Connie & Midnight Go Home - Welcome Helena & Robin


Midnight went home Friday night so Brandon has lost his roommate! Since Brandon is so accustomed to company in his big cage someone else is moving in. I am sure Brandon will miss Midnight as will many of you! Connie went home on Friday night as well. She is quite a cutie!

I spoke with Smokester's new mom last week and she told me that Smokester settled in quickly and gets along well in her new family which includes another cat and a dog. Things went so smoothly she is even contemplating adopting another cat!

Helena and Robin will be arriving on Sunday. Helena is an orange and white female and loving and friendly. Robin is a female and is primarily black with white markings. She is a little shy but is very nice.

As far as the new litter pans...I think we all agree we prefer the old ones - however we have to live with them. I know they are shallow and somewhat flimsy. Please be careful not to use too many. They tend to stick together and some cages have as many as four piled upon each other. Before using a new pan please make sure that it is not several stuck together. Using two at a time seems to work fine.

The March schedule looks great so far. The following mornings are still open: March 3(Sat), 8(Thu), 9(Fri), 16(Fri), 23 (Fri). The only remaining open evening is: March 23(Fri). Please let me know if you are available to cover any of these days.

If you know anyone interested in volunteering at the Shelter please let them know that the next Volunteer Orientation is Tuesday, February 20, 7:00-8:30PM. Volunteer applications are available at the Shelter or can be downloaded from this site or the Shelter's website. Volunteers must submit to a background check prior to attending the orientation so if you know anyone interested have them complete an application ASAP. (Volunteers at the Shelter can not be younger than 14 years old. Volunteers between the ages of 14-17 years old must be supervised at all times.)

Again...thank you very much for your help!! I am SOOO pleased with the number of successful adoptions we had in January!!!

Meet Helena and Robin:
