Get your best “awww” ready for Boone County Animal Shelter’s second annual baby shower, showcasing adoptable pets from cuddly kittens to playful pups. It wouldn’t be a true baby shower without a present for the guests of honor, though. Check the animal shelter’s “baby” registry at Walmart, Target or Amazon for gift ideas such as chew toys, catnip and puppy training pads to support the hundreds of babies the shelter will receive this year.
10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. Free. Boone County Animal Shelter, 5643 Idlewild Road, Burlington, Ky., facebook.com/boonecoanimalshelter.
