Happy Tails, Char, Duchess and Knight!

Last week was a good one for adoptions!!  Char, as we suspected, did not last long at all!  She went home on Wednesday night.  Duchess and Knight went home together on Friday night.  Their new dad was so anxious and so afraid that he would lose out on their adoption!  He was thrilled to be approved!  The two will be the only cats in the home and will live happily ever after TOGETHER!!!

Three new cats have taken the place of the lucky three adopted.  They are Minerva, Skittles and Starburst.  Minerva has been at the Shelter since she was just a few weeks old.  She came in on May 31 of last year. That makes her just over one year old.  She is very sweet!  She has gorgeous copper colored eyes!  She is a little nervous about making the change to PetSmart but will be fine.  She will do well with other cats and with kids.  She will probably do well with dogs as well.

Skittles and Starburst are littermates discovered in crawl space at the end of last October.  At that time they were about three months old.  They are under a year old - eight or nine months.  (Even though they are under a year their adoption fee is still $10 for this month.) Skittles is a female gray tabby and Starburst is a male orange tiger.  They are together in the big cage.  We would prefer to see them go home together.  Of course the fear is that someone wants Starbust because orange males are pretty and desirable and they leave poor Skittles behind! We need to get them taken together!

So far we have been doing pretty well with adoptions as a result of the May promotion.  This month is typically slow - maybe because families are focused on graduations, weddings and proms. 

A warm welcome to new volunteers Debora and Warren who trained today at PetSmart!!  Their first day is this Sunday.  You will not be sorry you joined this compassionate team!!

Please look at the June calendar and let me know if there is any open dates you can cover.
