Featured pet: Jodie

-

Today we are featuring a lovely young cat named Jodie who was recently rescued from a local barn along with two other cats and four kittens. Sadly the barn is a dumping ground for unwanted cats and over the past several months, with the support of the Pope Memorial Frontier Animal Society just across the border in Vermont, we have rescued and rehomed approximat­ely 60 cats and kittens. Some were feral, some were sick, some were injured, but fortunatel­y, most were friendly and social. The owner of the barn has done an amazing job caring for these unwanted cats but overwhelme­d, she reached out to us for help. We will continue to work with her as the need arises.

Although we are featuring Jodie, there’s a catch, she is very, very pregnant so she is not available for adoption just yet. Once she has her kittens, which will be any day now, we would love to place this little family into a loving foster home. Jodie is as sweet and friendly as they come and she can be quite chatty when seeking attention. She is engaged and affectiona­te and she loves to be pet. Jodie is young, probably not much more than a year, but we know she’ll be great mom.

To foster, you will need to live within reasonable distance of the shelter and have a quiet room where mom and kittens will feel safe and secure and where they will not be exposed to other cats.

For more informatio­n about fostering, please send an email to frontieran­imalsociet­y@gmail.com or better yet give our cat adoption coordinato­r Linda a call at 819.868.2684 and she will be happy to tell you more about what is involved.

We’d like to end by sharing the good news that our senior cat Mini, who was featured just last week, was adopted into a wonderful home where she is sure to get all the love and attention she deserves.
