Remember Tabs? She is a brown and black female who was with us a little while ago. The person who adopted her told Shelter staff that she is allergic to the poor girl and brought her back. Today I brought her back to PetSmart. She is such a nice cat. She broke my heart at the Shelter - as I reached into the cage to pick her up and transfer her into a carrier she squeezed her eyes shut so hard as if thinking if she couldn't see me then what was happening would stop. She is a scaredy cat but very passive. She is just a little shy. She did walk right out of the carrier and into the cage and let me pet her while she looked around. Let's hope her next home is indeed forever.
I also brought a young calico named Trina. Poor Trina has been in the Shelter since November 2007. She is pleasant and sweet and VERY interested in everything going on around her. She gets right to the front of the cage as soon as you walk up and immediately wants out. If someone starts to pay attention to her through the glass she immediately responds. I think it is about time she got to go home. Her bio says she does not play well with others so ease her into any group activities and see how she does.
Please, please, mark your calendars, tie strings to your fingers, set alarms on your cell phones, tell your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/dog/cat, whatever it takes - just please try not to forget to go to PetSmart when you sign up! Enough said! Also, remember to initial the sheet of paper on the clipboard indicating the cleaning was done. The managers really need this completed!
Okay, let's talk November...the following mornings are still open:
11/1 Saturday, 11/14 Friday, 11/15 Saturday, 11/21 Friday, 11/28 Friday
The following evenings/afternoons are still open:
11/8 Saturday (Adoption Table), 11/29 Saturday (Adoption Table)
If you know anyone who would like to become a volunteer at PetSmart have them contact me. We really miss Judy M who did alot of Saturday adoption tables as well as other days and Karla who was our regular Friday morning girl. We do need volunteers interested in the adoption table on weekends. Last Saturday was one I simply could not fill. I would like to find someone who will regularly do Friday mornings, also.
Welcome back, Tabs and meet Trina...
