Liberty and Casper Go Home!

Casper has been adopted and is in his new home as you read this!  He has joined a multi-cat household with a kind and compassionate woman who works in a vet office.  Things could not look better for him!  Thank you all for caring so much about him.

Liberty has also been adopted and will be living with a dog and five kids!  Looks like she will be getting a ton of attention.

A family with four kids (ages 11 through 17) have submitted an application for Amy and Penny.  They will be meeting the kittens at 2:00pm on Friday, September 11 with a staff member.  If they bond the kittens will be headed to Holland, Pennsylvania!

Three cats were brought to the store today.  Waddles, Waffles and Marvel.

Marvel lives up to his name and is a marvel-ous cat!  He will make a fabulous family pet!  He came into the Shelter in mid-July after being found at Lake Nummy in Belleplain State Forest.  He came in neutered however not microchipped.  He is about two years old.  He will be adopted quickly!

Waffles (female) and Waddles (male) are shy and will need a quiet understanding home.  They do not need to be adopted together.  They came into the Shelter in mid-June at about twelve weeks old - which puts them at about six months old now.  They were trapped at the Walmart in Rio Grande as part of a Trap-Neuter-Return project.  They were too young to be put back.  Kittens that are not handled by people very early in their lives can take a long time to trust people and not be afraid.  Please take your time with these two and let them settle in at their own pace.  Do not force them out to play or force yourself on them. Of the two, Waddles, the long haired male, is the best with people.  Waffles is the shy one of the two. 

 
IMPORTANT: The notebook at the Adoption Center is there so the volunteers can share information with each other.  If you note a medical issue or behavioral issue in the notebook you also need to email the Shelter at animal.shelter@cmcsheriff.net with "Attention Medical" in the subject.  Always cc me at daviesdunhour@comcast.net on those emails.  Staff are not goingto PetSmart daily so we are not aware of medical issues unless we are emailed.  Note the condition observed in the notebook to make the other volunteers aware of it and note that you have or will be emailing the Shelter.  Thank you!!
