You already love to look at cute pictures of kittens on the internet, right? So take the next step (no, not adopting them, but you can do that, too) and head to Pom Pom's Teahouse and Sandwicheria and help raise money for Friends of Strays.

Local author and occasional CL contributor Arin Greenwood will read excerpts from her book, Your Robot Dog Will Die. Representatives from Dog Days will also be at the event with portable dog bowls, advance screening passes and mini-posters. A portion of whatever you eat or drink will go to Friends of Strays, so order up and help the dogs (and the kitties, of course).

Fundraiser for Friends of Strays | Pom Pom Teahouse and Sandwicheria, 2950 Central Ave., St. Petersburg | Aug. 3: 7-9 p.m. | Event page on Facebook
