Two food drives are happening Thursday at two locations in Carson City. One drive is to collect Thanksgiving turkeys for families in need, and the other is a drive to help feed family pets.

Carson City Toyota will host a pet food donation drive and adoption event for the Nevada Humane Society this Thursday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Nevada Humane Society will host a kitten adoption event Thursday at Carson City Toyota, the grand prize sponsor of the organization's upcoming duck race event.

Each year, the community gathers along the banks of the Truckee River to watch as hundreds of tiny yellow rubber ducks float across the water, and viewers cheer them on.

Adopt a Duck is one of the Nevada Humane Society’s biggest fundraising events of the year, and this year despite COVID-19, it will continue! However, instead of participants gathering on the banks, this year’s event will be live streamed from the Reno Shelter on August 29 at 12 p.m. and will consist of adorable shelter dogs and cats doing adorable activities.

Are you looking for a way to help Nevada Humane Society save more lives? One of the most effective ways to help animals directly is to become a foster.

Three days. 32 cats. $0 to a good home. The Nevada Humane Society is wrapping up day two of a three-day free cat and kitten adoption event in hopes of rehoming every one of their furry felines. The clock stops on this free-for-all at 6 p.m on Sunday night.

Happy Saturday, Carson City! Today we have kitten adoptions, Capitol tours, a star party, and more. Check out the full list below to learn what's going on in Carson City for this weekend!

More than 50 animal shelters and rescue groups participated in Nevada’s large free pet adoption event, Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days. It was organized by Maddie's Pet Project in Nevada, a three-year campaign aimed at helping more homeless cats and dogs find good homes and creating a safety net for pets by improving access to veterinary care in the Silver State.

We are getting a new roommate next week — a kitten! We haven’t had a kitten in over 30 years. We have always adopted older cats and lucky for me they didn’t eat my houseplants. However, kittens are like toddlers, always exploring and getting into trouble, so I have to make sure none of our plants can poison a curious kitten.

We aren’t kitten around! The first 100 pets adopted in July are free – and come with a free medium sandwich combo. All thanks to Port of Subs of Northern Nevada.

You want a kitten? Port of Subs has you covered! An adult dog? They’ll handle that, too!

Catmandu in Carson City is scaling its cat and kitten services back a bit.

Executive director Linda Buchanan was recently diagnosed with Behcet’s Disease, a rare auto-immune disorder after two years of strange symptoms and increasingly poor health. Although Behcet’s disease is not considered life-threatening, it requires a significant reduction of work and stress to keep the disease contained.

Good morning Carson City! Today is Saturday, April 6. While it's going to be a bit cloudy today, we'll have a high of 56 degrees. Sunday and Monday are almost hitting 70, though, with highs at 67 and 68!

Say hello to Carson City Humane Society's Pet of the Week, kitten brother edition.

Bug and Cheese-It are a pair of inseparable 7-month-old boys, and get along with just about everyone! Dogs, cats, kids, you name it!

They're looking for a fur-ever home together, and have been waiting for you to come and take them home since March.

Let's hear from the brothers themselves:

Every year, Nevada Humane Society staff knows for certain one thing is going to be true: April showers bring May meowers.

This year, we expect more than years before!

In order to prepare, it’s time for the annual Kitten Shower, being held on Saturday, April 6, at Nevada Humane Society in Reno and Carson City.

The fun-filled event aims to educate people about orphaned kittens in shelters, provide gifts for kittens, and enhance the group of Foster Caregivers — the volunteers who offer temporary homes to underage kittens and puppies.

Linda Buchanan, the owner of Catmandu, had no idea (or interest in) how to run an animal nonprofit. But in 2014 when her husband, Kurt, died, she felt untethered. They had not only been partners in marriage, but partners in business as well.

The Kitten and Cookies adoption event hosted by Carson Tahoe SPCA was a success, thanks to National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day Saturday, making it an even sweeter trip to PetSmart.

New models were on display Saturday at Michael Hohl Honda on South Carson Street in Carson City.

But these weren't cars. They were kittens.

Yeah, it’s hot out there, but it’s the area happenings that are sizzling. The Carson City Fair at Fuji Park offers a plethora of entertainment for all ages including tractor pulls, a carnival, and farm animals. Under the shade of the Mills Park cottonwoods, you’ll have all day to peruse the varied vehicles in the annual Run Whatcha Brung Car Show. The sun will come out tomorrow, but it’s the stars that are coming out tonight for the free Levitt Amp Concert at the Brewery Arts Center.

Michael Hohl Honda is hosting a Certified Pre-Owned Kitten Adoption Day Saturday, July 28 from 12 to 4 p.m. in the dealership's showroom located at 2800 South Carson Street in Carson City.

Each day, Nevada Humane Society has dozens of cats and kittens arrive at the shelter. This time of year, those numbers are especially high — and right now your help is needed as the supply of cat and kitten food is running critically low.

After 4 years of providing a cage-free shelter, adoptions, spay and neuter and rescue services for northern Nevada’s cats and kittens, we are now a permanent part of Carson City and the surrounding communities.

Welcome to the weekend, Carson City. Now that we are in November, thoughts turn to the holiday season. That means craft fairs. St. Paul’s Lutheran Family on Saliman welcomes you to their annual Craftique Open House. You’ll find the Young at Heart Seniors Club hosting a faire at the Douglas County Community Center. The Carson Nugget’s Sierra Room will be home to several artisans, vendors, and crafters during today’s wine walk. There’s quite a bit more, and plenty that doesn’t involve shopping, so take a look and have a great time.

It’s almost like Christmas Day for some of us locals: the long awaited Taste of Downtown has finally arrived. Food, drink, live music, rubbing elbows with friends and neighbors, and a new wine-tasting add-on make this one of the best parties of the year. The morning brings an unparalleled opportunity: you’ve got one chance to walk, run, or bike right down the middle of the freeway before the new bypass is open to vehicle traffic alone. Grab your favorite four-legged friend and head to Adele’s: Dining for Dog Town is a delicious way to help out this amazing rescue organization.

Kitten Adoption Day is Saturday, July 22 from noon to 4 p.m. at Michael Hohl Honda in Carson City. Catmandu is partnering with Honda to help disadvantaged cats and kittens find their FURever homes.

How much fun can you pack into a weekend? That isn’t purely a rhetorical question – it’s more of a challenge. Grab the kids for a day at the Dangberg Home Historical Ranch where storytellers are the featured guests. Locals are in the spotlight at the Rockabilly Riot, the Iron Rebels Car Show is for resident cars only. The bells are ringing at the First United Methodist Church. Handbell Ensemble group, Tintabulations, presents a free concert at 7 p.m.

SUNDAY:

Let the good times roll, Carson City. Cars, chrome, choppers, and kruzers are in abundance. Run Whatcha Brung at Fuji Park is open to any and all cars that can get themselves there. The Rockabilly Riot and T Bucket Alliance at Mills Park is an American Graffiti flashback. Cheer on our local motorcycle cops at the Extreme Motor Challenge, or hop on your own bike and go on a poker run with the Lords of Iron Motorcycle Club.

SATURDAY:

Though we always expect it, we can never predict when emergency situations will happen — though it often seems to happen early in the evenings.

Nugget’s story is no different.
