Thumpity, Thump, Thump....

Thumper when home on Sunday and his new mom was VERY excited to get him! I don't have a picture so I can't feature Thumper as he says goodbye. He is a good boy and is happily lying around a house now!

Squiggy was showing the signs of an upper respiratory infection and was returned to the Shelter. He is presently on antibiotics. Once he gets a clean bill of health arrangements will be made to have him return. In the meantime his partner in crime, Ricky, has a new home and is being picked up on Saturday. He is being adopted by the parents of our latest volunteer addition - Jenn J. Squiggy sure is going to miss him!

The hold on Purrty fell through. The applicant opted for a puppy instead. Poor poor Purrty! When will she get a home?? Right now she is rooming with Frankie and taking such good care of him. He is pretty shy and she is patiently grooming him and obviously telling him everything is going to be okay. The two look so good together. Wouldn't it be great if....I can't even say it...

The two calicoes, Carmen and Jess, seem to have bonded and are having alot of fun together. They are both so cute!

Arrangements are being made for new cats to be brought to PetSmart on Sunday.

PetSmart Charities is hosting the Second Chance For Love Adoption Weekend on Friday-Sunday, February 13-15. Volunteers are needed to man the adoption table a few extra hours. I would like to see the table open on Friday for two hours in the early afternoon. In addition I need someone to cover the table from 12-2pm on Saturday and Sunday. It is already covered from 2-4pm on both days. Please let me know if you are available. I am going to arrange to have dogs participate and will need help with them. As in the past I also hope to have additional cats come stay for the weekend. Please let me know if you are available for any of the time slots.

Thank you to everyone who attended the volunteer meeting on Tuesday night. I am glad so many of you had the opportunity to meet Sheriff Schaffer. I am grateful that he took the time out of his busy schedule to meet with us. 2009 is going to be a great year for the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center!

Sunday, February 1
