May Brings Four Cats!

Here they are - four new arrivals! Dylan, Hannah, Delaney and Nala.  Gentle reminder...please go slowly with the new guys as they become accustomed to their new environment.  The most stressful time for a cat is when they change environment.  Move slowly and talk quietly and do not force them to come out or to interact with other the cats.  Let them move along at their own pace.

We transferred Flower to the Animal Adoption Center in Lindenwald.  She is fabulous and has been overlooked for way too long.  She will do well with the change in circumstances and most likely get a home quickly.

Dylan and Delaney are litter mates about seven months old.  They came from a situation in Beesley's Point where there was several unfixed cats.  They will be a tad shy and nervous at first but will be fine. Delaney is the least shy of the two. They were fostered for a while with one of our staff so they have lived in a house.  They would be best suited for a home without young kids and without dogs.   If someone is looking to adopt two cats suggest keeping these two together.  The adoption fee of $70.00 will cover both.

Hannah is a senior lady about nine years old.  She showed up one day and a Good Samaritan began to feed her.  Eventually she came to us and we discovered she was spayed.  We posted her on our Facebook page and tried to find her home but to no avail.  Hannah qualifies for the Senior For Senior Adoption Program.

Nala was trapped along with other cats in a TNR colony and it was discovered she was a nursing mom.  She was brought back to the colony and released to join her kittens. After the kittens could eat on their own they were all trapped. Nala enjoys when a fuss is made over her!  She is about two years old.

***VERY IMPORTANT ***  The food in the bin needs to be the PetSmart Brand - Authority - Chicken & Rice Formula  HAIRBALL CONTROL.  Below is a picture of what the bag looks like.  Today staff emptied what was in the bin and replaced it with this product.  Ella ate this just fine at the Shelter and it helps with her grooming.  There is no need to feed her wet food. She is a grazer, too, and will snack slowly.  Also, it just seems terrible to feed wet food to just one of the cats!  The others must go nuts! While at the store we gave Ella a little pile of the hairball formula and she chomped away on it!   (We are receiving an application for Ella as I type this so hopefully that becomes a non issue anyway.  The applicant met Ella last night and it would be a Senior For Senior.)

A couple of the shifts sent out last week have been covered.  Below are the dates that still need someone:
Saturday, May 5, AM Cleaning AND Adoption Table
Sunday, May 13, AM Cleaning AND Adoption Table
Saturday, May 19, AM Cleaning
Sunday, May 20, Adoption Table
Sunday, May 27, AM Cleaning AND Adoption Table

And a reminder - please do not put any indication on a cage that an application is pending or discourage additional applications in any way. We continue to take applications until a cat goes home.  Many, many times applications fall through.  It ain't over til it's over!!
