New Arrivals!!

Meet the new guys...Acer and Aaron! Both are cute little guys!  They will not last long!

Acer is a five month old kitten who came into the Shelter earlier this month.  This playful boy will give you kisses when you pick him up!

Aaron is another little boy but a tad older than Acer.  He is about ten months old and came into the Shelter also in early October from a local campground. Who says all cats are aloof?!!  Not this guy! Aaron is needy in a good way!  He will reach out of the cage to get your attention and if that doesn't work he'll start to meow to make you notice him! 

Thank you to those who have responded so and volunteered for additional dates in November! 

Several rolls of brown paper were brought to the store on Friday so the stock has been replenished!

Adoption Updates!

Archie went home last Wednesday to join his previously adopted brother, Ace.  Ace has assured him he has landed in a wonderful home!!

Hera left a couple days ago.  She is joining an adult couple with no children and no pets.  She is guaranteed to get ALL the attention!!

Stephanie and Sylvester left together on Friday.  They are joining a father and his young adult son.  There are no other pets in their home.  The son was so excited to hear their application was approved!!

Amy Apple has an approved application and is being picked up tomorrow - Tuesday, October 27.  She will be joining a family consisting of an adult couple, two adult children, a teenager and a three year old cat named Milo.  Amy Apple is going to become BFFs with her new mom - a 21 year old girl in the house!

New cats and kittens will be headed to the store this week.  

Tisha may have a leg injury.  It was reported she is not putting weight on her right front leg.  If you see this is still continuing, is better or getting worse please let me know.  

I apologize to those who I have confused,  annoyed  or inconvenienced due to scheduling mix ups.  To explain - I often see emails on my phone and mean to answer or update the schedule however neglect to follow through!  Please keep an eye on the schedule and let me know when I mess up!

Special thanks to Lauren for making a QR code that will take interested adopters right to our adoption application on our website!  It is displayed at the adoption center at Petsmart.   Lauren is also an administrator to the new Facebook page called Cats of Petsmart.  Please LIKE the page and send an invitation to all of your "friends" and help get the word out.

Please look a head to November and let me know if you can cover any dates. 

 

Lots of Adoptions!!

Adoptions have been going really well this month!  The Shelter is so thankful for the commitment and  time put in by each and every one of our volunteers!!  So here is the rundown...

Ace went home to live with one of our volunteers and is living a good life!! There is talk of Archie joining him....  We'll see!! 

Ace

As you know...Fruit Loop and Cheerio went home together.  They are now part of a family that consists of a young couple, a dog and two senior cats.  Ava went to a quiet home with a single woman and a five year old cat named Kibbi.  She settled in well and will have a wonderful life!  Neo and Morpheus went home together, too.  They are now living with a single man who said he needed company...well,  he now has company!!

Remember Casper?  He was a volunteer favorite.  He is doing well in his home where he gets to snooze by the window in the sunshine!  He looks so sweet and so comfy!!

Five cats arrived at PetSmart yesterday - Tuesday.  Here they all are...

Skinny Bones is a senior cat who first came into the shelter in 2017 as a stray.  He was adopted a couple of months later where he lived happily for the past few years.  Unfortunately his owner brought him back to the Shelter as he is moving and can not take him. Skinny Bones qualifies for our Senior For Senior Adoption Program.  There is no fee if he is adopted by an applicant over the age of 62.

Sylvester and Stephanie are litter mates that came into the Shelter in late August at about ten weeks old.  They are now approximately four months old.  They did spent a short amount of time in a foster home.  They appear a bit shy at first however they are very playful and love cavorting together!

Little Amy Apple is somewhere around a year old.   She looks like a kitten.  She came into the Shelter as stray at the end of May.  The owner of the property where she was trapped offered to allow her to live outside there but we thought she was more of a house cat than a TNR cat!

Look at this little cutie named Tisha!  She came into the Shelter with her mom and litter mates at the end of June.  Today she is about six months old.  She is a tad shy so would do better in a quiet home where she will sit and love being fussed over!

As always - give the new arrivals an opportunity to settle in.  The move from the Shelter to PetSmart can be stressful for the cats.  In addition to the move they are exposed to lots of people including dogs and kids that move quickly toward them at the windows.  Read their body language and do not force them to do anything.  Each cat will adjust at their own individual pace.

Welcome back, Toni!!  Thank you for picking up Thursday mornings!

Below are dates for the remainder of October that need to be filled.  Let me know if you are available.  The calendar is updated as people respond.

New Arrivals!

Fruit Loop and Cheerio were adopted!  They will be going home tomorrow.  They will be joining a big family consisting of a young human couple, two ten year old cats, and seven month old puppy.

CORRECTION!  Ava is the cat with the leg injury and Archie is the one remaining at PetSmart.  There was a mix up and we brought back the wrong paperwork with her. 

New guys arrived today!!  Two are litter mates about five months old and the other is a single little girl about six months old.

The two litter mates are Neo and Morpheus.They came into the Shelter in the beginning of July from a location where a feeder continually fails to cooperate and TNR.  Neighbors monitor her situation and get kittens when they can.  These two boys are quite handsome!  They do not need to go home together.

 

Neo

Morpheus

Look at this face!!  Is she precious or what! She came into the Shelter in July along with litter mates.  Sadly Hera is from a situation similar to Morpheus and Neo.  We did get her mom and dad fixed and they were returned.

Help is still needed for this Sunday, October 4, for the evening cleaning.  Please let me know if you are available.  Also please look ahead at the rest of the month.
