Misty and Clara left before I had an opportunity to give them a proper introduction! I wish we always had that problem. Clara went to a home with two dogs, and two cats. The two cats had been adopted from us also. Misty went to a home with a gentleman and another cat - that cat too had been adopted from us. We love our frequent flyers!!
I am so sad to say that the applicant for Anya and Brody that we were all so thrilled about decided with two dogs, adopting two cats was taking on too much so they only wanted one. They came to the Shelter today and chose another cat. Oh well. This can only mean the absolute perfect home is waiting around the corner for these two!
Say hello to the two new boys arriving Wednesday:
Skittles is a long haired orange male that came into the Shelter as a stray in November. He is about eight months old. Boys that look like Skittles usually get adopted quickly - let's hope that is the case with him. His adoption fee is $70. He will do fine in a home with other cats, kids and dogs.

Yen is a black and white male that is about ten months old. The day before Thanksgiving he came into the Shelter as he was left
behind with his brother, Sid, when his owners moved. Nice, huh? Poor cats! Sid
is on meds and as soon as he is healthy enough we are hoping he can go to Petsmart as well. Yen's adoption fee is $70 and he would do fine in a house with other cats, dogs and kids.

A volunteer recently asked how we are to go about cleaning the water/food bowls and litter boxes at PetSmart. There was a policy a while back where the PetSmart employees would clean the bowls and litter boxes that volunteers would place in the back room. This never quite got off the ground - I am sure that does not come as a surprise to all of you!! Our cats mingle at play, in the cages, share food, water, toys and even litter boxes. For that reason it really is sufficient to spray the bowls and litter boxes with the BuckEye solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry them off. Usually a simple wiping out with a damp paper towel is fine for the bowls. Litter boxes are also periodically brought to the Shelter and put through the sanitizer. If you have any questions please email me.
If you see that a cat has "aged" into a lower adoption fee please feel free to let me know and adjust the fee on their cage card. The intake paper has the date of intake and the estimated age on that day. You can figure out the age from there.
