Boyz Get Adopted! Hello, Girlz!!

Fritz and Finnegan were adopted! Let's hope this is the beginning of placing a lot of cats and kittens into great homes!  We have missed this program!  Fritz and Finnegan left on Saturday.  They will be living in a house with an adult daughter and her mom.  Although they have had both dogs and cats in the past these two will be the only pets in the home at this time.  They are going to have a lot of space to run about!! 

Amy and Penny will arrive at the store on Wednesday, August 26.  These sweet sisters came into the Shelter in June and are about sixteen weeks old.  They are a little shy so a quieter home is best.

Please remember to send the adoptions home with the handmade blankies sewn by Larissa's friend!  They are in the cabinet.

This Four Puts Us Back In Business!!

πŸ’–HERE THEY ARE!!πŸ’–

Casper is a wonderful senior male who first came into the Shelter on April 29, 2010.  He was adopted five months later and led a happy life with several other cats until his owner passed away and he was brought back to us.  He came in on April 28 of this year - exactly 10 years after he came in the first time.  He is quite a gentleman and will make a lovely companion!  He is about 14 years old.

Fritz and Finnegan are brothers that were discovered in a shed with no mommy.  They have been practically hand raised and are wonderful!!  They are about 16 weeks old.  We would love to see them go home together!  Uh oh...how will you tell them apart?  Easy! Fritz will have on the black and gray collar and Finnegan will have on the blue and gray collar.

Allie is a sweetheart about four years old.  Sadly her owner can no longer take care of her. Fortunately someone aware of the situation contacted the Shelter to make sure she would be okay.  She has been an indoor cat and the only one in her home so she is not crazy about other cats. She came into the Shelter in mid-July. (This is not a great picture!  She really is a lovely cat!)

Hopefully we begin to have the same level of success with adoptions that we have had at the Shelter!  Please look ahead at the calendar and let me know if you can cover any of the dates that are open.

Welcome back and thank you!!

Working On Getting Back!

I hope this finds you all well!! We are working on getting cats back to the PetSmart store.  As you know an email was sent out to all the volunteers a couple of weeks ago to see who would be interested in returning.  Almost 100% of our volunteers said yes!!  

Since Covid precautions were implemented in late March the Shelter has continued to do both dog and cat adoptions with great success.  Pr-approved adoption applications are required.  Once the application has been received, reviewed and approved an appointment is made for the applicant to meet the cat or dog.  Masks are required to be worn by everyone involved - staff, volunteers, adoption applicants and their family members.  

This same process will take place at Petsmart with absolutely no exceptions. If someone is interested in adopting a cat from PetSmart they will need to email the Shelter for an adoption application which can be returned via FAX, email or regular mail.   Once the application has been approved an appointment will be made and the applicant will meet staff or a volunteer and meet the cat. If that goes well arrangements will be made to get the paperwork completed and the cat be sent home.  The preferred method of payment is by credit card over the phone. Signage explaining the process will be posted at the store. 

Our first day back will be Friday, August 14.  The first volunteer scheduled for a cleaning will be Lisa and Sarah on Saturday morning, August 15. Our plan is to start with four cats and see how this all goes. Volunteers are required to wear a mask while they are in the store.  The mask may be removed ONLY if the volunteer is alone in the adoption room and the door is locked.  Volunteers are not permitted to allow anyone into the adoption room unless the person has an approved application and an appointment.   

Please check the link to the schedule at the right and make sure I have scheduled you as you requested.  If you are a volunteer who prefers to fill in rather than have a steady schedule please let me know what dates you can do in August and September. Please note that there will not be a scheduled Adoption Table.  All dates and times are cleaning and feeding only.

Thank you all for being so ready to come back and help!!  Just another step in getting back to normal!
