them to hunt for food before returning to their kitties. The San Diego County Department of Animal Services is asking that residents hold off on immediately scooping up the litters they find in their neighborhoods. If the kittens are not in danger from predators, or traffic, or if they are not visibly sick or injured, it is best to let them be. Observe the kittens from a distance so that the mother feels safe enough to return to her babies. If the mother does not return after six hours, you can begin to care for the animals yourself, or contact a local animal shelter for an appointment to surrender the kittens.
