Devotees of yoga and little cats showed up for Kitten Yoga, a playful class in which patrons stretch and breathe while kittens scamper around the room.
More kitten yoga sessions will take place in June and July at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon Ave. in Metairie.
Yogis 12 and older are invited. Cats and kittens will be on site to meet and greet patrons, play with them and be available for adoption.
Classes will take place at 10 a.m. June 26, July 10 and July 24. Supplies to help the SPCA and JPAWS will be accepted. For a wishlist, go to www.jeffersonspca.org/donate-to-our-wish-list
