2011 Starts With A Bang!!

Let's hope the first five days of 2011 are an indication of how the entire year is going to go!

On Saturday, New Year's Day, Meow and Stefania went home together! Some of you may remember the woman who adopted them. She was approved to adopt Jinx and Cali and had even already paid the adoption fee. The day before she was to pick them up she learned her sister was very sick and she needed to care for her. In the mean time she asked that we keep Jinx and Cali up for adoption and even use her money should we find a home for them. Well, we did and off the two went. On Saturday, she came to PetSmart and fell for Meow and Stefania. Since only six weeks ago she had been approved to adopt two cats there was no reason to make her wait! She went home - made some arrangements, talked to her resident cat and came back and picked up the girls!

Lucy's new mom submitted her application on Sunday and was approved a few days later. Her heart went out to Lucy after reading her bio. Lucy went home last night to a very excited mom and dad. She will be the only cat - no kids either - and will be spoiled rotten!!

Two new cats arrived on Tuesday - Basil and Nike. They both will be fine in a household with dogs, other cats and children. Both are members of large litters and, unfortunately, are quickly growing up at the Shelter. Basil is the last of a group we called "The Spices." We suspect he was continually overlooked because he is plain looking while the rest of his litter had striking physical characteristics. He is a young tiger striped male with a very pleasant personality. He is a nice, friendly cat who will make a great pet.

Nike is one of a litter of four - three black cats and one tiger. He also is friendly and outgoing and will adapt to a household with everything. As you can see from the picture below he has a slim, delicate face and just may be mistaken for a female.

Five rolls of paper were given to the manager on New Year's Day. Please let me know when you take the last roll so I can arrange to pick up more before the only pieces left are all tightly curled and totally annoying!!!

Only two open dates left this month:
January 20, Thursday, AM Cleaning

January 28, Friday, AM Cleaning

Attention Dog Walkers...the next adoption event at PetSmart is Saturday and Sunday, February 12 and 13. I would like to have dogs at the store from 1-3pm on both days. Let me know if you are available to help that weekend.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
