Condo Updates

Just some quick notes to keep everyone up-to-date on the ever-changing shelter news!

A look at our
adoptables page is very inspiring, to say the least! Scroll down to see the many cats that have been adopted or have gone to rescue this month. In the last several days, Bones, Spookums, and Streak were also adopted, and Lucky went to rescue. Pixie also went to rescue; she was the office cat in the bottom cage and was FIV+.

I have been covering Condo Pulaski this week while Judith was taking some much deserved (and needed, I'm sure!) vacation time. The cats miss Judith very much; I've seen the way they roll their eyes when I show up! Before heading off into the great beyond, Judith transported 9 cats (including Lucky and Pixie) to Rikki's Refuge! Rikki's has helped us save 53 lives this year!

Dreamsicle was spayed this week and is resting comfortably in Condo Pulaski, apartment 1. Three kittens were surrendered to the shelter this week and were transferred to PCHS. Two girls and a boy named Janet, Chrissy, and Jack--from Three's Company! Thanks, Ashley, for the excellent names! They have been wormed, vaccinated, and are living comfortably in the bottom office cage. Unfortunately for them, their upstairs neighbor is the 4th tenor, Roman. He takes his singing career very seriously and practices almost constantly!

My friend and new PCHS volunteer, Ashley, came in on Thursday and was a huge help! She jumped right in and helped me scrub and bleach the office cage and litter boxes from recently vacated cages. Surprisingly, she said I was not difficult to work with.

Lovin', Huggin', Brushin'!


Calling all cat lovers! We have several long-haired condo kitties at the moment who need frequent brushing. If you like cats and have 30 minutes or so to spare, Prissy, Tabitha, Lady, and Browny would very much like to meet you! All volunteers must register with our office and receive proper handling instructions first; we are open M-F 1-5, Sat 10-2.






Rescue Waggin' testing help needed!

This Sat and Sunday, Dec 29 and 30, 2-5pm Julie and Rebecca will be SAFER testing for the next Rescue Waggin' load. There are many dogs that need to be tested--the more hands they have to help, the more they can get on the Waggin'.

SAFER testing is very time and energy consuming for the testers (and at times, very entertaining for the observers!), so if you can help, please come to the shelter at some point during that timeframe -- either or both days! The shelter will be closed but they will be back in the garage area. They will need 1 person to run the camera and 2-4 to run the dogs.
Have a great rest-of-the-weekend everyone!
