Good luck, Tipper!!

Little Tipper was adopted and went home over the weekend. She will be living with a sixteen year old girl who is so thrilled to have her! Tipper is a great Shelter success story. She is thankful for a good Samaritan, a kind foster home and a new loving family!

Liam's adoption application has been approved and he is going home tonight (Wednesday). He will be living with one of those hairless cats named Skinny. His new dad is so incredibly excited about bringing Liam home. Being such a friendly outgoing guy I'm sure Skinny will like him!

Two new cats arrived today. Heiress is a big old calico...and I mean big! She is going to require two cages. She was left behind when her owner moved and has been in the Shelter for months. She is a sweetheart.

Bobby Sue is a tiger cat with no tail. She came to us a stray but must have been someone's pet at some time because she is also de-clawed. She is not going to want to jump in with everyone during play time. Bobby Sue is not crazy about other felines nor dogs. She will need to go into a home that has no other pets.

Spyder has been "acting out" lately with the other kitties - growling, swatting, etc. Tomorrow (Thursday) we're going to bring him back to the Shelter as communal living seems to be stressing him out. If everything goes as planned Liam will be picked up and two more cats will arrive before the weekend. I'll keep you posted on that.

Kittens, kittens, kittens!!! Yes, we have kittens! Should anyone ask please let them know that we have approximately thirty kittens in foster homes between the ages of three and six weeks. The older ones will be brought back to the Shelter very soon, given a first round of shots and available for foster pending adoption. If anyone is interested tell them to call the Shelter.

We did have a little run of upper respiratory infection at the store but it has been addressed and appears to be over. Zeus and Apollo are doing well and are in a big cage together at the Shelter.

There is still three remaining dates in May that need to be filled...two Friday mornings (May 14 & 28) and a Monday evening (May 31). Please let me know if you can cover any of the three.
