Latest Adoptions

Misty and Boots left on Saturday to two different homes.  Misty is now living with a thirteen year old cat in a multi-generation household of five adults where she will receive a lot of attention!  Boots finally has gone to her forever home - where she will be the only cat living with a dad and his daughter.  They had adopted a cat named Emmy from us a couple of years ago that developed health problems and passed away within a year.  They were both so very nice and took such good care of Emmy. We know first hand Boots landed with a great family.

Three cats were brought down to the store last Friday...Swirls, Friskie and Little Fuzz. All three are fine with other cats and will acclimate easily to most environments.

Swirls is a young adult male that was found in the Cape May County Park actually wearing a leash and collar!  No one ever came looking for him.  He is micro chipped however the phone number listed with the chip is out of service.  Do not be alarmed by lumps you may feel on his sides.  Our vet has assured us the lumps are not hernias nor anything to be concerned about.  We did bring Swirls back to the Shelter today since it was reported he was having difficulty urinating. We are going to keep an eye on him for a day or two and decide if he can go back or if he has a urinary infection.

Little Fuzz is a two year old female that was part of an inside/outside group of cats belonging to the landlord of a rental property.  The tenants who had accepted the cats moved and the new tenants are  not so cat friendly.  The landlord took Little Fuzz and her brother Big Fuzz home for the winter months but would no longer keep them. Big Fuzz has been adopted. Little Fuzz is friendly and will make someone a nice pet!

Friskie has a history we will never know.  She first came into the Shelter in July of 2009.  She was only three months old and part of a managed colony.  She was socialized at the time and we felt it best to find her a home rather than return her to the colony.  She was subsequently transferred to a local rescue.  Prior to transfer a microchip was implanted.  On May 21st of this year we received a call from the Atlantic County Shelter that a cat with a microchip originating from our Shelter had been picked up by Animal Control and was in their shelter.  We picked up Friskie.  A check of our records revealed the transfer - however that rescue no longer had adoption records and the chip had never been registered by the adopter. Nine years later Friskie is back where she started from.

Please take a look at the calendar as a couple of unforeseen circumstances have led to two regular spots being available for the remainder of the summer.  Saturday Adoption Tables will need coverage as well as Sunday mornings.  Judy M and Deb & Warren will let me know as soon as they are able to return.  Cathy Tc will no longer be able to do every other Friday morning.  (Thank you for your help over the years, Cathy!!)  If you have any friends or family interested in joining us let me know!

Gentle reminder...please make sure to email the shelter (animal.shelter@cmcsheriff.net AND cc me daviesdunhour@comcast.net) on any observed health issues with the cats or logistical problems or anything.  If you call the Shelter please email the information as well when you get the first opportunity.  It really helps us to maintain communication and make sure that nothing falls through the cracks or gets lost in a message that may be repeated several times.
