Featured pet: Mocha and her kittens
This week we are featuring our little cat family who arrived at the shelter in late May. Mocha (the mom), and her kittens Cocoa and Thea are healthy and strong and ready to find their forever families.
Mocha was found by a kind family when she was already pregnant. They took good care of mom and kittens but to ensure they would be vetted and placed into loving and responsible homes, when the kittens were 6 weeks old, they contacted us for help.
Mocha is a super sweet, calm and gentle young cat who is likely not even two. She was a wonderful mom but now it's time for her to let her babies go. She deserves a little rest and relaxation. Thea and Cocoa are incredibly cute little tabbies who love to play with each other and with their toys. Although a little timid at first, they can't resist the temptation of a cuddle. Thea and Cocoa were born in early April so will be ready for adoption very soon.
As they grow, kittens need continued socialization so their ideal home is one where they have another cat or kitten to play with. If you are interested in adopting a kitten but currently have no other cats, please consider adopting in pairs.
A big thank you to everyone who attended and/or supported our walk!
Once again this year, our Annual Dog Walk fundraiser was a lively and fun event! We had, by far, the largest turnout ever! At least 100 people and 60 dogs "walked the walk", including all 13 of the SAFAS dogs that were residing at the shelter at that time. The weather was perfect (not too hot, not too cool and no rain!)
The dogs were well behaved and enjoyed their outing and we enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with our adopters and supporters. It's always nice to be surrounded by so many likeminded people who share the same passion. As an added bonus, it was great to see so many dogs adopted from our shelter enjoying the event alongside their new forever family.
The money raised at our walk is critical to our ability to provide the care our animals need throughout the year. Thank you for your support!
