Here is some more good news.... Trooper and OC left last night together!! They will be the only pets in the house. They will be living with a toddler which could take some getting used to. Their new family told me, "They were the only ones that looked back at us through the glass!" Looks like they knew how to work it!! Both were nervous and growly when they left last night so the Shelter checked on them today to see how their first night went. Both ate and both used the litter box. OC is a tad more nervous than Trooper. We did reiterate that with time and patience they will settle in and be fine. For now they will be separated from the toddler until they feel more comfortable.
An application for Isabel has been approved and she is scheduled to leave today. She will be the only pet in the house and will have a couple of kids to play with!
Which leads me to our new arrivals.... First, there is Piper and Shiloh - another case that will break your hearts. These two are littermates that came to the Shelter in late November of last year when their owner passed way. Both are friendly and will sit with you and enjoy being petted. Unfortunately there was not a family member available to take them. Both are 2-3 years old. They were accustomed to a quiet home. Although the bios say no small children we would consider an applicant with kids if they appear to understand the history behind these two and understand cats in general. We also would prefer they are adopted together because they have always been together. If adopted together the fee for one will be waived. Piper is the torti and Shiloh is the tabby.
The last new arrival is Ethan - a handsome and friendly young male. He came into the Shelter as a stray and is 2-3 years old. He is a brown and black tabby and has a big tom cat head and a flat nose! He looks like a little lion!
Please look at the schedule and note that in July a schedule change begins. Joanne has been doing Sundays since 2006 and asked for some time off - well deserved, I must say, since she works at her real job Monday through Saturday! She will do Monday nights for July and August and then will do every other Sunday and every other Monday starting in September. If you are only available on weekends here is an opportunity to pick up a regular spot. Please let me know if you are interested. Otherwise it will be filled monthly.
The June schedule looks great. There are only two openings - both in the morning: Thursday, June 9 and Friday, June 17. Remember, starting in June dogs will be at the store the first Saturday of each month from 12:30 to 3:00. If you signed up make sure you remember and check the schedule for your name.
Let's hope this momentum continues!!!
