The New Guys!

Three new guys arrived today...Simba, Coco and Shammy.

Simba is such a nice old cat!  He is very friendly and very vocal.  He is a talkative bag of bones!  You will all love him! He goes right to the front of the cage the second he sees a human!  He is 12+ years old.  Simba was living in Wildwood Crest and his owner could not longer keep him. From what we could gather he was an indoor/outdoor cat that would go to the door when he wanted to go out.  We'd like to see this old man live out his golden years safe and sound!

Coco is a nice, friendly,  four year old house cat that was living with another cat, a dog, and an infant.  Coco's owner became ill and could no longer keep her animals.  Her parents were able to keep one of the cats and  opted to surrender Coco.  Coco was always well cared for and we were provided with a history of vet visits.  She is a sweetheart!

Shammy is beautiful! She is a long haired torbi that came in spayed and declawed. Her story is a sad one.  She was found in a pillow case in a dumpster in early May.  Fortunately a Comcast employee working in the area heard crying coming from the dumpster.  She had been put in the pillow case and the case was knotted and discarded in the dumpster.  We could tell she had spent a considerable amount of time that way.  The SPCA, local police and Animal Control were all notified.  Her picture was posted on our Facebook page in an effort to find out who had committed this act of cruelty.  Sadly it appears we will never know.  Now we need to get her placed in a wonderful home and make this all a distant memory for Shammy.

Welcome new volunteers...Bridgeen, Virgina, Cathy and Brianne!!  All four are trained and ready to go!  Cathy already started yesterday morning and things went great!  Thank you all for volunteering!  Keep an eye on your email and jump in whenever you can!

Just a reminder...June is Adopt A Shelter Cat Month and all adoption fees for cats are lowered by 50% for the month!! Below is a flyer with all the details.
At this time the schedule for June is complete - yes, I am knocking on wood!!  Thanks to each and every one of you for all you do for the Shelter and for our feline friends at PetSmart!!
