Two Out - Three In!

Two of our cats left yesterday!  Patriot went to an active household.  He is gaining three canine siblings, two feline siblings, mom and dad, two adult human siblings and one pre-teen sibling. Wow! A lot going on in that house - but he is up to the task! Chandler went to a quieter home and is joining one cat, mom and dad and a seven year old girl.  He is going to have a nice life!

Three new guys arrived today.  Shaggy, Velma and Daphne are all litter mates.  They came into the Shelter in mid-May at about three to four weeks old.  After intake they went into a foster home for six weeks.  They are nice kittens and will make very nice pets!  They came from an area where we have been facilitating TNR for years.  However sadly the caretakers never seem to get that last cat.

 

Please take a look at the schedule and let me know if there is any dates you can cover.

The below picture will help you stay cool!

Three New Arrivals!

Three cats arrived at the store on Friday - Phoebe, Chandler and Patriot. Phoebe and Chandler came into the Shelter in early June.  They are littermates and are instant pets!  Both are good with kids, cats and dogs. 

Chandler

Phoebe

Patriot is a handsome boy that was left behind when his owner moved.  He really wanted to be a part of the family next door and would not leave their property.  Unfortunately they have a dog that is not cat friendly and they were very concerned that Patriot would get hurt.  Patriot likes to play and can be a handful!

Patriot

Please take a look at the schedule and let me know what days you can cover.  

Finally Cats Arrive!

I know many of you were worried about Erma.  She was in our isolation room for about two weeks where she was treated for an an abscess that had developed on her face. At the time she had a good application and we were worried it would fall through.  The applicant came from Philadelphia to the shelter to met Erma and loved her!  She came back several days later and took her home.  She now lives with two young adults and a one year old cat named Wilma May.  It is so very heartwarming when a senior cat like Erma gets adopted!

The two brothers, Lefty and Lance, are still at the store.  We have had a couple of inquiries about them however no suitable applications.

I know everyone likes seeing more cats brought to the store and it seems odd when we have so many at the Shelter yet so few at the store.  That is because we take care to make sure the cats that go to the store are resilient, can quickly adapt to the change in environment and can handle seeing so many different people  coming in to care for them.  It is very stressful for a cat to handle the amount of activity that takes place at Petsmart - people knocking on the window, dogs encouraged to jump up, kids peering in and no place to hide, different volunteers coming in twice a day, etc. We worry every time we send a crew down!

So...meet the four that were brought to the store yesterday - Willy, Baby, Pokey and Luna.  Just a gentle reminder...they settle in at their own pace.  Read their behavior and give them space if they ask!

One eyed Willy is seven months old and is a wonderful boy! Fortunately a kind woman who does Trap-Neuter-Return saw him and knew he needed help.  He was suffering from a severe case of glaucoma and an eye needed to be removed.  He came in on April 13 of this year and had surgery at South Paw Animal Hospital a few weeks later.  The surgery went well and he is ready to lead a full life in a loving home!

Pokey is a social two year old tabby cat that was surrendered because his owner was moving and could not bring him.  The owner had Pokey since he was a kitten so he is accustomed to the life of a domestic cat.  The owner reports he is good with cats, kids and dogs.  Let's get Pokey into a home again!

Pokey

Baby shares Pokey's story - one we hear too often.  She was surrendered because her owner moved and could not take her.  She is seven years old and is, as the name suggests, a baby! She is needy and loves being fussed over! She will make a great companion!

Baby

Luna is about six years old and needs a break!  She was left behind by her owner in February of this year.  A neighbor was keeping an eye on her and twice thought that a dog in the neighborhood had hurt her. The first time they saw she was wounded they took her to the vet.  The second time they called animal control.  They could not take her in however were not going to stand by and see her hurt again. It is time Luna's luck changed! 

Luna

We have many kittens coming into the Shelter!  Do not be surprised when they start to arrive at the store.  Please encourage anyone you encounter with unfixed cats to contact the Shelter and we will work with them to get the cats spayed or neutered at no charge to them. Cat clinics are still being held every Thursday next door to the Shelter under the auspices of Animal Outreach of Cape May County.  At this time their website has not been updated to allow for on line appointments or to obtain information. For now tell people to call the Shelter and we will facilitate the process for them.

Please take a look at the calendar and let me know if you are available to cover any of the open time slots. Our Tuesday morning cleaner started a new job so that time slot is no longer covered by a regular.  If you are interested in picking it up let me know.  Otherwise during the week is usually covered unless I send out an email.  Help is regularly needed for Friday, Saturday and Sunday PM cleanings.

Thanks for your help!  You will love the new arrivals!

Three Out and Three In!!

Sasha went home to live with a young family that was very excited to adopt her!  She gained mom and dad (a young couple) and a four year old human sibling.  It is a great fit for her!

Otis and Ollie went home together yesterday and are joining a nice animal family!  They were adopted by a single man who has a sister that spends a lot of time with him.  They are joining two other cats.  The adopter was thrilled to be approved!  It is so nice when a bonded pair gets to stay together!!

Three cats arrived at the store today.  As always - move slowly and read their files before introducing yourself to them!   Changing locations is a stressful event for cats.  Petsmart can add to the stress as the store can be loud and dogs and customers approach the glass.  Never force the cats to come out and play.  Let them settle in on their own terms!

Erma is a little old cat that we guess is about 16 years old.  She is lovely!  Sadly, she came into the Shelter in January of this year when her owner died.  No one in the family could take her.  She loves attention and is looking for a lap to curl up in.   Hopefully a kind soul opens their heart and home for her soon! 

Erma

Lance (orange) and Lefty (brown/black tabby) are two bonded brothers who came into the Shelter as kittens in November of last year.  They are basically growing up in the Shelter.  They came from a location where cats were being permitted to procreate.  Volunteers initiated Trap-Neuter-Return and these two guys were removed from the colony to be put up for adoption.  They are nervous however we are confident they would be just fine in the right home!  Again - go slowly with these guys.

 

Lance & Lefty

  

We have a new volunteer - Gina - who is a regular now on Tuesday mornings.  Welcome, Gina, and thank you so much for your help! (Special thanks to Lauren who did her training!!)

Please take a look at the Schedule and let me know if you can cover any of the open time slots.  I am looking for a regular on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings as well as every other Saturday morning.

 

Pixel and Java Stay Together Forever!

Pixel and Java were adopted together and are joining a big animal family!  They are gaining a Great Dane brother named Little Man and three feline siblings - FeeFee, Onion Dip and Bubba.  In addition they are gaining a human mom and two human sisters.  They will have a nice life and get to stay together!

Meet Sasha, Otis and Ollie - three cats that arrived at the store on Friday, April 16.  

Sasha is a lovely little girl about three years old. She was originally adopted from us in December of last year along with her sister.  The adopter eventually brought Sasha back to the shelter because she kept attacking her sister.  The sister became quite intimidated and would not use the litter box.  She began to urinate and defecate under a bed.  The behavior of both cats led the adopter to bring them both back. Although Sasha was a great companion and loves human attention she HATES other cats! She will need to be the only cat in the house. Do not have her out to play while the others are out.  

Sassy Sasha

Otis and Ollie are litter mates and are a bonded pair of brothers. Both are about six to seven months old.  They arrived at the Shelter in late February from a managed colony of outside cats. Both will be shy at first but will come around once they settle in.  Otis is a polydachtal (has extra toes!) and has his left ear tipped.  Ollie is solid black.  As their cage card says - they are sweet, love to cuddle and love to play!  Don't let Sasha bully them!

Otis

Ollie

Bonded Sisters Arrive!

Two new arrivals on Tuesday! Java and Pixel are sisters that came into the Shelter mid-October of last year.  They are just under a year old.  They are from an area where sadly many stray cats are outside breeding with no intervention.  We have received quite a few from that area and are doing what we can do get the numbers under control.  The sisters do get along very well - best case scenario they go home together - however it is not required. They will probably be a tad afraid and nervous when they first arrive but they will be fine!  Give them space and a chance to settle in for the next couple of days. 

We do have an application for Bourbon and Cosmo that we are working through that so far looks good!!  Paws crossed they get to go home together soon! 😻😻

Happy Tails, Gwen!

Gwen left on Sunday  for her new home!  Her new family drove from Oak Ridge, New Jersey to meet her.  Oak Ridge is located in Passaic County and is as far as one can possibly be from Cape May County yet remain in the State! Of course they fell in love with Gwen as soon as they met her! She will be living with mom and dad, two teenagers and a senior Himalayan named Fluffy.

Mikey arrived at PetSmart over the weekend.  He is about ten months old and a typical teenaged boy.  He wants to play, make friends and have fun!  Look at that face!

There are a few remaining dates in March that need coverage:

Friday, March 26, PM Cleaning

Tuesday, March 30, AM Cleaning

Please look ahead to April and let me know if you can cover any of the available days.

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!
 

Bourbon

Cosmo

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!! 

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.

Stay safe and warm!!!

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

Below are dates that need coverage this week:

Sunday, February 7, AM and PM Cleaning

Thursday, February 11, PM Cleaning

Friday, February 12, AM Cleaning

 

Also, please look ahead at the rest of the February schedule as well.

Bon Bon Goes Home!

Pretty Bon Bon went home on Sunday.  She is now part of a big family!  Mom, Dad and three kids - 14, 12 and 8.  She is going to be one happy diva getting a TON of attention!

 

Please click on the PetSmart calendar to the right for dates in February that need coverage. Let me know if you are available to cover any of them.

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!!

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.

Please see the below dates and let me know if you can cover any of them:

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.

Paul & Ringo Stay Together!

Paul & Ringo went home together on Sunday to an adult only household and no other pets.  They will have a nice life!

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!

Volunteers are off on Thanksgiving!  PetSmart will take care of our cats when they go in to feed and clean their animals.  (That's Toni in the AM and Lisa & Sarah in the PM.  Please confirm you read this!)

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.
