I brought three new cats to PetSmart today - Carmen, Penn and Jake. All three settled right in and will do fine. Carmen is a sweet little black two year old female. Jake is adorable! He is a buff colored youngster about five months old. Penn is a black and white older male - about seven. Penn was stressed out during the ride to PetSmart but was fine once he arrived. All three are on the lower level of cages. As always, for now keep their doors closed and gradually introduce them to the other cats.
Not to be a party pooper but....please refrain from putting the big stuffed toys in the cages. The cages are becoming too crowded and the cats have limited room to begin with. These toys are big and are taking up precious room. The cages need to look neat and clean. I think the blankets, cat nip pillows and a few small toys are plenty. Also, as I have said in the past, odor needs to be kept at a minimum. The toys will start to absorb the odors and also start to look hairy and soiled.
Peggy and Henshaw have both been put into the Open Your Heart And Home program. Their adoption fee is now $10. On Saturday they will be returning to the Shelter. I would love for them to stay with us, however it is time to showcase some others. I have been assured they will be well taken care of and will be placed in cages next to each other.
Today was the first time I met Rascal. He is the best!! He walks right out of the cage and into your arms!
Donald, Bluebell and Freddy are all together in the big cage and seem to be doing fine. Donald is pretty shy so try to give him a little one-on-one time to help him become more friendly. Filled to the top, the big food and water bowls are plenty for the three of them. They are big bowls so you don't need to add any more.
Adoptions have been doing well lately. Let's hope it keeps up! Below is Penn, Carmen and Jake.
