New in the City Marshals Office, Officer Magda Catalina Cardenas transformed her dreams into reality, proving that resilience pave the way to success.
On January 6, 2025, Officer Magda Catalina Cardenas was officially sworn in by Chief Wright as a member of the Pasadena City Marshals Office. This marks an exciting new chapter in a journey shaped by resilience and determination. A dedicated mother of three, Catalina overcame numerous challenges to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a police officer. Immigrating to the U.S. at the age of nine, she earned U.S. citizenship in 2021 and graduated second in her class from the Pearland Police Department’s Academy in 2023.
Before joining the Pasadena City Marshal, Catalina served nearly two years with the Seabrook Police Department, where she developed her skills in law enforcement. With over 13 years of community service experience—including her work with initiatives like Blue Backpack and Toys for Tots—Catalina brings a wealth of knowledge in conflict resolution and a strong commitment to public service. We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments and excited to see the great work she will continue to do in this new role.

😞 Hi, I’m Bruno. My buddy Baird got adopted, so now I’m here alone…
Baird and I came into the shelter together. Though we weren’t bonded, we were two pees in a pod. I’m happy for Baird but scared for me. Scared that I won’t get a second chance.

Barbara and Ed invite you to explore their remarkable connections to early space travel January 14th at Central Library.
Authors Barbara Radnofsky and Ed Supkis both grew up amongst family friends who worked in the NASA Crew Systems Division in the 1960s and 70s. In fact, Barbara’s father was chief of the division and was part of the team locked in a room with the same materials on board Apollo 13 to help the astronauts fix the problem with carbon dioxide scrubbers depicted in the movie.
Come and hear from them about early space travel with a focus on family and friends, especially the friendship between Alan Shepard and close family friend and barber Carlos Villagomez and the golf ball the astronaut gave him immediately after hitting a ball on the moon and returning to earth. Join us at the Central Library (1201 Jeff Ginn Memorial Dr.) on Tuesday, January 14 at 5:30 p.m.

Video: Puppies, possibly chihuahua mixes, dropped off at the Animal Shelter need fosters or adopters to heal and thrive.
Community we need your help.
5 very young pups were brought to us today. It was stated by the finder that they were found near Hwy 225 in our city. It appears that these babies have already suffered so much at such a young age. They are dehydrated, positive for hookworms and sores all over their little bodies. These babies need a hero. Our medical team has started treatments. This is no place for such young puppies, they are in need of a foster, rescue or an adopter that is able to provide the medical and TLC that they need. Please share, together we can give them a better future.
*They seem to be a smaller breed. Maybe chihuahua mixes. Too young to tell without knowing mom. Estimated 5 weeks old.
