In light of record temperatures in the Burbank and Los Angeles areas, city officials are urging residents to conserve their energy consumption over the weekend.

They ask that residents please turn off all non-essential appliances and equipment between 4 and 6 p.m. when the demand for energy peaks as people return from work.

The city has cooling centers at the Josyln Adult Center, 1301 W. Olive Ave., and the McCambridge Recreation Center, 1515 N. Glenoaks Blvd., open at 8 a.m., seven days a week.

For more information on the cooling centers, call (818) 238-5300.

The Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter will hold a kitten adoption fair from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at the Burbank Police Department in their Community Room, 200 N. Third St., Burbank.

Adoption fees are $58 and include spay and neutering, feline leukemia tests, first vaccinations and flea treatments. For more information, call Annie MacLeod at (818) 556-3677.
