Benny and Jackal went home Wednesday night. Benny will be living with two small dogs - a Chihuahua and a Papillion - an older cat, two adults and four children ages 15, 8, 4 and 3. He certainly will not be lacking companionship or attention! Jackal will be living with a single young man who was said he needed a new friend!
Tye Dye was not doing so well at the store so we brought her back to the Shelter. She was starting to swat at volunteers and showing signs of stress. She will be fine at the Shelter with us!
Five cats arrived yesterday. Special thanks to Jim and Eileen for having the cages all set up and ready to go as instructed!
Hershey and Reeses were placed in the big cage and need to stay together forever. Their human mom owner passed away a couple months ago. She had lost her husband a year or so before. These seven year old littermates lived with an older couple who have adult children and grandchildren who would visit often. They would sit outside on the porch with their mom and dad and not wander off. They are lap cats that are accustomed to sleeping together in bed with their owner. They must be so sad. Hopefully someone sees them soon and takes them home together. A $20 adoption fee would cover both cats.

Stallone was originally adopted from us in 2012. The owner's parents moved in with her and they are allergic to cats so out the door he went. This 12 year old stud is good with older kids, dogs and other cats. He is a purring machine that loves attention. He does prefer not to be picked up. He will come to you and hang out next to or with you and purr away. He qualifies for our
Senior For Senior Adoption Program.

Louie is a young male under a year old looking for an active home. His original owners were unable to care for him so they gave him to a friend. That friend kept Louie for a couple of months however her son is allergic to cats so she could not keep him. We are not sure how he would do with other cats or dogs however most likely it would not be a problem.

Yoda came from a cat colony at a local marina that was growing in size. He has a clipped ear because originally he was going to be returned however we decided he would do better as a house cat. He is a year old. He did spend time with other cats. We do not know how he will react to dogs.

As always - do not be quick to open the door between cages or to force these cats to immediately socialize with one another. Give them time to settle in and relax. Remember, they are dealing with the stress of close to 12 hours of customers, noise, dogs and a two different people daily arriving to take care of them. It is a lot to handle. Go slow.
