The Latest News.....

Time to play catch up and properly introduce the cats at PetSmart and give a wave and best wishes to those who have been adopted!! 

Happy tails to all of you....  Gia and Flower were picked up on schedule at the Shelter and went home.  Their new mom was really excited! As stated in an email I sent a while back Damsel was adopted.  Lovey left last Wednesday and will be joining two cats and two dogs.  Her parents bought her some new food bowls and toys as a welcome home present!! Tracey went home with a family to live in Springfield, Virgina.  The family was looking for a younger cat that would be a good fit for their eight year old son.  Tracey totally fit that bill!  The family has a relative they visit often here in Cape May County and stopped in the Shelter to meet our cats.  Once we heard what they were looking for we sent them down to PetSmart to meet him.  Spencer went to a home where he will have both a canine and a feline sibling.  I think that's everyone!!

I have been receiving a lot of emails and concerns about Dovey and her eyes.  Lovey was adopted so quickly and we were hoping Dovey would too.  They both came into the Shelter in mid-May at about five weeks old and were very sick.  Dovey's eye appears to have developed scar tissue - otherwise she is healthy.  Mid-July the vet advised us to leave the eye alone and just watch it.  For now we will keep her at the store and see how she does.  She is very sweet and hopefully someone will fall for her!  If the condition appears to worsen we will come and get her.

Perry is a big nice guy who has fell on some hard times in his life.  He first came into the Shelter in March of 2011 as a stray.  He was adopted a few months later and stayed in that home for over five years.  Somewhere along the line he was de-clawed.  In June of this year he was brought back to the Shelter because his owner was moving and the new roommate is allergic to cats.  He is a big, handsome fella about nine years old.  He is friendly and good with cats, kids and dogs.  He also qualifies for the Senior For Senior Program.

Lovely Linda is a sweetheart and is just over a year old.  She came in as a stray.  She cuddles and is a lap cat!  She will do fine in a home with cats, kids and dogs.  She just adores attention and people!

These two are breaking the chart on the cute meter!!  Gus and Garfield will be arriving tomorrow afternoon.  They are littermates so it would be nice if they went home together - however it is not required.  They are 3-4 months old and will acclimate to any home.  (Of course Garfield has the orange!)
