Synopsis

Lola takes home all kinds of helpless animals, which she finds abandoned around the neighborhood, or which her friends give her when they can no longer took after them. But the house is too small, and one day, her mother tells her she has to get rid of all her pets. Having no other place, Lola takes the animals to school, despite the fact that this is absolutely forbidden. Thanks to her friends, Lola manages to hide the animals in different places around the building and plans to set up a shelter for stray animals in San Lorenzo. But Virginia, who is allergic to cats, ends up discovering them and telling the Headmaster. Just when it seems things can't possibly get any worse for Lola, the city receives the visit of Bernadette L'Heraud, a supermodel and president of an animal protection organization. Bernadette has organized a fashion show with pets in order to collect funds for her association. Lola decides that, whatever it takes, she has to speak to her about her problem. Virginia, on the other hand, is all set to be the star of the fashion show.

Each 30-minute episode consists of two cartoons.

Broadcast premiere was March 14, 2006; air dates are for ZigZap in Poland.

Lola is a 12-year-old girl whose life is far from simple. She lives in a rundown neighborhood, has a couple of snotty younger brothers to look after, always wears cheap clothes, and has to put up with her crazy school companions. But, as if that wasn't enough, it all suddenly becomes much, much worse with the appearance of Virginia, a stuck-up little rich girl who has everything: beauty, good grades, all the boyfriends she could possibly want and filthy-rich parents who never refuse her anything. How will she possibly survive all this?
