Happy New Year, All! The end of 2021 was good for our PetSmart cats! Lots of litter mates went home together. At the end of November Mufasa, Sarabi and Kiara went home together. In December Tater Tot and Russett went home together, Rogue, Phoenix and Mystique left together and Finn and Haddie left together. That's a lot of litters staying a family!
Oreo and Chess left today and are joining an older Chihuahua and younger cat, mom and day and a nine year old child. It is so nice when bonded litter mates go together.
Four cats arrived today at PetSmart - two sets of litter mates. They are Oscar and Serena, and Driscoll and Dallas. Let's hope the trend continues and they get to go home together. Please let potential adopters know that the fee is waived for the second cat when you adopt litter mates.
Driscoll and Dallas arrived at the Shelter in mid-June last summer. At that time we estimated their age to be eight weeks. They were scared little boys however have come around. They have been living in a cage for the last six months so remember that is their "safe" space. They do not like to be picked up and will struggle and be wiggle worms if you try. They love wet food!! Whoever adopts them will quickly win them over with it! (In the picture below Dallas is the kitten on top and Driscoll is in the litter box.)
Oscar and Serena are brother and sister and came into the Shelter in June of last summer as well at about eight weeks old. They are left from an initial litter of five. The person who found them fostered all five so they are sweet and social! You can tell them apart by their eyes. Serena has yellow eyes and Oscar has copper colored eyes.

The calendar for 2022 has been completed. Take a look at it and let me know if I made any mistakes on your dates. Please let me know if you are available to cover any of the open dates. We continue to have difficulty getting the evening cleanings covered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Thank you all very much for your help throughout 2021. Petsmart is so important to the Shelter! The Shelter needs to place nine cats for every dog. It is a challenge and every year we meet that challenge because all of you help us by volunteering at the adoption center. Here's to a good year!!
