Heat is back on at Spartan Gym - just in time for Average Joe Cat Show

The parts came in and were installed at the Spartan Gym, so the full heating unit could be turned on again.

The heat was off after a gas leak closed the building for a few day. Part of the heating unit was up and running within an hour, but the lobby and two of the rooms had to wait for the installation of replacement parts.

The repairs came just in time for Saturday's Average Joe Cat Show, 10am to 3pm, where regular cats show their quirks and charm in a benefit for the Purrfect Pals pet shelter.

The show has such competitions as "Biggest Cat in Smallest Box" - and there will be kitties there for adoption, as well.

And it will be warm in the building.

Spartan Recreation Center, between the Shoreline Center and Shoreline Stadium, 202 NE 185th St, Shoreline 98155.
