Looks like April is proving to be better for adoptions than March!! Last night Valentine, Bob and Elise went home. I know Valentine will have a wonderful home. She is joining a Chihuahua, another cat who reportedly looks like a small, skinny version of her and a couple of birds. Lots to keep her occupied. She can finally be active and maybe shed a few pounds! There is a fifteen year old girl in the house who could not wait to share her room with Valentine.
Bob's new owner applied to adopt him before he even came down to PetSmart. The Director just approved the application on Tuesday.
On Tuesday a woman called the Shelter and said that Elise was her cat which had disappeared after the summer. If you remember, Elise was left at the Shelter door in a box back in September. Her owner theorizes her neighbor may have done that!! Elise (aka Zena) is back home where she belongs. Maybe that is why she seemed so unsettled - she was trying to tell us she already had a home!! Fortunately she leaves us microchipped so this should never happen again.
On Tuesday, April 17 at 7:00pm I am teaching a Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return seminar for the Cape May County Animal Shelter Alliance. TNVR is the only effective, humane solution to controlling the stray and homeless cat population living outside. I will demonstrate several traps and provide tips and information on every step of the process to include trapping, vet appointments, transportation, recovery following surgery and release. (Plus, there will be snacks!) The seminar will be held at the Old County Court House at 11 North Main Street in Cape May Court House. If you know anyone interested in attending please tell them to call the Alliance at 465-6388 or have them e-mail me directly.
On Saturday I am bringing four new arrivals to PetSmart. Look for a blog update introducing them!
Hey, this update wouldn't be complete without some reference to the calendar....please look forward to May and let me know what you can do as soon as possible. Also, Jen and Lauren need coverage for the evening cleaning on Thursday, April 12. Please let me know if you are available to handle that.
I hope the Easter Bunny is good to each and every one of you!! Thanks for your continued help and compassion for our furry friends!!
