Onyx went home last night to a big group! He gained a senior feline brother named Max, mom and dad, and two teenage human siblings. He is going to have a nice life! Happy tails, Onyx!
I know you are all anxious for new cats to come to the store. This is always an add time of year. At the Shelter we have the teenage cats left from last year's kitten season that are nervous or shy and are not good candidates for the activity and stress of PetSmart, kittens that are too young to go just yet and Barn Buddies. Fortunately a local rescue is adopting several Barn Buddies next week which will help a lot with that population.
Just so you know should you meet the applicant at the adoption table... A young woman put in an application for Ella over the weekend. She called to check on her application twice on Monday however I had yet to review it. She called a third time so I reviewed the application while she was on hold. She lives with her parents and the application did not include approval from them (the homeowners) to adopt a cat. When told she had to submit that approval and could do so via email, letter, call, etc, she became very upset that she was not advised of this during the first phone call. After a few minutes of an unpleasant conversation she hung up on me. She has not contacted the Shelter since. It is unfortunate how it ended however she did sign the form that indicates this is a requirement of adoption.
