Yep!! That's right...THREE cats went home this week! Sandy didn't stay very long. His new parents had put an application on a cat at the Shelter but were the second hold. They were approved to adopt and when the one adoption fell through they decided on Sandy. He left on Wednesday.
Emma and Geisha left on Sunday and will be neighbors. Emma was adopted by a woman who felt she and the cat had a lot in common - they both needed a little company. Her new mom bought a really nice new soft carrier and Emma walked right into it. She left with her little white bed and a blankie, too. I called today to see how Emma's first night went and was told she did okay - she used the litter box and ate and drank - but is hiding. I reminded her new mom to get some wet food and entice Emma out with it. That will do the trick!
Geisha will be living next door to Emma with four other cats. When she first was introduced to her new family she was nervous but then sat down and seemed to accept them. They have adopted from us before and are old hands at introducing cats to their household. She is going to be just fine!
From now on we will purchase the brown paper and PetSmart will reimburse us. I bought four rolls yesterday. Please let me know when you open the last of the four rolls and I will replenish the supply. I also brought more litter pans down yesterday. Also...do NOT remove any litter or food from the shelves. Find a manager and have them do it for you.
Three new cats came today. Jordan is a young black female, about two and half years old. She is declawed. She was a happy cat until her owners brought a dog home. Even though Jordan was there first she was the one who had to go. Keep in mind she can not go to a home with dogs. Also, one of her eyes looks a tad peculiar so do not be concerned when you see it.
Lady is a pretty gray tiger cat. She is a calm girl but can get scared so probably should not go into a home with small children. She came to us when someone walked into the Shelter carrying her and said they found her and she was a stray cat. Hmmm, really??? She is so friendly....someone must be missing a nice cat!
Skippy is a black and white male. He is the shy one of the new bunch. He is good with other cats so should enjoy the company. He has a little white stripe right down the middle of his nose. He needs a little space initially so do not push him if he wants to hang back for a little while.
Here they are.....
The February schedule is just about complete. There is still two open Friday mornings (Feb 12 & 26) and one Sunday Adoption Table (Feb 28). Also, I still need help 12-2pm Saturday, Feb 13 for the adoption table. I have two dog walkers lined up for Sunday, Feb 14 but I do not have any for Saturday, Feb 13.
