Let's' Get Caught Up!!

It's time to get caught up on recent adoptions and new arrivals! Lots going on!  

Flip Flop and Salsa went home together two weeks ago.  They are joining a nice little family that is a mom, an eight year old girl, two young cats and two dogs.  Looks like a lot going on in this house!  The more the merrier, right?

Hugo was adopted two days later by an older single woman who could not wait to bring him home.  She has a great support system of cat loving friends that helped her welcome Hugo home.

Cindy Lou was adopted at the end of last week.  She is joining an older couple and a thirteen year old cat.  They were so excited to adopt her!

Zelda and Momma are senior cats.  Zelda is Momma's daughter.  Momma is 14 and Zelda is thirteen.  Their owner, an elderly woman, was unable to continue to care for them.  Cats this age are always overlooked at the Shelter.  Hopefully a kind soul sees them at PetSmart and is ready to open their home to a couple of seniors.

York and Hampton came into the Shelter this month after their owner died.  This bonded pair really need to be adopted together.  They are about six months old.

Princess was surrendered by her owner at the beginning of this month because she was not playing well with the children in the house.  They said she was too rough. She is reportedly good with other cats but not dogs.  Sounds like she needs a quiet household!

Nike has the age old story - cat stuck in a tree and saved by firemen!!  Last month he was brought down from a tree by responding firemen.  This little adventure seeker is just under a year old.

We continue to need help with the evening cleanings on weekend.  Please let me know if you are available to cover any of them.

Today is the first day of summer! 
Enjoy the longest day of the year!

The Boys Got A Home!!

Dallas and Driscoll were adopted together!  They left the store on Saturday and will be the only pets under the care of an adult couple.  The adopter has recently bought a house and was ready for a couple of cats.  This is great news!

Bullseye left on Monday and was headed straight for Alexandria, Virginia where he will live with another cat and one human.  He sure did not last long!

Two cats arrived at the store on Tuesday: Jedi and Meeko. 

Meeko is a three year old sweet boy who came into the Shelter in January as a stray. He was trapped under a house with another cat. They were snuggling together for warmth.  The other cat had a microchip and was reclaimed by the owner.  Sadly the owners did not want another cat so did not also take Meeko.  He was neutered at intake and has a small eartip so someone was taking care of him at one point.  He may be shy at first but warms up quickly and becomes quite affectionate.   He would do well in a home with other pets and older children. 

Jedi is a one year old, very playful, smart boy! He came into the Shelter in November of last year at about six months old. He is from a feral cat colony where the caretaker was no longer available to feed. He has been domesticated by the Shelter staff. He loves other cats!  A new home may be a bit scary for him at first but with patience he will be a great companion.

Hugo is back at the Shelter.  He was continually rubbing his eye against the cage door and it became quite irritated.  He is fine!

Please take a look at the schedule and let me know if you can cover any of the available days in June.
