If you're an animal lover, and particularly fond of kittens, you might want to consider dining out on Sunday, Feb 24.

Wauwatosa's Pizzeria Piccola, 7606 W. State St., has teamed up with Second Hand Purrs, a no-kill cat shelter at 4300 S. Howell Ave.

Order a Neapolitan-style pizza, Caprese salad or one of the authentic pasta entrees between 4 and 9 p.m. and a significant portion of your bill supports Second Hand Purrs.

Your little furry friends thank you.

OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.

As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
