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.

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.

People for Cats: Razz

We are looking for someone special to adopt our Razz. He is a healthy, nine year old brown tabby with distinctive round, yellow eyes. When Razz first came to us more than a year ago, he was painfully shy and withdrawn. After having spent many months in a loving foster home, Razz has become a different cat. Although he waits to be approached, Razz is super affectionate, rolling over and purring loudly to enjoy receiving any attention. Recently he again spent a month in someone’s home, where he was most happy being a lap cat or curling up on the bed during the night. Now Razz is ready to find his forever home in a quiet setting where he can devote all his affection to his own special person.

Our shelter is located at 44 Beagle Lane in Teaticket. Adoption hours are Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., or call our hotline for an appointment.

People For Cats

Brooke is a 7 month old tuxedo boy who has already been neutered and had all his shots. He is shy with strangers but once he gets to know someone Brooke is a snuggler. His main interest at this stage of his life is play, play, play! Curious about everything around him, Brooke will happily investigate his surroundings and play enthusiastically with cat toys. Having another playful cat with whom to share the fun is an added bonus for Brooke. This young cat needs a home where he can develop a bond with someone and where his lively personality will be appreciated. Brooke would prefer there be no very young children but a family with older children and another friendly cat would be perfect.

Visit our shelter at 44 Beagle Lane in Teaticket. Adoption hours are Wednesdays from 4 to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., or call our hotline for an appointment.

Running with the Dogs

Did you know that according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 62% of US households own a pet? That equates to 72.9 million homes, which equates to a very healthy pet product and service industry!

We are fortunate here on the Cape to have access to a close knit community of providers that cater to the care and well being of our animals. As our first Happening Pets feature we wanted to introduce CapeK9Cardio a premier pet sitting business based out of East Falmouth. We had the pleasure of meeting with Jason and Laura Michaud, owners of CapeK9Cardio. Not only do they offer pet care services for when owners are away from home, but they have an attitude towards pet health that rivals that of us humans … running is good for the soul. They bring a feverish energy and unparalleled passion to what they do and after spending time with them, you can understand why their business is such a success. (more…)
