Hoping FOR A HOME
MATCHING PETS WITH PEOPLE
This public service feature runs each Saturday in the Lethbridge Herald.
No one is going to adopt me… Why on Earth would you think that, Neville? Because
I’m old… Ha! You’re not old; you’re about 10. Many cats live twice as long: you’re barely middle-aged. Well, I’m grey. People don’t like
grey cats… Of course they do. Grey cats are mysterious, especially handsome man-cats like you. But I have long hair, and I sometimes get
mats… Long hair is ‘in’ again, Nev; maybe we can give you a mancat-bun. Or not. But with regular brushing, those mats won’t have a chance. And you’re starting to like brushing, aren’t you? Yeah… But I like eating, too… Neville, a healthy appetite is a good sign. Didn’t the doctor just say you were the perfect weight? But I talk
while I eat… You sure do! You even mutter away while your face is in the food bowl! It’s adorable! It is?... Of course. But…but I have diabetes… Nev, your diabetes is being well-managed, and giving insulin is something anyone can learn. Look at you: you eat well, you’re active and friendly; you play, you get along with other cats, and you have years and years of fun and affection ahead of you. Then, maybe, I will get adopted…if you tell everyone how to contact
me… All right, all right; I was getting to that: phone Lethbridge PAW Society at 403-328-6700 or send an inquiry at pawsociety.com. Anything else? Tell them I’ll
be waiting right here, for their call… Yes, he is a Prince of a cat, waiting patiently for someone to say that he is the cat they have been looking for! Prince is 2.5 years old and is a very happy and playful boy. You can read more about him by visiting www.thelastchancecatranch.com and www.facebook.com/lastchancecatranch and we can arrange a meeting. Thank you to everyone who donated to our bottle drive last weekend. It was a busy one as we did not have one in April due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Thank you to everyone who supports what we do and who helps homeless cats in their own communities. Kindness is a much-needed thing when it comes to abandoned pets. Have a good weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, two- and four-legged!
Aretha is a beautiful little girl who is very timid and keeps to herself. She loves toys, though, and plays when no one is looking! If you are interested in meeting Aretha, you can see her at the Lethbridge Humane Society (2920 16 Ave. N. or call 403-320-8991). To view other Haven pets, go to
www.lethbridgehumanesociety.com and click on the Available Pets link. Also check out the Lethbridge and District Humane Society on Facebook.
Marybeth came to Purrfect Endings Rescue when she was a tiny, five-week-old, feral kitten. She is now approximately two and a half years old. She is still very scared and will need a special person who has a lot of patience and is willing to take things slowly. Marybeth needs the company of another cat. Hopefully, there is someone out there who will be the purrfect match for this sweet girl. Call Linda (403-381-9269) or Sam (403-382-0977) of Purrfect Endings Rescue for more information about Marybeth. We have so many specialneeds cats who require special food and/or medical care. Our bill is very high and we are desperate for donations to help pay it down. No amount is too small. Donations can be made directly to Green Acres Animal Hospital (403 327-8660), by etransfer: sixfurballz@telus.net, or you can also donate the proceeds from bottle recycling to us through Ability Bottle Depot South and North. Thank you so much to those individuals who have donated.
Esteban is a seven-month-old mixed breed dog who loves to hang with his brother Edwin. This shy boy is a bit unsure of things at first but is learning from his foster family just how much fun things can be. He is a handsome boy who would love a furry dog friend in his new home to help him to continue to learn all the great things out there in the big world. He is dog-friendly, cat-friendly and loves kids. Visit www.windycityrescue.com or call 403-359-3139 for more information.
