We had two adoptions this past week and some new arrivals. Lauren went home last weekend with a couple of very excited little girls! When the girls arrived at PetSmart with their mom they were told Lauren was going with them and was their present from Santa! According to Judy M there was many squeals and screeches of delight!!
Tinkerbell went home on Saturday. Her new mom thought long and hard about this adoption. Her cat had passed away right before Hurricane Sandy and she really missed having a cat. She was thrilled to find Tinkerbell and it appears to be a wonderful match!
We have a pending application for Humphrey. Unfortunately the application for Josephine was pulled.
We decided to bring Leigh and Abby back to the Shelter for a while and bring a total of four new cats down. I know this makes some of you worry about the ones we brought back but please do not!! They are fine!! Sometimes changing things up is exactly what we need to spark adoptions. We are going to allow George and Jerry to remain at PetSmart and plan to really market them. Hopefully that will make a difference. Please take an extra couple of minutes to socialize those two!!
So, here is the new guys...Ruby and Amethyst and single cats Cuddle Bug and Tyler. Ruby and Amethyst are about two years old and were dumped under cover of night at the clinic that is next door at the Shelter. One morning in early September when volunteers arrived they found the two cats left in the vestibule of the clinic. Both were already spayed. We are assuming they are litter mates since they were dumped together. They are both very sweet. It appears they have always lived together so should go home together. As always, adopt both and the adoption fee is waived for one. Both would be $35.
Cuddle Bug is just as the name implies!!! Poor guy is growing up at the shelter!! He came in as a stray kitten - about five weeks old - in early June. He had a litter mate named Squirrel who was adopted. Prior to the adoption they were caged together so we do know he gets along with other cats.
Last but not least is Tyler. Tyler is another kitten that is basically growing up in a cage. He has been with us since late August and at that time we thought he was about three weeks old. It is about time he got out of a cage!!
