Seven New Furry Faces!!

Sadly, the Z brothers got sick at PetSmart and had to go back to the Shelter.  What a shame!  We are trying to figure out what it is at the store that causes the young cats' eyes to become so inflamed!  Maybe it is that scented litter.  We simply do not know.

Belle had a bit of a hissy fit and bit one of the volunteers.  She has been brought back to the Shelter for a mandatory quarantine time of ten days.  Do not worry about her - she is fine!!

Sentra went home as scheduled.  Her new family is very excited!!

OK...here's the new guys...some of you have already met a few of them:

First is Bailey, is a large buff colored male about five years old.   He was dumped on the front yard belonging to one of our staff along with three other cats - all in the same carrier.  Who would do such a thing???  He was even already neutered.  He is a sweetheart!!

Then we got the kittens...Buddy and Rob.  They are litter mates and are about four months old. They have been living together in a bird cage in the lobby of the Shelter so are accustomed to a lot of activity.  They can be somewhat shy at first so let them settle in.

George and Jerry have been growing up at the Shelter.  They came in July of last year as eight week old kittens and have been living together ever since.  George, the tiger,  is affectionate and outgoing. Jerry, the black cat, is shy and afraid.  We must do all we can to see that George is not adopted and Jerry left behind!  If they are adopted together the fee is merely $35! They are in the big cage...the magical big cage that gets our pairs adopted TOGETHER!

Mitch is a handsome old tomcat!!  He has a big round face and beefy jowls! He is about three years old. He came to the Shelter in May after animal control received a complaint of cats fighting in trash cans.  Um...we do not think Mitch would find with anyone!  He is a love bug!! Look at that face!!!

Glory is a beautiful gray female just over a year old. She is very friendly and loves attention! Isn't she pretty?

Let all the new guys settle in before opening doors, sharing cages and having them all play at once. Watch for signs from those who are ready and those that wish to be have some space.

REMINDER....although litter pans are brought to the Shelter for sanitizing this does not mean you do not need to rinse them out.  Please take them into the back, rinse them out and spray them down with the Mad Dog disinfectant.  Not only is this unsanitary but soiled pans left in the cabinet will make the room smell.  A bad smell is a major turn off to potential adopters!!  If you have any questions about this procedure please call me at the Shelter.

It appears that often times the clean bowls are being shoved toward the back of the cabinet. The cabinets are very deep so it is easy to miss the bowls. 

Let's hope the Seven bring us good luck for adoptions!!!
