MATCHING PETS WITH PEOPLE
Marshall is a young puppy that was picked up as a stray from a northern reserve. He’s everything a puppy “should” be — happy, friendly, playful, curious. It’s impossible to tell how big he’ll grow up to be as we don’t know his exact age and we don’t know what either of his parents looked like. His feet aren’t particularly big so we are guessing he’ll be a mid-sized adult, but don’t hold us to that. If you adopt Marshall you should be prepared for any sized dog. Marshall may be 100 per cent mutt but he is also 100 per cent love bug. Not only did he quickly worm his way into his foster parents’ hearts, but he has also converted both his foster dog and cat siblings into Marshall fans. He likes to play with toys. Please call 403-359-3139 or visit www.windycityrescue.com for more information.
Autumn came to the Humane Society in the spring of 2016; she is about two years old. She is still quite shy and often hisses when she is fearful. Autumn is most comfortable in her kennel, and readily rolls over for a belly rub, or to have her chin scratched. She is becoming more familiar with the kitten room and likes to explore. If you are interested in meeting Autumn, you can visit her at the Lethbridge Humane Society (2920 16 Ave. N. or call 403-3208991).

Beulah is why the PAW Society rescues cats. This tiny black and white girl, about two years old, was part of a colony of homeless cats, being fed by kind people. After Beulah had a litter of kittens, it was decided to trap and spay and neuter the colony. Though the usual process is to return a spayed or neutered cat to the colony, we felt that we couldn’t do that with Beulah. For one thing, though very shy, we feel she can become a happy, indoor member of a loving family; for another, she has FIV. This condition suppresses the immune system, and could make relatively harmless health issues a little more troublesome for her. But with a caring, safe and indoor life, FIV cats can live a completely normal life span. It is also very difficult for FIV to be passed from one cat to another. Beulah is in otherwise good health. She is very slender but that’s her build. She has a good appetite and clean habits. With the right people, she can blossom. Patience, affection, security and peace of mind are all Beulah needs for a happy life — but then, can’t that be said of all of us? To learn more about adopting or fostering this extraordinary little lady, contact PAW at 403-3286700. Beulah’s rescue began with us — let it end with you.
Ziva is a happy girl and a grateful girl and would like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving ... she gives thanks every day that she is in a safe place now, loved and well cared for. She feels sorry for all the cats out there that do not have a home, especially with the cold weather of winter coming. She wishes that more people would help them. The Last Chance Cat Ranch, who looks after her, has been getting requests every day to take in more cats. It makes Ziva very sad as without more foster homes and finances to pay for vet bills, food, and litter, it is becoming very difficult to help any more cats. If everyone who cares would help or could help, the volunteers at LCCR would feel better about things. This Thanksgiving, Christmas, throughout the year, our community has to do more to help. There is a current cat crisis and it is out of control. Thank you to everyone who supports our rescue efforts.
Our sweet, little Stevie recently had surgery, at Green Acres Animal Hospital, to have her eyes removed. She came to Purrfect Endings on July 3, at approximately three weeks of age, after being found at the dump. She was very sick, dehydrated and also blind. Unfortunately, her eyes were causing her a great deal of pain and discomfort. She is recovering quite well from the surgery. However, she may need to have a nasal flush because she is very congested. Stevie will be up for adoption once she is totally recovered and healthy. Although Purrfect Endings is a small rescue we take in many serious medical cases. Over the past few months we have had three major ones. Our bill at Green Acres Animal Hospital is so huge and we are in desperate need of donations. No amount is too small. Thank you so much to those individuals who have donated. Please call Linda (403-381-9269) or Sam (403-382-0977) of Purrfect Endings Rescue for more information. We are also on Facebook.
