Prince and Clyde Go Home!

Yay for Clyde!!!  Finally he was adopted!  He left last night and will be joining another cat and a dog.  His primary caretaker is a young girl who is thrilled to be adding Clyde to her household.  Prince also left last night.  He was adopted by a vet tech who works at Abri Animal Hospital so we will be able to keep very close track of him!  He left in a new carrier and was quite content to be in it!!

Two new guys arrived today. Char is a fabulous young lady who was discovered inside the remains of a house following a fire. Even though she was wearing not one but TWO collars at the time she came in to the Shelter, still no one called to report her missing. She is very affectionate and will purr as soon as you pick her up!! She is a petite little torti and will acclimate well to a household with cats, kids and dogs.  She is just under a year old however her adoption fee is still $10.00.
Petite Char

Fabio is a big, handsome,  friendly boy that seems to LOVE children!  He has been staying in our main cat room and every time kids come in the room he runs to the front of the cage to say hi!  This poor guy was relinquished to the Shelter when his owner moved and could not take him.  He is two years old and very friendly.  He gets along with other cats and would more than likely be fine with dogs as well.

Fabulous Fabio




As always please allow Char and Fabio to settle in and do not force them to socialize with the other cats.  Both should be fine once they have settled in however let that happen at their pace.  Do not open the door between cages for them until you are certain they will be ok.

At this time of year unfortunately the kittens totally over shadow the adult and teenage cats.  To entice adopters to take cats and not kittens we are having a promotion at the Shelter for the next two months.  For the month of May the adoption fee for all cats over one year old is $10.00.  All the cats at PetSmart - regardless of age - are $10.00.  For the month of June (which is Adopt A Shelter Cat Month) all adoption fees for cats are 50% off the regular fee. Please look to the right under "Links" and click on May and June 2012 Cat Adoption Promotion and you will a flyer detailing the promotion.  Please forward it to any one you know who may be interested or make copies and distribute it.  If customers at the store are interested in kittens we do have them at the Shelter.

Help is still needed for the last two Sundays of this month for the morning cleaning.  The dates are May 20 and May 27.  Please let me know if you are available.
