"Flurry" of Activity Results In FOUR Adoptions!

What a great week for the PetSmart cats! Cheech and Versace left on Friday night. They were adopted by a couple who adopted from us in the past and sadly their cat passed away after a little more than a year. It is so great that these two get to stay together! Flurry left Saturday afternoon and so did Bonnie. Bonnie was also adopted to a repeat offender!! Her new family had adopted from us in November of last year.

Below is the line up of new arrivals. Blackout and Duncan were moved into the big cage. The first two, OC and Trooper, were surrendered at the end of January as a child in the home had developed an allergy. Trooper is the tiger with the white snout and pink nose. He is three years old. OC is the gray tabby and is five years old. He loves to be babied and will sit with you and enjoying a good petting session. Both will be fine in a home with kids and other cats.

Can you pick out Puffy?? Yep, the long haired cutie! She too was surrendered due to allergies in the home. She is four years old and will be fine with kids. She lived in a home as the only animal so we are not sure how she will do with other cats or with dogs. Please keep this in mind when letting the guys out to play. She may get stressed out. Also, Puffy was an indoor/outdoor cat.

The orange and white one is Lady. She came into the Shelter as a stray along with a tiny kitten. The kitten is in foster and doing fine. She is another one which we need to watch initially and see how she reacts when with the rest of the gang.

All in all...a good group!!!

New blankets were made to accompany the cats when they go home. If you work the adoption table and send the guys packing don't forget they get a blanket as a Going Home present. The blankets are made by Larissa's friend who lives in Pennsylvania. They are located in one of the cabinets under the cages.

The May schedule is just about complete. I still have not acquired a regular for every other Thursday morning or for Friday mornings. Anne (aka Mom) is picking up the Fridays this month - THANK YOU!! I still need coverage for Thursday, May 12 and Thursday, May 26.

Next weekend the Shelter will have a table and dogs at the Cape May County Earth Day Fair at the County Park 10a-4p.

Thanks to everyone who assisted with the adoption event this weekend. It sure was busy!!
