Cool Kitty and Happy Pups

After retiring from the School District I decided that I wanted to do something with my time that would make a difference.   I went to the York County Animal Shelter for their training for volunteers.  Since the training I have had many happy hours working with the animals that end up there.  These cats and dogs are waiting for their new owners to come out and adopt them and give them a better life.  As a volunteer we walk the dogs and give them the opportunity to get out in the sunshine for a walk.  The cats can be taken in the cat room where potential owners can view them up close.  We would love to have some more “Cat” people to volunteer so that the cats can have some fun interaction with humans each day.  I am not really a “cat” person, having dogs my whole life, but I am trying to spend more time with them so that they can have some fun too!  They are some of the prettiest and most affectionate cats you can imagine!  Today I did a new photograph of one of the cats.  He is a “COOL” kitty.  Sweet, lovable and playful all rolled into one.  Come and check him out.  ID# A043167 Male Black domestic **

1 year, 2 months old.

Also today I was able to meet 2 of the new dogs that are up for adoption.  Radar (ID#A042001) the min pin and Jacky the Jack Russell mix.  Radar is a very cute and energetic little guy that would be your best buddy.  Jacky (ID#A043713) is a handsome brindle and white pup.  He is a high energy kind of guy.  They are looking for their forever homes.

Happy New Year Kitty!!

Armed with coffee this morning I set out for York to meet my friend at the Animal Shelter.  We had decided that we would meet as soon as she got off from working all night at the hospital.  Betsy adopted some of her babies at the shelter earlier in 2010.  She is starting off the New Year 2011 by giving a home to another one of the kittens that we have for adoption. 

Walking around the cat rooms, we viewed and talked about many of the beautiful cats and kittens that put their paws out to touch us as we passed.  They are all hungry for human touch and affection and rub the cages to get our attention.  Betsy had already viewed the cats for adoption online and had narrowed it down to 2 or 3 of them.  Finally we stopped at the cage for “Callie” a cool kitty that caught her eye.  We took her into the cat viewing room and played with her.  The decision was made!!  Callie will be going home with her new Mom tomorrow after her vetting is done. 

Betsy and Callie are excited to start off this new year experiencing adventures that only a little kitten can bring to your life!!!  If you want to feel that unconditional LOVE that an animal can give, come and visit the shelter in York for your next family member!
