Sasha Finds A Home With Four-Legged Friends


Sasha arrived at the Shelter a few months ago at the age of six. Her previous owner was moving and could not bring her along. Shelter staff fell in love with this big girl (she must weigh twenty pounds) and were anxious to see her be back in a comfortable house. Sasha went to PetSmart on Saturday and on Sunday she found a home! After hearing how Sasha had been left behind in the move a retired school teacher and his wife submitted an adoption application. They were approved and Sasha went home Wednesday night. Along with this kind couple, Sasha will be living with two four-legged housemates - a poodle and another cat. Sounds like quite a home!!

Robin went home as scheduled last Saturday. Helena is scheduled to go home this Saturday and so is Cathy!! Yes, Cathy has a home!! The hold for Cathy I told you about on the last blog entry was pulled by the applicant. Cathy got another hold Wednesday night and the application has been approved. It is a home with a couple with no children and no other pets. I think she will be spoiled and quite happy. (I must say Cathy has come a long way. Thanks to the compassion and patience shown by all you guys she really has come around and is a sweet, loving little cat. Good job!!)

Poor Taye went home Wednesday afternoon and was brought back to the Shelter this morning. He had been adopted by the family who adopted Smokester. Apparently he did not get along well with another cat in the house. He was promptly brought back to PetSmart by Shelter staff this afternoon. I am confident we will find him a good home.

Two new guys arrived yesterday - Senora (I call her Pumpkin - I like that name better!) and Iris. Senora (aka Pumpkin) is a six year old female torti. She has a round head and little ears. Iris is a two year old female who is gray and white and has had a tough time. She came into the Shelter with a serious eye infection which resulted in removal of the eye at the end of December. She is none the worse for wear and is still mouthy and inquisitive! Meet Iris and Senora...
