Notes from the Webmistress****










URGENT!!

Can anyone help, or does anyone know someone who would be able to help in either of the following cases?
Parkside has a double positive female, shy but friendly, symptom-free, only 1 or 2 years old.  They are temporarily caring for her, but this situation will not last long.  If she truly is FeLv positive, the probability is that it won't be a real long-term foster.  The person who was caring for her originally will not take her back.
 
The second case is that of a 21-yoa male cat, friendly, with thyroid problems.  His person had back surgery, and will never be able to return home.   HOmes have been found fdor 3 of her cats, the 21-year old is at the vets, and there are two 'teenagers', 13 and 14, still being cared for in the woman's original home (someone going in to care for them). 
 
If anyone can help, or knows of anyone who can, please let me know.  The poor positive will be put down if we can't find a way to help.  thanks so much.
 

Please contact  nycatlady@nycap.rr.com




IN MEMORIUM

Please remember the animals who didn't find their forever home
and have gone over the RAINBOW BRIDGE





Please adopt from your local shelter or rescue group; this cat is a cat who
didn't make it but in the few minutes that I saw him made such a strong impression that I couldn't let his passing go unheralded.
There are many, many others like him; don't let time slip away....go meet your future companion NOW!

Rejia

                 Pet Photo
Domestic Short Hair[Mix]
  • Sex: Male
  • Age: Senior
  • Size: Medium
  • ID: 4629065 


    Rejia is a white senior gentleman (7 years), with a lovely pink nose, gold eyes and some gold hairs on his head that match his eyes. He is a large fellow who enjoys being brushed. Rejia gets along fine with other cats, but needs an adults-only home. His previous owner moved and decided there were too many cats, so Rejia found himself in the shelter. He is still adjusting to changes, which are especially hard for older cats, so he needs an understanding family. He is nervous and shy, but he does talk a bit. Rejia will brighten up your life if you take him home.

  • Sex: Male
  • Age: Adult
  • Size: Medium
  • ID: 4644128

    Hi, I'm Gary, a sweet black and white boy, rather small. But my tail is nice and full and my nose is flower pink. Maybe I wasn't big enough to keep, because my former people abandoned me. I was lonesome and scared, and I am still feeling kind of shy. The shelter is such a strange place. I sure would like to go home to a nice adult family where I can feel safe. I enjoy being petted and I'll purr and roll around for you so you know how I like it. May I come and roll around your place? 




                                         Tink

  •                                                   Size: Medium
  •                                                   ID: 4629000

    Tink is a beautiful grey lady with gorgeous green eyes and incredibly soft fur. Her tail is most magnificent, too. Her previous owner moved and decided there were too many cats, so Tink found herself at the shelter. Tink is nervous about being here, so although she clearly enjoys being petted, she is not very demonstrative. She is still adjusting to changes so she needs an understanding, adults-only family. She does not like to be held, and she is feeling rather shy right now. Please consider taking Tink home and helping this pearl come out of her shell.

  •                                         Sex: Male
  •                                                        Age: Adult
  •                                                        Size: Medium
  •                                                        ID: 4055793 

    My name is Ferguson and I'm a really magnificent long-haired black fellow with a big fluffy tail. I had to wander alone on the streets of Albany for a while and I sure missed the company of people. My head got a little banged up but I'm okay now. When you come to visit, my beautiful green eyes will ask you for attention, and when you pet me I'll purr like crazy, then I might even talk to you. Oh, and my foster mom wanted me to let you know that I'm not very good with dogs, and I'm okay with her female cats but not her male. (This animal is living in a foster home. Please contact PetsToAdopt@mohawkhumanesociety.org for more information.)

    Domestic Short Hair[Mix]
  •                                    Sex: Female
  •                                    Age: Young
  •                                    Size: Medium
  •                                    ID: 4654106 

    Mary is a very pretty little tortie with orange on her face. Right now she is very scared of the strange new place where she found herself when her owners decided they had too many cats. She lived with other cats and dogs, so she is okay with animals. But because she has been traumatized by her move to the shelter, she needs an adult family with understanding hearts who will be patient with her for quite a while until she can feel safe again. 



                                                           Sammy
                               Pet Photo
                                                  Domestic Short Hair[Mix]
  •                                                                       Sex: Male

  •                                                                       Size: Medium
  •                                                                       ID: 4601415  

    Sammy and Louie came in together, and they are the handsome Team Black. What an awesome couple of boys. They are both feeling quite down because their owner's health became poor and they had to be brought to the shelter. They just don't quite know what to think, so they're trying to relax and get past their nervousness. Sammy has huge gold eyes and short fur. He likes being brushed and petted. Right now he isn't too responsive. When he finds a nice adults-only family to settle in with, Sammy says he will enjoy life again and be a fun companion.

  •                                                                              Size: Medium
  •                                                                              ID: 4659266

    THIS CAT IS AT PETSMART NORTH GREENBUSH. Hi, I'm Francesca, a large, exotic-looking Siamese mix with a grey and white coat and gorgeous blue eyes. I'm a little hefty, and so is my purr. My owner died so I found myself in the shelter. Right now I am still sad and a bit depressed, and sometimes I don't feel like being petted too much. But since I'm so sweet and mellow, I would really be happy in a family with children of any age. Once I have new people to play with, I won't be lonesome anymore. Then I will be the best lap cat around!
