March Has Arrived! Here Comes Spring!

We have made it through over two months of winter!  Spring will be here in less than three weeks.  With Spring comes "Kitten Season."  If you know of anyone or hear of anyone who has unfixed cats - male or female - and they live in Cape May County have them contact the shelter to arrange for the cats to be spayed or neutered.    We have several programs and can help them.  We can help with inside cats and outside community cats.

Three cats left in the last week!  Poirot, Ginger and Stella.  Great week!

Poirot left last Sunday.  He is joining a four month old kitten, mom, dad and a five year old daughter.  This was actually the second application for him - the first one was pulled as the applicant decided not to adopt him after all.  This is why we keep taking application until the cat goes home.  This little family was very pleased to adopt him after all!

Stella has a lot going on in her new home!  She left this past Saturday and is joining a young cat (about nine months old), an older Dachshund and a young Border Collie.  She is also joining six adults in the household - ages 18 to 52.  There will be no shortage of attention.

Ginger also left on Saturday.  She is gaining a feline sister who is seven years old as well as a family of four humans - all adults. Ginger's primary caretaker is a young woman who is very excited to have her!

Below are the new cats that arrived a couple days ago: Cosmo, Bourbon and Gwen.

Bourbon and Cosmo are ten month old males that came into together in late June of last year.  They were born outside and were about eight weeks old at that time.  They are a bit nervous so will not be "instant pet" however they are playful and young and happy!  They do not need to go together but best case scenario they do!  They are difficult to tell apart.  Bourbon has a thinner face, where Cosmo's is a tad rounder.  Please go slow with them!

Gwen is a lovely older girl that will make a nice companion!  Sadly her owner could no longer care for her.  She is definitely a lap cat!  She is about twelve years old.  She will be fine with other cats and is a sweetheart!

Please take a look at the March schedule and let me know what you can do.  I'll send reminders each week for that particular time - however feel free to schedule throughout the months.

Stay healthy, everyone!  An end is in sight! This is not the time to let your guard down!!
