Smith Gets Another Chance!

The volunteers have had a light workload lately!!  Between transferring cats to Animal Outreach and other Shelters we have had only a few cages filled lately.  It seems like every time we choose a new arrival for PetSmart we get an application for adoption for that cat at the Shelter.  So, you do have some new guys that have arrived today.  But first...the adoptions...

Smith and Bugs went together to a very nice older gentleman.  He had come into the Shelter looking for two cats - preferably siblings.  He loved every one of the cats at the Shelter!  We took his application and told him to advise us when he had made a decision.  He decided on Bugs and Daffy and called us.  By that time they had gone to PetSmart and Daffy was gone.  We all were so sad!!  So, after giving it more thought he decided on Bugs and Smith.  He called today to say that Smith has taken over residence in his recliner!  He did say that the two are getting along well and chase each other playing tag.  Smith better continue to behave himself!

Here are your two new arrivals:

Noodles is just about three years old.  He first came to us in the fall of 2012.  He and his brother Max were left overnight at the Shelter.  When staff arrived in the morning they found the two cats left at the front door.  At that time we estimated them to be about five months old. A short time later they were adopted together.   Sadly their owner passed away and they were brought back to the Shelter in October of 2014.  They shared a cage at the Shelter and patiently waited for home number three. That came along about two months when Noodles and Max were adopted together again.  About five weeks later we were heartbroken when Noodles was returned.  The new adopters said he did not get along with their dog and was aggressive toward it.  So, poor Noodles is now in the market for home number four.  He will do okay in a home with other cats however not kids or dogs.  Perhaps that is all just too much excitement for him.  Also, keep him caged alone.  He did at times bully Max when they were in the cage together at the Shelter. He has an old eye injury that does not bother him at all.

Thalia is an older girl and qualifies for our Senior For Senior program.  We think she is about eight years old. She came into the Shelter in August as a stray.  She is a pleasant old girl and will make a nice companion.  She is a lap cat!

Thalia and Noodles make six cats at PetSmart.  Two more should be arriving soon!
