Other Available Pets

CATS—Angel: is 9 years young. She is in great health. Angel is a very loving, sweet natured lady. Her owner’s health required her to turn Angel over to us. Angel is used to a quiet home and would do well with a nice couple or a single person. She loves to be petted and brushed. Angel will make a great companion. She is a beautiful, long haired, dilute calico.  Angel is up to date on vaccines and is spayed.  We are offering a senior discount of 10 percent for any senior citizen adopting Angel.

Emslee and Gus: are about15 weeks old and have had two series of vaccines and been dewormed.

These two are loving kittens and have a strong purr factor. They have been altered and are ready for their new forever home. Emslee and Gus love to play with toys and are healthy, active young kittens.

Beamer: is a five year old orange tabby. Beamer is a very friendly guy, loves belly rubs and will come to greet you in his foster home. Beamer would enjoy being the only cat or in a home with another calm cat. He would be good for an individual who wants a loving companion or a nice couple.  He is neutered and current on his vaccines. If you would love a friendly orange cat, apply to adopt Beamer at  wecareforanimals.org.

Ella: is looking for her forever after home.  She is a gorgeous 5 year old Maine Coon. Ella does not like to share attention with other animals so needs to be the only pet in the home. No small children.  Ella is friendly but will hide at first until she feels comfortable. Patience will be rewarded when she comes out to share her true friendly nature.  She is current on all vaccines and spayed.  Ella would love a home with a nice couple or single individual.

We have five more kittens that will be available a few weeks from now.  Two boys are black and the three girls are calico, black and white.

Cats do not enjoy being confined in a cage.  The cats we have for adoption show best in a home environment.  If you see a cat you like, to truly see his or her personality, you should contact us to arrange a time, at your convenience, to meet the cat in his/her foster home.  Some of our sweetest cats can come across as cranky or withdrawn when they are placed in the crate for viewing.  Please give these felines a chance by meeting them “outside the cage”.  Taking one of these felines for a sleep over is another way to get to know them better before adopting.  Ask us about our sleep over policy.

DOGS—Feather: (formerly Robin) is a sweet, playful and loving Rat Terrier mix. Feather walks well on leash, knows the dog door, loves being in your lap and enjoys car rides. She enjoys being with other dogs. The ideal home for Feather is one with another playful canine companion, a secure fenced yard (she can be a runner) and a dog door. She enjoys having the freedom of a dog door to go out and enjoy the sunshine and yard. Feather is approximately one year of age, weighs 7.8 pounds, is current on initial vaccines and is spayed and micro chipped.

FOURTH OF JULY

It is safer to keep your pets at home during Fourth of July celebrations instead of taking him/her to your neighbor’s party. Keep your pets in the house, rather than in your yard. They will be a lot happier indoors, and not tempted to leap over a fence to find you.

Dogs and cats can be startled by the loud noise of fireworks. Once the festivities begin, keep your pet in a safe room where it can feel comfortable. If your pet is crate trained put him in his crate covered with a blanket to make him feel secure.

Block outside sights and sounds by lowering the blinds and turning on the television. Play soothing music in the background to counteract the cacophony during the “rockets’ red glare.

If your pet seems overly anxious, spend some time with your pet, speaking soothingly to help them to relax.

Avoid scraps from the grill. While tempting to our pets, any sudden change to your pets’ diet can cause stomach upset. In addition, some certain foods like onions, avocado, grapes and raisins can be  HYPERLINK “http://www.petside.com/news/pet-poisons-in-your-home.html” toxic .

Human products can be  HYPERLINK “http://www.petside.com/news/pet-poisons-in-your-home.html” dangerous to animals . Avoid spraying your pet with insect repellent and only use special sunscreen that is intended for animal use. Keep your pets away from matches and lighter fluid. They can be extremely irritating to the stomach, lungs and central nervous system, if ingested.

Should your dog or cat get scared, escape and run away, help find him or her with microchip identification.

Make sure your area is clean of all fireworks materials that your pet might want to sample.

Collars and tags can fall off so make sure you have permanent ID with a microchip. Keep contact information current with your recovery service provider.
