Adoptable Animals

PET OF THE MONTH: 

"STORM"

Storm is a special needs cat because he is positive for Feline Leukemia.  He is between 1 - 2 years old, mostly black with a white belly.  Feline Leukemia is very contagious to other cats, so Storm needs to be placed in a home with no other cats or a home that already has positive cats.  Storm's picture was taken in a cage because that's where he lives.  He is confined to a cage 24 hours  a day because we are an animal shelter with other cats that cannot be exposed to him without fear of them also becoming infected.  This is a very sad situation.  Storm is such a playful cat and wants nothing more to be able to just run around the room like a "normal" cat should.  He has been vet checked and has been given a clean bill of health.  Storm is desperate to find his forever home.  It is our Holiday wish that Storm be home for the Holidays snuggled up by the fire being a "normal" cat. Please give them him a second chance as we have!  If interested, please come in for a visit.

 A Tribute to a Friend:

Wandering alone,                                             

I found you.

but you were gentle;

I brought you to the shelter.

In a cage,

you were so angry;

barking at me,

but your eyes were so sad.

You had a story to tell;

I began to listen.

A biscuit is all it took

for you to give me your trust.

My heart had faith in you,

but with your sort,

my trust in you required time;

time that wouldn’t be there.

Through the wired wall,

we formed a bond.

Leaning against the metal,

you would try to get close to me,

so my fingers could rub your ears.

In a cage,

you were so ill;

staring at me,

and your eyes were so sad.

Forgetting about the barrier,

I reached in and gave you my consoling touch,

for what would be the first and only time.

I am Sorry that I couldn’t save you.

Sorry that I never got to hug you.

Sorry that I wasn’t there when you left this world.

Forgive me friend,

for I know better now;

to listen to my heart

is the lesson learned,

and so your story I will tell;

To Bruiser, a dog I once knew.
