Catching Up Before Christmas!

I must apologize for falling behind in the blog!  Every once in a while things start to spiral out of control and time flies by!

The two cats below were brought to the store on Friday, December 11:

Sweet little Tess is about nine months old.  She came in as a stray in early November.

 

Tess

Robert is just over a year old.  This young man showed up at a managed colony and was bullying the other cats!  When he came into the Shelter staff saw that although he was a little scared and shy he was not feral and would domesticate.  After a couple weeks he showed us we were right!  He is playful and friendly and just may walk right onto your shoulders!

 Robert

George was brought back to the Shelter due to what appears to be an eye injury.  He is doing great and will be back at the store in a few days.

Gizmo was adopted and is headed for the Lone Star State!  That's right - he is Texas bound!  He was adopted by a young man who is just finishing a term in the Coast Guard and then headed home.  We called his mom in Texas to make sure she knew her son was not arriving home alone.  She was quite aware and stated she was excited to meet her grandcat!  

We have a couple of openings coming up to conclude 2020.  (I suspect most folks are ready to see this year end!!)  If you can cover any of the below dates let me know:

I will be setting up the 2021 calendar! 

New Arrivals, Adoptions and Great News!

Great news, everybody!!  Mr. Skinny Bones was adopted!  He left the Shelter on Wednesday and has settled in and is doing well.  It is a perfect match - an elderly man who lives alone was looking for a companion.  They are now two bachelors keeping one another company!

Rebecca left from PetSmart yesterday!  She is joining a three generation household with a nine year old Labrador retriever named Sweetie.  There are two teenage kids in the house.  Rebecca is going to have very nice kitty cat life!

Three cats arrived at the store yesterday. 

George and Gizmo are brothers that came into the Shelter in late October of this year.  They are about six months old.  They came in as part of a local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) location - however they were nice and adoptable so we kept them and now they are available for adoption!  They are not bonded with another so do not need to go together.  They are both sweet!  George will play shy however will warm up quickly.  He actually hugs!  Gizmo purrs like crazy and likes to be held.

Gizmo

Pretty Jasmine came into the Shelter in early October through animal control wearing an old pink work collar.  We are not very sure on details.  We were told she bit her owner over food on the floor.  We have not seen any aggressive behavior from her and have had her for two months.   If we did she would not be at PetSmart!  We have seen a sweet cat that will tolerate living with other cats, however likes being a diva, too! She is about one year old now.
