Hot Cocoa, Cookies & A Christmas Tale

Join us at Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society (6620 Jackson Lane, Gloucester, VA) on Wednesday, November 12, at 1:00 p.m. for a special Pet Story Time event!

Enjoy hot cocoa, cookie decorating, and a holiday craft, plus meet Ted Costin, author of “The Cat Who Came Back for Christmas.”

This heartwarming story from Christian Faith Publishing shares a family’s Christmas miracle — when a beloved pet’s spirit returns to spend one last holiday with the people who loved her most.

Fun Fact: The cats featured in this touching book came from GMHS!

The event is free and open to all ages — we can’t wait to celebrate the magic of the season (and pets!) with you.

Pet Story Time

Join us for Pet Story Time every Wednesday at 1:00 PM at GMHS! We will read a story together, do a small craft, then we invite you to read to our shelter pets. No registration is required and all ages are welcome.
