The exceptionally cold temperatures this week have caused many to stay inside under a blanket and seek warmth—including furry friends.

Some cats currently housed at Rude Ranch Animal Rescue in Harwood decided to escape the cold on Wednesday and cuddle up in the sunlight for warmth.

Rude Ranch Animal Rescue is currently gearing up for National Spay/Neuter Month in February, which aims to raise awareness of the plight of homeless animals and overpopulation.

In honor of Spay/Neuter month, Rude Ranch Animal Rescue’s Spay Spa & Neuter Nook is featuring daily specials in February. The specials are as follows:

• No Mama Mondays—have your cat or dog spayed at a greatly reduced price
• Tomcat Tuesdays—any and all male cats will be neutered for $20 
• Hump-Free Hump Day (Wednesdays)—dogs up to 50 pounds will be neutered for $50 (larger dogs slightly more)
