Friday Update!!

Lots going on with adoptions and arrivals!!  Gandolph went home where he will be the only pet in the house - with the exception of a parakeet.  (I might sleep with one eye open if I was that bird!) Chandler went home to a nice family and is gaining a Golden Doodle brother.  Figs and Goldie went to a home with another one of our cats, named Calvin, who was adopted from us from PetSmart in January of this year.  Some of you may remember Calvin.  The three will be sharing quarters in a home now!

Below are the six cats at the store right now.  Two others scheduled to go started with an upper respiratory infection so we need to wait for them to get better or choose others.

Rachel and Angel arrived last weekend.  Rachel is a playful little girl about five months old.  She arrived at the shelter in mid July at 10 weeks old.

Angel is another little girl about five months old.  She was trapped among many others in a colony where the caretaker had allowed many cats to reproduce.  She was sick for quite a while at the Shelter and then went into a foster home.  She may seem a tad shy at first but she is a friendly girl who loves attention!

Angel

Daphne, Finn, Georgette and Luna are being brought to the store today - Friday.  Litter mates Daphne and Finn would do well if they stayed together however it is not required.  They were trapped in an area where unfixed cats are reproducing and a kind soul is trying to get things under control.  They, too, were very sick when they first arrived at the Shelter and spent quite a while in our iso room.  Daphne is the more outgoing of the two.  Finn is not very fond of being held,  however is a nice boy!  How do you tell them apart?  Finn, the boy, is the bigger of the two.  Daphne is a petite little lady!

Georgette is a five year old torbi that is very sweet and very social.  She was surrendered to the Shelter in early August.  She needs a quiet home and will make a wonderful companion for the right person. Look at those eyes!

Luna was left behind by tenants in an apartment when they moved out.  The property owner called animal control to come pick her up.  She is sweet and loves people!!

Luna

As always - please allow the new guys to take the time they need to acclimate to their new surroundings.  Do not force them to mingle with the others.  Let them decide on their terms when they are ready to socialize!

We are still in need of people for the Sunday adoption table.  If you would like to be trained on the paperwork please let me know.  Remember - the Shelter is open during the hours of the adoption table so if you have any questions you can always call us.

In a couple of weeks we will be saying good bye to Jim and Eileen and then in November to Deb and Warren as they head for warmer climates.  They will all be missed and welcomed back warmly in the spring!  Wednesday mornings will be filled by Toni however I will be asking for help on Sunday mornings.

Cindy D will no longer be able to pre-cut the brown paper for us.  She is finishing up one last roll and will drop it off at the store.  If you are able to take this responsibility over let me know.  We will start taking care of this at the Shelter and transport the paper down.  Thank you, Cindy, for years of diligently cutting our rolls of paper to size!!

New Arrivals!

Introducing Pasta, Holly and Gandolf!  Pasta went home on Saturday so you may have already missed your window to meet him.  When that little guy came into the Shelter he was so loud and so persistent in his need for attention!!   You could hear him all through the Shelter!  He is joining two other cats - both under a year old - and a young couple.  He will be happy - and hopefully quiet!!

Gandolph is so handsome!  He is about three years old.  He was dumped at the home of a local animal control officer. Look at that face! He is great with people but not so great with other cats.  He wants all the human attention.  He may not do so well with dogs either.  Be careful letting him out to play.  Give him one on one time.

Holly is a little cutie that was found at a local business.  She is one of the easy ones that will acclimate to a home with other cats, kids and dogs.

Sunday, September 17, 2-4pm

Adoptions Continue!

Rocko and Mufasa are both going home today!  Rocko will be joining three humans, two dogs (German Shepherds) and three cats.  The family has adopted cats from us in the past.  Mufasa is joining two adults, a teenager and a dog (Labrador Retriever) who is mourning the passing of his feline buddy.  Seems like a good fit for him.

After receiving reports that Figs was experiencing some gastrointestinal distress he was brought back to the Shelter and observed by medical.  Whatever the issue appears to have been rectified so he was brought back.

Rockette arrived at PetSmart this morning.  She is a perfect cat!  She came into the Shelter initially as part of a managed colony of community cats.  After meeting her staff thought a better fit for her was as an inside pet!  She is about a year old and is going to make someone very happy!

Two More!

Two new guys arrived at Petsmart today - Mufasa and Goldie. 

Mufasa was trapped at the same location as Spencer and is just as nice!!  He is about four years old.  He will let you know when he has had enough of your petting - just like AJ - so watch how much attention you give him!  He would do best in a home with older kids and will be fine with other cats and dogs. 

Goldie is a cutie who has been with us since late May.  She was found all by herself at about six weeks old.  Her mom and any litter mates were never seen or located.  She loves to have a good time and plays rough! She will acclimate to a home with cats, kids and dogs.

Goldie

Bebob has an approved application and is leaving on Monday.  His new owner originally chose a cat at the Shelter however changed her mind when she met Bebop. 

Four new rolls of brown paper were placed at the store.  I have reached out to Cindy D to see if she can pick it up and cut the squares in advance. Until then I guess we are stuck cutting!  Sorry!!

Happy Labor Day weekend!!
