Peggy and Henshaw Home Forever AND Together!!

Best news ever - one of our very own volunteers adopted Peggy and Henshaw! Thank you, Joann, for having such a big heart! The two best friends left Sunday morning. I will definitely keep you updated on how they do. I know everyone was worried about these two and will be so happy to hear this news!

Two new cats were brought to PetSmart on Sunday. Remember Golda? She is a pretty little torti that was adopted from us a while back. She was brought back to the Shelter as she was not exactly bonding with a young girl in the house. The family subsequently adopted another cat from the Shelter. Golda is two years old and is sweet but a tad shy. She settled right in. Also brought on Sunday was Pollyanna. Pollyanna is a brown tabby who is a petite little thing who is quite friendly and nice. She also is two years old but looks younger than that. She, too, settled right in.

Penn was brought back to the Shelter because he was sneezing specks of blood. At this point we are leaving his cage open and ready for his return. Hopefully he will quickly get a clean bill of health and be back.

Rascal got a hold on Sunday and his application was approved today. He is being picked up on Wednesday night. What a great cat! One of our volunteers knows his new family and assures he is going to a great home where they just LOVE kitty cats. I am so happy for Rascal!

Cute little Jake has a hold but at this point the applicant has not contacted the Shelter with the mandatory paperwork. I will have to keep you posted on this one. He is absolutely adorable so if this one does not work out I am sure someone else will fall in love with him.

Friday mornings need to be filled indefinitely starting this week, August 15. Please let me know ASAP if you are available to do any.

Remember our girl Glory?? She left the Shelter on Sunday for her forever home! How awesome is that?!!

The Animal Alliance of Cape May County is a non-profit animal welfare organization that operates a low cost spay/neuter clinic next door to the Shelter. (To the right under links is their website.) The Alliance is building an educational courtyard between the clinic and the Shelter. They are having a pre-grand opening event for the courtyard on Saturday, September 20, 1:00-3:00pm. There will be animals from the shelter there along with tables for refreshments, educational materials, and children's activities. The Alliance is in need of volunteers for this event to include someone to push around a stroller with cats from the Shelter in it. If you can help please e-mail Barb Allison at gbarbis@comcast.net for more information.
