Nike was brought back to the Shelter because he appears to have some type of allergy. It looks like he is getting hot spots or itchy areas which he then scratches and little scabs are forming at the site of the irritation. You know he is in good hands with us at the Shelter.
Two new cats arrived on Friday - Baxter, the orange tom and Flurry, the pretty tiger with white. Flurry is litter mates with Blackout and Duncan and was left behind just as they were. She has beautiful markings and is VERY friendly! Baxter is about two years old. He showed up at a TNR colony and was so friendly the caretaker brought him to the Shelter where we discovered he was already neutered. He is a nice guy. Their pictures are below:
George and Jerry arrived safely at ROAR in Connecticut. Thanks, Paige!!
I am very happy to announce that on Friday at the Shelter three new volunteers were trained in the paperwork for the adoption table - Kathleen, Lydia and Joe. They will be working with each other and seasoned volunteers in the next few weeks. Thanks, guys!! If anyone else is interested in learning the paperwork please let me know and I will arrange your training at the Shelter. As I always say...it is not rocket science but it is a tad tedious. We can go over it at the Shelter without interuption.
