Preston Heads Home, Brownie Recovering, Two New Arrivals

Preston went home last Wednesday afternoon.  He will be living with another cat - one that is twelve years old.  In addition he will live with an elderly woman who lives alone however is visited daily by her granddaughter.  The granddaughter - an older teenager - is very excited about helping her grandmother take care of Preston.  Three generations showed up at the store to pick him up!

Brownie has an approved application but is still at the Shelter.  She was on antibiotics for upper respiratory and that has cleared up.  The approved adopter is planning to pick her up from the Shelter on Friday.  She lives in Gloucester County so needs to plan the trip.

Two new guys were brought to the store last week, Peach and George.

Peach is a male about six months old.  (Yes - I agree...Peach is a female name!  Don't blame me!! I am told the name stuck since he is peach colored. )  He came in along with a litter in September.  He did spend a little bit of time in a foster home.  He may be a little timid but will settle in.

We were sad to see George come back.  He was adopted from the Shelter two years ago along with his litter mate Jerry.  At the time of their adoption they were going on two years at the Shelter.  We were so happy to see them get a home.  Well, the adopter put them outside because "they were destroying the house."  A neighbor called animal control and had them picked up and brought back to us.  I did speak with the adopter who stated she could no longer care for George and Jerry.
