Adoptions, Arrivals and News

Glitter went home last Wednesday to a very excited little family!  She will have two human siblings, one canine sibling and mom and dad.  They have not had a cat for a couple of years.  Their last cat lived until 18 years old!  Hopefully that is an indication of how well Glitter will be taken care of and loved she will be.  Hopefully she has a similar long life!

Gia and Flower have been adopted together,  however will not be picked up until July 14 due to a preplanned vacation.  They were brought back to the Shelter to await their new family's arrival.  They will be the only pets with a doting mom and a twelve year old daughter. They are so excited!!   They had two cats in the recent past - one lived until 15 and the other lived until 18 years old! 

Noodles was picked up and is being transferred to the Animal Adoption Center.  They are a great little Shelter and he will be fine!  If you would like to know more about their shelter click on the link to the right with the title Animal Adoption Center of Lindenwold.  They also have a Facebook page.

So...you have four new arrivals at the store...Spencer, Tracey, Buffy and Damsel.  Allow me to introduce them...

Spencer and Tracey are littermates that came into the Shelter very recently...July 6.  This is a somewhat typical and annoying situation we see often.  The owner allowed her cat to have four kittens.  Of course five cats in your house is a far cry from one adult cat and four kittens.  Once the kittens become "teenagers" and are no longer little and cute and are running willy nilly throughout their home we are notified and told they are unable to keep so many cats.  So...here we are with Spencer and Tracey at four months old.   They are very nice and have been in a home.  They would adapt to any household...cats, kids and dogs.  They are like having two little boys in your home rip racing about and playing and rough housing! The new family will see this and so will you!  Tracey is buff colored with white boots and Spencer is a tabby swirl. Spencer cries to get out of the cage! I can't blame him!  He just spent the first four months of his life happily playing and exploring. Tracey is the calmer of the two.  Absolutely no need for them to go together.  At the shelter they were in different cages.

Spencer

Buffy is about a year old and came from a home where many cats were being trapped and added to an outdoor TNR colony.  She was much too nice to be put outside!  She can be a tad shy initially but will come around just fine! 

Buffy

Damsel is a sweet cat that came into the Shelter in early June as a stray.  She had a scrape like wound on her back so initially spent a lot of time in our sick bay.  Under the expert care of our medical staff and with plenty of TLC she healed and here she is! She is about ten months old.

Damsel

As always please be patient with the new arrivals and let them acclimate to the new surroundings at  their own pace.  Do not force any of them to come out and play with the others.  Open their cage door and see what they do.  If they choose to stay in...so be it.  We so often hear people at the Shelter when choosing a new pet say "they will just have to get over it" or "put them together and let them work it out."  This is certainly not in the best interest of their pets!  As you all know we advocate for a slow introduction to a new home, a new environment and a new co-pet.

Schedule looks great!! One cancellation in July...Sunday, July 26, AM Cleaning.  If you are available please let me know.
