Eight New Arrivals!

The run on adoptions right before Christmas was great!  And, the best was saved for last...Olivia went home the Sunday before Christmas!  Finally!  Staff went to the store and gave the cages a good cleaning and a list of new arrivals was prepared.  Eight amazing cats arrived today.  Here they are....

Snowflake came into the Shelter in mid June as a stray kitten.  She is now about seven months old.  She did spend some time in a foster home with her litter mates and a couple of kids.  There was a dog in the house however she did not interact with him.

Mason is going to make someone the best companion ever!!  This two year old super guy came into the Shelter in late September.  His original older could not take care of him and gave him to a family member.  That family member was not in a position to care for Mason so brought him to the Shelter.  He is super friendly and will acclimate to a household with cats, kids and dogs.

Littermates Sven and Gerda came into the Shelter in early August along with two other littermates.  As is often the case - the littermates that are not black are chosen first.  It happens all the time.  It would be nice to see these two go home together however it is not necessary.  These two friendly cats are about seven months old.

Pearl came into the Shelter in late October and is about ten months old. She was living in an outside colony of cats and fortunately her caretaker recognized her as great candidate for a house cat!  She will make a nice little friend for someone.

Thackery and Max were brought to the Shelter in late October.  Both are about six months.  Someone in the neighborhood was actually threatening to harm these two and two others if they were left to roam.  All four were brought to the Shelter.

Jack looks a mess but he is actually a survivor!  He is the only one who made it through a bout of feline distemper.  The rest of his mates did not make it...neither did mom.  His eye looks damaged but is ok.  He appears wobbly but he is a really a feisty little fella! He is just under six months old and will acclimate to any environment.

So there you have it...the new crew! Cleanings are back to normal.  The 2019 calendar has been updated.  Please take a look and let me know if I need to change anything.  Help is still needed every other Saturday morning and every Sunday morning.  Most Saturdays Judy M is covering the adoption table.  Sunday adoption tables almost always need coverage.

As we close 2018 I would like to say a HUGE heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you guys that help with this program.  I repeatedly tell you how important this Adoption Center is to the Shelter.  We need to place six cats for every dog which is quite a challenge.  This outlet helps us keep our head above water!  Remember the Starfish Story and keep making a difference one by one!
