Topeka Heads Home! Three New Arrivals!

Topeka left on Wednesday night. Her new family had settlement on a new home last weekend and are thrilled to have Topeka coming with them! They were very excited to pick her up!

George and Jerry are going to Connecticut to the Ridgefield Operation For Animal Rescue (ROAR) where they will go up for adoption. (Please click on ROAR under links to the right for more information on this organization.) We have had amazing success with this small Shelter since they starting working with us last summer. On Friday, January 28, Paige will be transporting George and Jerry along with four kittens that are presently in foster up to this wonderful little shelter. I did receive two applications for George and Jerry however neither worked out.

Three new cats arrived yesterday. Two brothers, Blackout and Duncan, are now sharing the big cage. They are wonderful! They are a couple of years old and were left behind - along with a third cat named Flurry - when their owner moved out. Flurry is just getting over an upper respiratory infection and is in sick bay. You will probably meet her soon! You can tell them apart by the amount of black on their little noses. In the pictures below Blackout is on the left and Duncan is on the right.

The third new arrival, Violet, is a sweetheart! She is under a year old and has been growing up at the Shelter - we have had her since August. She is very friendly and sweet! Here she is:

All three of these guys will do fine in homes with dogs, kids and other cats.

Three new volunteers trained this week! Welcome to Peggy, Lydia and Joe! Thanks to Ruthann and Larissa for doing the training!

Still one opening in January...Friday, the 28th, in the morning. Let me know if you are available to cover it. Please look ahead to February, too.

If you need to call me please call my house phone first and then my cell. If the cell ringer is turned off I won't hear it. I will send those two numbers to all of you in an e-mail.
