Farewell, Old Man! We are happy for you!

The very last adoption out of PetSmart was Solomon.  He went to a big family - Mom, Dad, three adult children, a Chihuahua named Chico and another cat named Constance.  They were so excited to add him to their family!

Phoebe arrived at the store yesterday.  She is a sweetheart with a hard luck story.  She was adopted last year from us - from PetSmart, actually,  so many of you may remember her.  She was part of what we called the "Friends" litter - Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Chandler.  Phoebe and Joey were adopted to a young couple last summer.  A couple weeks a woman came into the shelter carrying a cat she claimed to have found.  The cat was obviously suffering from a skin infection around her eyes, head and belly.  It was quite raw and scabbing.  Well, after scanning the "found" cat for a microchip we discovered Phoebe was a previous adoption from us.  We notified the adopter who told us he gave away Phoebe and Joey as they were not doing well with his dog.  Lo and behold - he gave the cats to the very same woman who "found" our Phoebe.  The "founder" was notified and animal control was sent to the property to make sure Joey was ok - which he is.  Phoebe was treated for the skin issue and now needs to go to a REAL forever home. She is a sweetheart and will be fine in a home with kids and other cats.  As far as dogs - we do not know if the dog didn't like the cats or the cats didn't like the dogs.

We have received two applications for Boots -  unfortunately we had to deny both.  Boots can be quite temperamental.  She was surrendered because she was showing some annoyance and biting her previous owner.  Boots gets to a point where she has had it.  We have seen it at the Shelter.  Other cats will get her to point where she becomes aggressive.  This is all quite common of declawed cats as they get older.  Maybe because they now have arthritis in those joints that were cut, or bone spurs.  Discomfort could be making her cranky.   So,  PLEASE,  take our word for it and do not allow other cats to have access to her. 

If you are available to do the morning cleaning on this Sunday (March 25) please let me know.  Take a look at the April calendar and let me know if you can fill in on any of the days where help is needed.
