Happy Tuesday, Sunset Park! Diane Witek with everything going on around town today.

First, today's weather:

Warmer; a morning shower. High: 70, low: 52.

Here are the top stories in Sunset Park today:

1. Cats, dogs, pets are up for adoption at Sunset Park area shelters. Consider looking around at a local adoption agency, if you're a cat person, meet the majestic Horus, a domestic short hair up for adoption. Or you may consider fostering. Offering a needy animal a safe, comforting and supportive environment while she waits to be adopted helps socialize a shelter pet to enhance her adoption potential. (Sunset Park Patch)
