Lots of Changes!!

Blush and Muscato went home on Saturday! The applicants were so nice!  They will be the only pets in the their house...along with two young adults.  They are aware that the two have patella issues and plan to obtain pet insurance.  It is so nice to see them finally get out of a cage!

Rambo and Murphy were transferred to Animal OutReach in West Cape May.  For those who are not familiar with AO they have a nice little Shelter where the cats available for adoption have free run.  Since opening their place they have really helped us find homes for our cats.  They help us with kittens as well.

Ralph was becoming increasingly more uncomfortable being at Petsmart so we was brought back to the Shelter.  He is fine!  REMINDER: Blue should not have free run with the other cats.  He does not really care for feline company and made that quite clear last week.

So...who do we have now?  April and Midnight!  They arrived at the store yesterday.

Midnight is eleven years old and is a great guy!  This lap cat has such a sad story....  His owner died years ago and her daughter took Midnight.  In September the daughter was forced to give up Midnight when she had to move into assisted living and could not take him with her.  Of course he qualifies for our Senior For Senior Adoption Program.  He is a love bug!

April was living quite happily in a campground as part of a TNR colony and had been fixed by and was being fed by a kind person who lived there.  Well, another camper came down and apparently found her presence annoying.  When she was brought in we found her to be nice and sweet!  She is fine with other cats, too.  She is about four years old.

Three new volunteers trained on Saturday!!  Welcome Bridgeen, Cathy and Brianne!  We also have Virgina training Wednesday night with Larissa.  The plan at this point is this... Cathy will cover Thursdays through June for Rikki and Virgina will cover Wednesdays.  Rikki is back in July.  I do have two dates in June that still need to be covered and I am waiting to hear from Brianne who may be doing them - June 19 and 20 in the morning.  I'll send an email out if she is unable to commit.

If you missed us on "Shelter Me" on ABC Channel 6 in Philadelphia click on the link to the right and view it.  Our volunteer dogwalkers Joyce and Connie were a big help during taping!

Leona is back this week!!  Yay!!  We missed her terribly on the adoption table.  So happy to have her back and feeling good!
