Let's play catch up!!  We did have a good application on Hobbit however the family pulled the application.  They did go to the Cumberland County SPCA and adopt though.  Three cats even!!  I have received another application for Hobbit however it is not complete and we have not heard from the applicant since December 9.

Bailey left on Saturday.  He will be joining a nice family!  There is mom and dad, and two older teenagers, two cats and a lab mix.  Definitely an animal friendly household!!  They have adopted from us in the past also.

I am introducing Carolyn even though most of you have met her already AND she has an approved application.  She is a fabulous cat just over a year old.  One day she appeared in someone's yard and was quite hungry.  She had already been spayed so someone owned her and took care of her at one time.  She will be joining a young man and his two year old child. She will be happy and loved there - hopefully for good this time!

Big Tink was brought down to PetSmart on Friday. She was originally adopted from us as a kitten in 2009.  She was brought back to us November of 2013 and has been with us ever since.  She has been in a cage for over 750 days.  In her home she lived with a little girl as the only pet and was quite happy.  She was not exposed to other cats or dogs in that home.  At the Shelter she was NOT fond of other cats.    Do not force her to interact with the other cats and let her take her time acclimating to PetSmart.

I am having some issues with the Yahoo calendar on line and will let you know as soon as it is updated for 2016.  If you need to change your regular volunteer time slot please let me know as I will be doing the entire year and updating as I receive cancellations.

As you are aware Leona will be needing to take some time to heal.  Her regular volunteer time slots are every other Thursday evening cleaning and every weekend on the Adoption Table.  She and Judy M let me know toward the end of the month what days they are available for the upcoming month and split up the Saturdays and Sunday.  Virginia is covering this Thursday evening, December 17 and Larissa is covering the Adoption Table on Sunday, December 27.  Coverage is needed for the Adoption Table on Saturday, December 19.  Leona does 1-3pm during winter months however I can change that to 2-4pm if you prefer.  In addition coverage is needed for Thursday, December 31, in the evening.

If you are interested in learning the logistics of the adoption table and are available to help weekends in January and February please let me know.  We can set up training at the Shelter or at PetSmart.

Coverage is still needed for every other Sunday starting December 27.  Joelle begins the alternating weeks on December 20.
