We hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend filled with family, fireworks, and a little hometown pride. Here at The Jefferson Review, we had the chance to watch two beautiful shows in Jefferson County. One ended with a bang, and another ended with an engagement.
In today’s Monday Edition, we are highlighting community celebrations, local workers, a countywide candidate profile, this week’s weather, upcoming government meetings, community events, and one very sweet adoptable kitten looking for her forever home. We are also proud to be together with Tanglefoot Dance Hall, a new gathering place bringing music, dancing, and fresh energy to downtown Festus.

Adoptable Pet of the Week
This adorable 9-week-old tuxedo kitten is as unique as she is lovable! This sweet little girl has polydactyl front paws, meaning she has an extra toe on each front foot, giving her the cutest oversized "mittens." When she first arrived at the shelter, she was scared, shy, and shaking.
But in just a few short days, she has blossomed into a cuddly little lovebug who can't get enough affection. Once she's in your arms, her purr motor starts right up, and she's happiest snuggled close to her favorite people. If you're looking for a kitten with a gentle heart, a unique look, and endless love to give, this precious girl is ready to find her forever home.
Her adoption fee is $135, which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, flea and tick treatment, deworming, and a microchip. She's ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family who will love her as much as she'll love them.
