Minerva and Fabio Go Home!

After being in the Shelter since May of 2011 our Minerva was finally adopted!  She will be living with an older cat and a nice quiet couple.  Perfect situation for her!  Fabio also was adopted.  He too will have feline companionship in his new home.  When Fabio's new parents first saw him at PetSmart they could not believe how closely he resembled a cat they had owned and sadly lost.  They were very happy to bring him home both for his sake and to also help them mend their own broken hearts.

Two newcomers arrived today at the store...Gladys and LJ.  Both will do fine with other cats and kids.  Most likely they will both be fine with dogs as well. For now they will be occupying single cages at PetSmart until they appear settled and at ease.

Poor Gladys really needs the luck of PetSmart to help her.  She has lived in a variety of homes and needs to find that last one where she can no longer worry about again finding herself living in a stainless steel cage. She is approximately nine years old.  She first arrived at the Shelter in July of 2009 and was pregnant.  She had a litter of kittens and went home with a kind foster mother until her kittens were weaned and able to be put up for adoption.  Shortly after that she was adopted and went home with a nice couple.  Sadly, in January of this year Gladys was brought back as her owners were moving and could not keep her.  In May Gladys was adopted and we were all so happy!  Imagine how sad we were when she was brought back two weeks later as someone in the home was allergic to her.  We were heartbroken for Gladys!  Gladys needs you guys at PetSmart to help her find her forever home - we promised her this was it!

Gladys - a good girl!

Then there is handsome, regal, majestic LJ!  He, too, has had a bit of a tough time but won't let you see it! In January his actual owner left him behind with family when he moved. In April they brought him to the shelter saying they had too many pets and could not care for him.  He was already neutered and had been a strictly indoor cat. He is so friendly!!  He will walk right into your arms! He has gorgeous markings and will make a wonderful companion.  LJ is between three and four years old.
