Catch Up Time!

August has been a great month for our cats at PetSmart!  A total of ten cats went home between August 2 and August 26. There are probably some cats that left that many of you did not even get an opportunity to meet. Let's see who you remember...  Happy tails to Loofah, Q-Tip, Barron, Gabel, Hershey & Reeses (YAY!!), Becca, Murphy, Spencer and Hamlet.  It was so nice to see Hershey and Reeses go home together where they will be the only pets.  Becca went home with a PetSmart employee! Good for her!

Below are the cats presently at the store.  Two more are scheduled to arrive by the end of the week.  

Figs (male) and Francine (female) are litter mates that came from a local rehabilitation center where the clients and residents feed outside cats.  A volunteer has been trapping there, spaying and neutering adults to bring back and removing adoptable kittens and cats.  They are about three months old and spent some time in one of our foster homes.  These two are nice little kittens that will adapt to any home! (We did just receive an application for them however it still needs to be reviewed.)

Figs

Francine

Rocko and Rori are two boys that appear to have been dumped at a local TNR colony.  All the adults at the colony were altered years ago so it is a mystery where they came from.  Sadly, this is a by product of managed colonies. They are about three months old and should adapt to any home environment.

Rori

Rocco

Cleo is a female about seven years old.  Her cage card says her adoption fee is $35.00 however it should be $20.00.  She is friendly girl that will acclimate to a home with other pets.  Someone brought her to the Shelter in late June claiming they found her.

Bepop is a boy about five months old.  He came from an area with many unaltered outside cats.  We have been trying for some time to get the situation under control however it has been very difficult.  He is a nice little guy that will make a great house pet!  Look at that face!!

So there you have it - the latest six residents.  Let's hope the adoptions keep up at this pace!  Usually things slow down a bit when school initially goes back in session.  We'll see what happens!

Welcome to four new volunteers - Liz, Viktoria & Melissa (mother/daughter team) and Paula!  They trained two weeks ago with Crystal from the Shelter.  It is always nice to have some extra help!  Liz will be filling the regular every other Monday time slot and the others will fill in as needed. 

TWO IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
1) Please do not over feed.  The cats only requires a half a cup of food twice a day.  Bowls should never be filled all the way to the top.  Volunteers go in twice a day so believe me a cat is not going to starve!  We do not want to be throwing food away and increasing the budget for Petsmart.
2) Any medical issue you observe PLEASE email the shelter and Judy directly - as well as note it in the book.  Email animal.shelter@cmcsheriff.net AND daviesdunhour@comcast.net

The September calendar looks great!!  There are only four openings and all are adoption tables.  The time for the Adoption Table is usually 2-4pm, however we can change the two hour time period to accommodate your schedule..  The open dates are:

Sundays, September 3, 17 and 24
Saturday, September 9
