OK...we're back in business!!!  Eight cats were brought back to the store after everything was stripped and cleaned not once but twice.  Bell, Sandy II, Midnight and Mr. T returned.  Newcomers are CC, Juliet, Sierra and Claus. 

So, what happened to the rest? Winston was adopted and went home over a week ago.  He is going to be the only pet in the household and is going to be spoiled and happy and never lacking for attention!  Book went home also and will be living with a dog and three children!!  He not only got a home...he got a whole family!!  Ruby, Amethyst, Tyler and Cuddlebug are all doing well at the Shelter.

Wonderful news about the change in litter, huh?!!!  This should make cleaning a lot easier and should make the entire area looked neater.  The pine litter was placed in the canister yesterday.  Again...I beg of you...do not use too much of it as it is more expensive than the clay.  If this becomes cost prohibitive we will go back to the clay.  Scoop when you can! 

Here is the new guys:

Sierra is a pretty blue cream torti that unfortunately has been bounced around lately.  She was first adopted from us a few years ago and had a lovely quiet home.  Sadly, her owner died and she was brought back to the Shelter last March.  She was adopted shortly after that but was returned eight months later.  An infant moved into the house and the disruption was a bit much for Sierra.  This is something we actually see quite often - cats that come from quiet homes often do not react well when circumstances drastically change.  Please make sure potential adopters are aware she needs a quiet home and individual attention.   She is over five years old so her adoption fee is only $20.

Sierra

Juliet is so precious!!  She lived in a home with four other cats and is very friendly!!  Her owner moved into assisted living and Juliet and the rest could not go with her.  sSe is very affectionate and just loves being held and fussed over!  She is about three years old.

Juliet

Claus is a handsome young man who came into the Shelter as a stray in mid December.  He is another friendly guy and will be a wonderful companion!  We estimate he is just at a year old. 

Claus

CC is a doll!  She is special as an orange female is not very easy to come by! She also came from a multi-cat household.  She was surrendered to the Shelter along with six others when her owner was evicted.  She is lovely!!  She is five years old.

CC

So, here is the set up...Sierra has two cages.  Remember, she did best in a quiet home and a change upset her. Do not force her to mingle as the stress may be too much for her.  Juliet and CC are in singles and need to stay that way until we see them settle in.  Bell and Sandy II are sharing three cages because we know they will do fine with each other as they are returnees.  Claus is a single and also needs to stay that way for now. Big Mr T and Midnight are in the big cage.  Slow introductions for the new guys, please!!

We are working on the air filter system.  Hopefully we will get that done soon.  In the mean time let's hope the thorough cleaning did the trick.  Thank you for your patience!
