FEATURED PET(S)
JAYCE
Jayce is a very striking male teen, long and lean. He is a very crisp, clean white cat with a grey streak-like patch on his head, one blue and one gold eye. Alot of people say he looks like an Egyptian cat.
Because he is very active, Jayce needs many toys and stimulants throughout the day. He is very adventurous, plays all day, sleeps well at night. Jayce is always looking for his next adventure. He is very independent, yet will engage if you choose to play with him. He loves to bring the rattle balls to you, and drop them in your lap so you will toss them for him. Jayce is very curios and will follow you from room to room, task to task, watching everything you do. He is very entertaining, and I might say, good company at times. He likes all cat toys, especially balls that rattle. He likes all other animals as well. This week he is particuarly interested in a little chihuahua we're fostering (because he has rattly tags on), so he sees him as a mobile squeek toy!
Jayce loves to try to escape outdoors, and is not intimidated once he gets out. He should be an inside cat because being a white cat, he has a higher chance of getting skin cancer (a small amout of sunscreen on his ears is good), but an occasional assisted romp in the back yard would be exciting for him. He will climb a fence, if you take your eyes off of him for a moment. He is very fast and somewhat hard headed. If he scales a fence, the chase will be on and he will be very hard to catch.
Jayce can be very stubborn and will put up a good fight when he decides he doesn't want to cooperate like trimming his nails or administering medications. But he loves moist food, so hiding his meds in his food usually get the job done while he is eating.
I have not seen any bad habits from him. He used his litter box readily and will happily sharpen his claws on cat scratchers. He will share his food very nicely with others and expects the same courtesy extended to him when he tries to see what's in the other pets bowls.
Jayce is definitely independent, yet beautiful, fun, curious and adventurous!
ANNIE
Our sweet Annie is such a beautiful girl, but has been sad since the loss of her family. She would love to find a forever home where she's the center of attention. Let's give this great little kitty a new home!
LADY
Lovely Lady is a beautiful 8 year old mixed breed (you're guess is as good as ours) turned into the Shelter because she ran away. And, why not, she was virtually bred every year over her lifetime. We find her just a Doll, and NOT inclinded to run away, but rather, gets emotionally attached readily. In her Foster Home, she likes to sleep next to you and gets along well with the other Foster dogs and cats. She not possessive with her food bowl and is housebroken. She now deserves a loving peaceful life after raising so many kids!
UPDATE 6/21/2010...She had been adopted for the past 9 months to a family but she was playing too rough with their little girl. They decided she was too much for them, especially when they did not have a fenced yard. We have decided she needs a fenced yard, able to come and go inside the home or garage and would love to have a companion dog with her for company if she is left alone. She does have some separation anxiety, but with another dog she did fine in the foster home.
