Pet of the Day: Miss Kitty

Submitted

I am the sweetest, most magnificently marked Miss Kitty.

I went home with Miss Jeannie for a while, and she just loved on me and my new kittens. She nursed me and my babies, and then it was time for them to venture into the world on their own in their forever homes. It made me sad to see them go, but you know, I have a life of my own, and it was time for them to spread their wings and fly. Yep, they were all three adopted. So it’s my turn now.

Miss Kitty has been at the shelter and in foster care for so long now that I have lost track of her intake date. Please consider giving this sweet lady a home. She is with a foster now, but it is not a permanent home. The shelter opened again on Tuesday at 11 a.m. Please share for Miss Kitty. [Read more…]

Tobias—what a perfect name for me! It’s the Greek translation of a Hebrew name that means “the goodness of God.”

I look like I may be an American Foxhound mix, around two, and I’m super friendly! I’m ready to be your forever friend on Tuesday, June 3. Better hurry!

Yes, I know that I am an incredibly handsome thing with gorgeous long hair…Miss Sandi and Miss Beverly, are you paying attention?

I am a little overwhelmed right now and get anxious around other animals, but I really just want out of here and need to go to my forever human soon. I promise that I am irresistible. Do I have your attention yet?

What’s it to you…if you are not here to adopt us, then move along and make room for our other audience…there is a standing-room-only line. My sibling is a little shy so is hiding behind me, playing peekaboo with you. We need a home and expect you to scoop us right up and love us real good. We need some playmates of our own. So we pick you and you and you!

Why pick just one when you can have two???

Sophia—I am of course, Sophia Loren’s namesake because I am sooo beautiful! I’m six years old, well-mannered on a leash, and would make a fantastic family pet!

If you will remember, no matter how old Sophia is, she is a beautiful as ever. She is so calm and just wants to be loved. Will you make her your new best friend?

SARG celebrated the first run of its newly acquired van with supporters in May as it was filled with two dogs, six adult cats, and five kittens headed from the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter to their new forever homes in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The van was purchased using the last three years of proceeds from the Paw for Life Gala fundraiser that SARG has sponsored. SARG Vice President and Gala Chairwoman Sara Moore, and photographer of this event, was jubilant; “Raising the funds to buy this van and save all the lives of our unwanted dogs/cats in our community is the best feeling in the world. We thank all that have always supported SARG to share in this joyous occasion. We look forward to continuing our trips to communities who have homes for all our overflow of dogs and cats.”

If you would like to assist SARG in this endeavor or any others relating to their mission, contact Moore at poohbear214@comcast.net or Shirley Auble at shirsarg@comcast.net, or visit Shelter Animal Rescue Group on Facebook or visit the website at www.shelteranimalsrescue.org.

I am a real lover too. I am not accustomed to steel walls, so I certainly expect a castle fit for a princess soon. Can you accommodate that request…this week is not early enough for me! Tuesday when they open would be perfect!

Here’s to my forever family, with all the royal smooches I can muster. =^..^= [Read more…]
