cats

Most people that are looking to add a pet to their family usually think of puppies and kittens.  With that comes a lot of learning, and a lot of patience.   A lot of times it may be appropriate to adopt a senior pet.  They've learned the ropes, they've calmed down, and they are looking for a loving home for their golden years.

There are cat people and then there's this guy.

Cats are funny little creatures. Some like dressing up in reindeer antlers while others bask in the grumpy glory of fame. It doesn't matter what kind of feline we come across-- we're always big fans of the furballs. However, there is one type of kitty that tops our list of favorites: the kind that gets stuck in things.

Every Wednesday we take some time to talk to Animal Allies about their upcoming fundraisers and their featured pets.   Today we talked a bit about "The Furball" coming up Oct. 19th.  Raffle tickets are available at their website.  Also, we met Chaos.

We talked with Animal Allies today and learned that during the adoption event this last weekend, they found homes for 66 pets!  That's great!   Also remember to purchase a raffle ticket at their website for the upcoming Furball. And of course, we met a featured pet this week:  Iggy!

The Internet, as you probably know, has a soft spot for cats. But mirrors, it appears, do not.

We talked to Jenny today on the Breakfast Club and were introduced to Jada.  Jada is one of the many cats 6 months or older that are a part of the name your own fee program going on right now at Animal Allies.  Here's more about Jada:

Animal Allies has a lot of cats in the shelter this time of year.   Because of that, Animal Allies has the "name your own adoption fee" promotion.   Donate what you can and take home a friendly cat!   Here's the featured animal this week, Bootsie!

Every now and again pets come into the shelter that have been together for their whole life.   That's the case with Sunflower and Violet, who are a pair of bonded cats at Animal Allies.   They are hoping to find a good home for these senior cats and keep them together.

Cinnamon Roll is a lot sweeter than she looks.  She's the featured cat this week for Animal Allies.   Right now, you can name your own fee if you adopt Cinnamon Roll or any other cat over 6 months old, so visit Animal Allies to find your match!

Animal Allies still has a lot of cats looking for permanent homes and they are continuing "name your own fee" adoptions for cats over 6 months old.  One of those cats is Charlie.  Here's a little about him.

Last week I told you about our struggle with our puking cat.  She vomits regularly.  It's more of just a regurgitation.  It's pretty much the dry cat food chewed up, hits the stomach, and comes right back up.  But it takes just enough time for her to put it in a hidden place.  Last week I tried some expensive cat food, thinking that might help.
