Three Adoptions This Week!

Wonderful week!!! Gemma was adopted along with a cat at the Shelter named Oscar. Their new family is going away so the two will not be picked up until April 3. Gemma went back to the Shelter until then. Rascal went home on Tuesday. He will be joining two other cats and a dog so will have plenty of company. (I still am amazed it took so long for him to find a home.) Peaches went home Wednesday night. She will be the only cat so it appears her reign of terror has ended! There is going to be a lot less swatting and hissing going on now when everyone comes out to play!

Big Wally never got a proper introduction as I was away when he arrived at PetSmart. He is a good boy! He and his brother Lance were brought to the Shelter a few days before Christmas. Wally is about five years old. He was no problem at all to his family. A new baby was born into his family and she was allergic to cats so Wally and Lance had to go. Lance was adopted about a month ago and the new family already had one cat and did not want three. At the Shelter we all love Big Wally!! Wally is de-clawed.

Three new cats arrived today - all are VERY nice, of course! Karen is a black female lap cat. She is approximately five years old. She came into the Shelter in August a beat up little thing - barely weighing five pounds. She is healthy as a horse now and weighs in at over thirteen pounds! We are proud of how well she has done.

Nicky is wonderful! He is a tiger cat with a lot of white on him and is about four years old. He is super friendly. He went to Crest Memorial Elementary School with Shelter employees for career day and did really well. The new surroundings and all the students did not bother him at all. He will settle in quickly.

Spider is a year old and is another nice, playful guy. He was brought to the Shelter because his owner was sick and could no longer keep him. He has always been an indoor cat. He may be a little shy at first but will be fine. Please give him a little time to settle in.

Here they are...Karen, Nicky and Spider:

Everything went well while I was away! Thank you for being such a great reliable group!

Please look to the right and read the new article under "Shelter In The News." At the end of the article Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer talks about the shelter.

Stay tuned for some Spring events where the Shelter will be participating!

Look at the April calendar and let me know if you are available to cover any of the open dates.
