Playing Catch Up!!

Since it has been some time since the last blog update this will hopefully catch us all up...

Sarafina left last Friday with a very excited new mom!  This family adopted from us a few years ago and have always had two cats.  They recently lost a fourteen year old cat to thyroid disease and decided to adopt again.

Gladiolus and Gardenia left a week ago with a great young family - mom, dad, an eight month old baby and seven year old cat. 

Since they have not received a proper introduction I will do it now...  Below are the cats that you all have either met or will meet:

Billy is about six months old and is incredibly cute!  He is all boy, for sure!  He will do well in a house with other cats, kids and even dogs.
Billy the Cutie
Peanut is a wonderful playful little boy!  As I said in my last email - we did receive an application for Peanut, however the plan was to have him declawed!  Yes, people still do that!  This little guy is another kitten who will do well in any household.

Spunky Peanut
Dotson was fortunate enough to have spent the last year under the care of a kind man who saw him hanging around outside in the spring on 2015 and started taking care of him.  He was taken to the vet and checked and subsequently became the resident inside/outside cat.  Sadly, Dotson's caretaker passed away so once again he has found himself without a home and in need of a family.   He is about seven years old and is a lap cat.  Hopefully a second kind person gentleman is out there looking for a companion and will see this story!

Mona is a one year old pretty little cat who came into the Shelter after giving birth to four kittens.  All four have been adopted and now it is her turn.  She was a typical mom - took care of the little ones before thinking of herself!  She is wonderful and will make a great companion.

Luscious, as most of you know, was adopted a while back.  Sadly she was returned when one of the new owners had a severe allergic reaction and had to go to the hospital.  To quote the owner when Luscious was returned, "I wish my husband wasn't allergic because I would keep her in a heartbeat."  Such a shame!!  As you may recall Luscious was originally adopted from us a couple years ago and then left behind when the owners moved.    Keep your paws crossed that the third time is the charm!!  She is about five years old.
Lonely Luscious
Most of you already know Daisy the Dumped Diva who has been at PetSmart for quite some time now.  She was surrendered to the Shelter in November of 2015 after FOURTEEN years with the same owner.  Yes, you are reading that correctly.  Her owner got her as a kitten and after fourteen years dropped her at the Shelter when she moved stating she could not take her.  Wow. Who does something like that?   So, if Daisy acts a little grumpy maybe she deserves a pass.

So, there you have it - a synopsis on all the guys presently at PetSmart.  Expect two new additions by the weekend.

Below are the last remaining dates that need to be covered.  We made MAJOR progress on filling the dates!! You guys really are great and such a huge help to the Shelter!!

All remaining dates are Sunday Adoption Tables - August 7, 14, 28
