Saying Goodbye to a Shelter Friend
 
We had to say goodbye to our dear friend Harry yesterday. Harry has had a funny cough, well it had gotten worse over the past week. We took him into the vet yesterday and he was diagnosed with cancer. The vet said that it was terminal. Rather than have Harry suffer, we decided to be with him as he peacefully went to sleep only to dream about playing with his friend Foley again. It is very sad, but on the possitive side, Harry got an extra 2 years that he most likely would not have had if he were in another shelter. Another shelter would have euthanized him just for his age. Harry was 15! RIP Harry...we all loved you very much!

Bailey Finds her Forever Home!
 
Bailey is a cat that found her way to the shelter almost three years ago.  She was very timid and spent alot of her time in the window climber coming down for only the special people in which she had found trust and love.  Two years ago, one of our work-studies, Kerensa, fell in love with Bailey, but couldn't adopt her at the time because she was still in school.  She always said that if when she was settled Bailey was still at the shelter, she would take her home.  Bailey waited patiently and saw many cats come in and go out, but today was Bailey's big day!  Volunteers took a roadtrip and delivered Bailey to her new home.  Kerensa always knew that Bailey was meant to be with her.  Bailey is now living it up with her new mom and dad.  Watch as Bailey makes her journey home:
