Another Great Week!!

Wow!!  It is a tad difficult to keep up with the adoptions this week.  Armando left last Wednesday night and will be living with two Jack Russells and a wonderful family.  A few days after the adoption Armando's new owner felt bad not taking Archie as well.  Initially he was going to come back for Archie but after learning that he had a wonderful application pending he decided to let Archie go to the other home.  He will be leaving tomorrow night.  Archie will also be living with dogs, as well as another cat.

OK...get ready for this...Starburst and Skittles are going home tomorrow night, too!  They will be living with a young family and be the only pets.  There are two children in the house - a one year old and a six year old.  Mom and Dad are in the Coast Guard and moved here from Georgia.  Both have grown up with cats. It was refreshing to hear that they wanted older guys and not kittens.  They totally understand that Skittles is a little nervous and has her own personality.  They realize Starburst will more than likely settle in quickly where Skittles will need time.

And one more...Sentra is leaving on Saturday! She will also be living with two dogs!  All of our cats seem to be going to homes with dogs! Another cat is in the house as well. 

Poor Robby.  After bending over backwards to accommodate a young family interested in him he was brought back in less than 24 hours. There was a dog in the house and Robby was petrified.  More than likely he would have been fine if he had a slow introduction to the new house, the dog, a toddler and mom and dad. It is always a shame when people do not listen and fail to slowly introduce a new pet to the home.  Don't worry...Robby is fine and back with us at the Shelter.  He would have been brought back here from PetSmart anyway for a slight eye infection.  He is a good boy and will be just fine!!

The three Zs arrived at the store on Saturday.  All three are boys and were born on April 22.  They lived in a house with other cats, dogs and kids and wow, can you tell!!  They settled right in at PetSmart and are totally unaffected by the activity around them.  They do not need to be adopted together. However, as always, adopt two cats and the fee is waived on the second adoption.

I hope I haven't forgot anybody!!  With Skittles & Starburst, Archie and Sentra all leaving this week be prepared for more new furry faces!!

There is two openings in the calendar this month listed below.  Please let me know if you can cover:
Saturday, August 11, AM Cleaning
Sunday, August 26, AM Cleaning

A stack of brown paper was brought to the store today, more cat carriers and a stack of clean litter pans.  Also, I was told one of the openings under the cages needs to be covered.  Staci, the general manager was advised of this and said it will be rectified.  Let me know when that happens.
