Very quiet weekend. We did have a new arrival that I had not yet told you about that is going to be going home with one of our volunteers. Unfortunately I do not have a picture. Opal, a white long-haired declawed female, will be going home with Ruth either tomorrow or Tuesday. She came into the shelter very matted and with a terrible wound on her neck. She was so pathetic! Her arrival at PetSmart has caused quite a stir among both the volunteers and the customers. Ruth fell for her!!! I can guarantee that this sweet cat will be pampered and happy from now on!
PetSmart Charities, Inc announced that effective today (February 28) all adoption centers must now feed Pro Plan food and use Tidy Cat litter. The managers at the store are aware of this. I filled both bins with the new products and taped exactly what we are to use on the wall above them. Pro Plan will also be providing litter pans and food and water bowls that we must use. When they arrive at the store the manager will place them in the adoption room. Whoever sees them first - please let me know! I am not sure what they look like and the manager does not know either. I hope (fingers crossed) that the bowls fit in the metal rings and the litter pans are suitable.
We are adding another schedued adoption table on Friday evenings 6:00-8:00pm that Ruth will handle. Thank you, Ruth!! This should be a big help!
As I mentioned a week or so ago I am going away from Wednesday, March 3 through Tuesday, March 9. If you have an issue or need to cancel please e-mail animalshelter@cmcsheriff.net and put "Attn: PetSmart Volunteer" in the subject. Remember, you can call the Shelter Monday through Saturday 8:00am - 4:00pm and on Sundays 9:00am - 4:00pm at 465-8923 or call PetSmart at 886-7356 and ask for a manager. If you are doing the adoption table the weekend of March 6 fax applications as you normally would. The Shelter Assistant Manager, Leslie, will be reviewing and approving applications. We won't miss a beat!!
