Gilligan left Petsmart over the weekend.  He joined a family with mom and dad, two kids and three cats.  They are all very excited about adding him to their household.  Sadly they did not take Ginger, too.  The family always has four cats and recently one passed away.  They would not make it five. 😢

Ginger did have an approved application however it did not work out.  The family has a an active six year old girl that made Ginger quite anxious when they met.  Our Ginger needs a quiet home that will allow her to move at her own pace.  She is so pretty!  Her time will come!

Below are the dates for the remainder of February that need coverage.  They are all evenings.  Please let me know if you can cover any of them.

EVENINGS:

Hello To The new Arrivals!

Introducing the new guys: Ginger, Gilligan and Nigel.

Nigel is a nice boy who came into the shelter in late June of last year.  He is just under a year old and came in from a managed colony of community cats.  He will be a little shy at first so give him a chance to settle in. He is a curious little guy as the photo clearly shows!!

Nigel

And then there is Ginger and Gilligan! Cuteness overload!! These two litter mates came into the Shelter in early December of last year.  They are about six months old. It would be wonderful to see them go home together!  They are also a little shy so need each other for confidence and companionship.  As always - the adoption fee is waived if they are adopted together.
 

This is a shy group so please give them the time they need to settle in.  It is difficult for the shy ones to go from the protected atmosphere at the Shelter to the hectic atmosphere at PetSmart - dogs barking at them, kids knocking on the glass, etc.  Let them move at their own pace.

The February calendar is shaping up!  Please take a look at the link to the right and let me know if you can cover any of the open dates.

King George!

Decker left on Sunday as well as Bon Bon.  Decker is now living with a single woman and two year old lab mix.   Happy tails, Decker!

So right now the only remaining cats are Stella and Poirot.  We are working on bringing others down tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday.

Everyone will be happy to hear that George went home on Saturday. Apparently he settled in immediately!  His new name is King George and his family loves home already! .👑💖

King George

The Cats Are Back!!

Introducing Decker, Bon Bon, Poirot and Stella!

Decker came into the Shelter in mid-October of last year as a stray.  He was about four months old at that time and was sick with an upper respiratory infection. Decker is all boy and all kitten! All he wants to do is play, play, play!  He loves his toys!  Decker is going to make a very good family pet.
Dashing Decker

Bon Bon is a girl who came into the Shelter in early January of this year.  This pretty blue cream calico is a sweetie who wants to hang out on the couch and eat bon bons and watch TV with her very own family.  Bob Bon is about a year old.  She will make a nice companion!  Someone is already interested in her so most likely she will not be at the store very long.

Bonny Bon Bon

Poirot is about eight years old and came into the Shelter at the end of October last year.  It is suspected that he was a stray that someone was feeding and then left behind.  He was neutered when he came in so someone cared about him at some point.  He is that rare cat that does not mind being held.  This loveable middle aged guy deserves a break and a second chance!

Pleasant Poirot

Stellaaaaa!!!!  This three year old girl came into the Shelter in early December of last year.  The neighborhood was complaining that she was kept outside and deserved a better life.  This sweet, chatty little girl lived with cats in the past and will be a purrfect addition to the family!  

Stunning Stella

So, there you have it - the new squad!  It is a nice bunch!

Good news... We have a good application on George.  The applicant has been approved to meet him.  What's not to like, right?  Hopefully he leaves once he meets them.  

Four rolls of the brown paper have been purchased.  Do your best to reuse whenever possible.  If it can be avoided do not change the paper every day.  That being said - do not hesitate to use it if it looks bad though!

Please look ahead to February and let me know if you can cover any of the open dates.  Coverage is still needed this weekend for Saturday, January 30 for the evening cleaning and Sunday, January 31 for both the morning and the evening.  Difficult to believe it is February in just a few days!!

Monday, January 25, 2021

Let's start with the BEST news!!  Tito and Belvedere left on Saturday!  They are joining two other cats - two one year old brothers - and a human mom.  As recently as six months ago this was a four cat household but two passed away.  The balance is now restored and our beloved B & T can be house cats!  They belong in a cat savvy house so this is perfect!

Robert was adopted by a young man and his father.  He will be living with a Lab/Shar Pei mix named River.  They were very excited to be approved.  They were the second application and were thrilled when notified the first applicant withdrew.

And Tess!!  Finally!!  She was adopted by a woman and her teenage son.  She will be the only pet and will be getting a ton of attention!  It was worth the wait!

Most of you did not even get a chance to meet Kris and Kringle who arrived at Petsmart Friday morning and were adopted Saturday afternoon!!  Their pictures are below.  They are joining a BIG family and will have a lot of fun!  They are joining mom and dad and five kids (ages 15, 12, 11, 7 and 1).  They are the only pets.  Can't you picture them right now running willy nilly with all those kids?! Good for them!

So, poor George was the last man standing.  We decided this would be the perfect opportunity to do a deep cleaning of the adoption center.  George came back to the Shelter on Sunday.  Don't worry about him!  His time will come!  We all worry and then it happens!! 

I will send out an email when the cats have returned.  We are planning on Wednesday afternoon which means cleanings would resume on Thursday, January 28 in the morning.  I will confirm this on Wednesday.

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:
 
Saturday, December 26:    PM Cleaning 
Sunday, December 27:      AM & PM Cleaning
Tuesday, December 29:     PM Cleaning
Wednesday, December 30: PM Cleaning
 
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.  

George
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.

Happy tails, Chloe!!

Chloe left on Saturday! She is gaining two canine siblings, one feline sibling, two human siblings and a mom and dad!  She is going to make a teenage girl very happy!

Two new cats arrived over the Thanksgiving weekend - they are litter mates Belvedere and Tito. These two came into the Shelter over a year ago at ten weeks old.  They were trapped along with another sibling (who has since been adopted) and their mom. Sadly, they are growing up in a cage!

Belvedere, the female of the two, had surgery to fix a double entropion.  That's why her eyes look sore. (If you do not know what it is, Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid, usually the lower one, is turned inward and your eyelashes rub against your eyeball, causing discomfort.)  We would love to see these two stay together.  They are very sweet!  They will be shy at first but will do fine in a quiet, patient home.                                                                                                     

Belvedere
 
Tito

Mr. Skinny Bones was brought back to the Shelter right before Thanksgiving for an ear issue.  He had an ear infection, poor guy!  He has been treated and is all better.  Expect him back in a couple of days.

Below are some dates in the next few weeks that need coverage.  Please let me know if you are available for any of them:

Saturday, December 5, PM Cleaning
Friday, December 11, AM & PM Cleaning
Saturday, December 12, AM & PM Cleaning
Sunday, December 13, AM & PM Cleaning.

Feel free to look ahead later in the month and let me know if there are any dates you would like to cover beyond the above.  

I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving with your families!  Thank you for all you do for this program!

Happy Tails, Super Max!!

Super Max went home last week!  He will be joining an active household which is a purr-fect fit for him! His family is an adult couple, two adult children, a teenager and a three year old! They are so excited about him becoming a part of their family! 

Acer left as scheduled on Saturday, November 7. As mentioned in the last update - he joined a very nice couple with two teenagers.  He is going to get a ton of attention!!

I have an application on Yippy I am working through.  Sadly the first applicant had a change of heart.

Two lovely girls arrived on Friday - Rebecca and Chloe.  Finally some girls to join the boys!  Rebecca is a stray that came into the Shelter the end of October.  She is about six months old.  Are you a fan of the TV show This Is Us? This sweet little girl is named after one of the main characters.  Like that Rebecca this girl is pretty, sweet and very likeable!

Rebecca

Chloe came into the Shelter in mid-October.  She had been neglected and was so sick!  She was malnourished, had an upper respiratory infection, and an ear infection. She will probably remain small in stature for life.  She is a sweetheart and does not hold that against anyone and will make a wonderful and most thankful companion!

Chloe

Below are open dates for November.  Please let me know if you can cover.  We are losing Judy M for a month or so after November 21.  Please sign up for Saturday afternoons if you can!

Adoptions and New Arrivals!!

The boys are adopted!!  Aaron is leaving today (Wednesday) and is joining a young couple and a house full of pets!  He is gaining three canine siblings and two feline siblings.  Acer will be leaving the store on Saturday. He will be the only pet in the house and is joining mom and dad and two older teenagers.  Acer is going to be a prince in this house!

Tisha was brought back to the Shelter and may have an approved application.  We are working through it.

That leaves old man Skinny Bones to greet the new arrivals.  I must admit I am surprised he has not been adopted.  His time will come though!

Meet Paul and Ringo! These two precious boys really need to be adopted together!  They came into the Shelter as feral kittens in late September at about four and a half months.  Paul has the pink nose. Ringo loves to be snuggled.  They have never lived in a house.  Please give them a little space when they arrive.  They will appear timid and nervous however will be okay after a couple of days.  💖All they need is love!!💖
Ringo and Paul
 
Here's little Yippy!  He was adopted on October 3 and then brought back a week later.  Why was he brought back? 😖 Well, the adopter took Yippy and another kitten at the same time to join her ten year old cat.  Both bonded quickly with the older cat, however Yippy did not bond quickly enough with her.  She wanted to pick up Yippy and cuddle and, well, he did not want to participate!  She also complained that he played too rough and was a biter. (Sounds like a kitten to me!)

Nippy Yippy
 
Super Max is about three months old.  This poor little guy came into the Shelter in early September.  Sadly his mom died and he found himself orphaned outside at ten weeks old. 😭 He was in a foster home for a couple weeks where he showed himself to be exceptionally playful, smart and rambunctious! 😍 He is a love biter and plays rough! Overall Super Max is very endearing and will keep an adopter amused and on their toes! This picture really shows his personality!!  He looks like he is saying, "Hey! You!  Wanna play wif me?"

Super Max
 
Please take a look at the volunteer calendar and let me know if you are able to cover any of the open dates.

Tuesday, October 27, 2020

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!
 
Acer
 
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!!

💖Casper💖

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. 
 
 Handsome Skinny Bones
 
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!
 
Stephanie (L) and Sylvester (R)
 
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!
 
Amy Apple
 
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! 
 
Tisha
 
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.
 
Sunday, October 18, AM and PM
Wednesday, October 21, PM
Sunday, October 25, AM and PM
Tuesday, October 27, AM
Wednesday, October 28, PM
Friday, October 30, AM and PM

 

Friday, October 02, 2020

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.


Hera

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.

Tuesday, September 29, 2020

Happy Tails to Ace and Waddles!! Be good, boys!!

Waddles went home today where he will be the only pet living with a single woman who is thrilled to have him!  I did my best to see if Waffles could go with him but to no avail.   Ace is being adopted by PetSmart volunteers Ryan and Julia.  He is going to have a wonderful life!!  He is still at PetSmart today however they will be taking him home in a day or two.

Archie has a leg injury of some sort so has been brought back to the Shelter.  He will see the vet.  Poor boy!  Little Ava will be lost without her two brothers.  Hopefully she catches someone's eye soon!

Fruit Loop and Cheerio arrived at the store today and now reside in the big cage.  These two little boys MUST stay together!   They came into the Shelter orpans at three weeks old in early June.  Fortunately we had a nice mommy cat who happily took them and nursed them for several weeks. Then they went into a foster home with one of the Shelter employees for several weeks.  In the foster they did well with a toddler and a small dog.  How can you tell them apart?  Cheerio is buff and white.  Fruit Loop is orange and white.


September is nearing a close! Thank you for your help!  Below are the dates that need coverage in October.  There are quite a few.  Please let me know if you are available to cover any of them.

Thursday mornings on October 1 and October 8
Sunday mornings and evenings on October 4, 11, 18 and 25
Tuesday mornings on October 6, 13 and 27 
Wednesday evenings on October 7, 14, 21 and 28

We are going to bring some other new guys down in a day or two.  I'll keep you posted on Archie.

Latest Adoptions & Arrivals

Amy and Penny left on Saturday for a big house with a mom and dad and four kids - ages 11 to 17 - and an old dog.  Of course the kids were thrilled!  Dad drove down from Holland, PA to pick them up.

Marvel was brought back to the Shelter because he bit one of the volunteers - little jerk!!  By State law he must be quarantined for ten days.  We do have two applications for him and will follow up with both applicants once he is off quarantine.

Archie, Ava and Ace are litter mates that were brought to the the store on Tuesday afternoon.  These three arrived at the Shelter in early June.  At that time we estimated their age to be five or six weeks.  That puts them at about five months old now. They were removed from a location where volunteers are helping a feeder establish a responsible Trap-Neuter-Return situation.  They do not need to be adopted together.  However - if someone adopts two of our pets we always waive the second adoption fee.

As the cage cards indicate Ace is the friendliest and the most relaxed.  Archie and Ava are a little more nervous than Ace.  Please take your time with them all and let them settle in at their own pace.

Ace

  Archie

  Ava

Liberty and Casper Go Home!

Casper has been adopted and is in his new home as you read this!  He has joined a multi-cat household with a kind and compassionate woman who works in a vet office.  Things could not look better for him!  Thank you all for caring so much about him.

Liberty has also been adopted and will be living with a dog and five kids!  Looks like she will be getting a ton of attention.

A family with four kids (ages 11 through 17) have submitted an application for Amy and Penny.  They will be meeting the kittens at 2:00pm on Friday, September 11 with a staff member.  If they bond the kittens will be headed to Holland, Pennsylvania!

Three cats were brought to the store today.  Waddles, Waffles and Marvel.

Marvel lives up to his name and is a marvel-ous cat!  He will make a fabulous family pet!  He came into the Shelter in mid-July after being found at Lake Nummy in Belleplain State Forest.  He came in neutered however not microchipped.  He is about two years old.  He will be adopted quickly!

Waffles (female) and Waddles (male) are shy and will need a quiet understanding home.  They do not need to be adopted together.  They came into the Shelter in mid-June at about twelve weeks old - which puts them at about six months old now.  They were trapped at the Walmart in Rio Grande as part of a Trap-Neuter-Return project.  They were too young to be put back.  Kittens that are not handled by people very early in their lives can take a long time to trust people and not be afraid.  Please take your time with these two and let them settle in at their own pace.  Do not force them out to play or force yourself on them. Of the two, Waddles, the long haired male, is the best with people.  Waffles is the shy one of the two. 

 
IMPORTANT: The notebook at the Adoption Center is there so the volunteers can share information with each other.  If you note a medical issue or behavioral issue in the notebook you also need to email the Shelter at animal.shelter@cmcsheriff.net with "Attention Medical" in the subject.  Always cc me at daviesdunhour@comcast.net on those emails.  Staff are not goingto PetSmart daily so we are not aware of medical issues unless we are emailed.  Note the condition observed in the notebook to make the other volunteers aware of it and note that you have or will be emailing the Shelter.  Thank you!!
 
Below are dates that need coverage this month.  If you are available to cover any let me know:
 
Wednesday, Sept 16, PM Cleaning

Allie Gets To Go Home!

Allie is being reclaimed by a family member!  We are very happy for her!  

We have received an application for Amy and Penny however the applicant may choose another pair of kittens.  I will keep you posted on that.

The lovely Liberty arrived today! She is a friendly girl over a year old.  She came into the Shelter as a stray in the beginning of July.  She was not spayed but was friendly so obviously has had human interaction.

Below are dates in September that need coverage.  Please let me know if you are available to cover any of them:
