People for Cats: Meet Misha

Misha was a stray in Mashpee who was lucky enough to have a kind person feed her until she eventually came to us. She is still quite thin but has relaxed in a suite at the shelter and is ready for a real home. We  think this long, slender tortoiseshell girl is 6 – 8 years old. Quiet and friendly, Misha is ready to put her days of fending for herself behind her and eager to share her company from now on with someone in a calm home. We think Misha would prefer to be the only pet, but her only other requirements for a happy life would be a sunny window for naps, a reliable source of food, and someone to give her the affection she missed out on these last few months.

Our shelter is located at 44 Beagle Lane in Teaticket. Visit Misha and our other cats on Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., or call our hotline for an appointment.

The Garden Muse: Thrillers, Fillers and Spillers

This month is very, very busy as so many outdoor tasks and household must dos are crying for our attention. It may mean painting, cleaning out garages for that sale, power washing the deck, cleaning windows and putting in screens, retrieving outdoor furniture from its winter storage location and the list goes on and on. Memorial Day is on the horizon and many of us anticipate the arrival of guests and planning for those festive cookouts. (more…)

Lighten Up, Will Ya?

Summer is around the corner, and this season on the Cape, it’s all about light and bright colors: orange, aqua, robin’s egg blue, yellow, hot pink, etc. Many of us tend to shy away from these hues, as we haven’t seen such bold colors since the late 80’s – and let’s be honest, we all groan a little bit when we look back at photos from that decade.

Fortunately, the experts at Empire Beauty School offered the following tips on how to lighten and brighten up your style this summer:

• Make-Up: Don’t be afraid to wear bold eye shadow and lip colors. Apply a neutral color, like taupe, to the base of your eye, and accent it with a brush of aqua in the crease or blue eyeliner across the lash line. If you’re the kind of girl who just can’t let go of her neutral shades, try applying a brighter shade to your cheeks or a shiny salmon colored lip gloss. Using a bronzer with a built in shimmer will also give your skin a summer glow. (more…)

People for Cats: Meet Dottie!

This petite, one year old, gray tuxedo is Dottie. In spite of having been abandoned in Pocasset, she is a friendly, curious, and playful girl. Dottie gently touches our faces with her paw and affectionately butts her forehead against us. We think this happy girl would prefer to be the only cat in a household, but she might be okay with a dog and should be fine with children. A forever home of her own is our wish for Dottie.

Adoption hours at our shelter our Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., or by appointment. The shelter address is 44 Beagle Lane in Teaticket.

Prom 2012: All About Color

Spring on the Cape is abundant with color, and so is prom 2012. Gather inspiration for your vibrant prom look from these eye catching designer dresses:

Tony Bowls Le Gala Dress 112517 

For the adventurous girl, prom is a way to make a statement. This bold, attention grabbing dress catches your eye with a rhinestone-embellished waist before it flows gracefully to the floor in a bright floral pattern. You can rock this floral strapless dress in pink or purple tones.

Choose jewelry that shimmers to play off the rhinestone details, but don’t overdo it on the jewelry, as you don’t want to take away from the statement of the dress. Have fun with your hair style though, with either an elegant updo, or let your mane flow in exaggerated curls. Whichever you choose, you are sure to have all eyes on you on prom night. (more…)
