Today was Mama's first day of volunteering at Great Plains SPCA in Merriam. It didn't take long for her to make a lot of new kitty friends! She sat in one of the colony rooms to hang out and read. Before she could even get settled, Dillon, a handsome Siamese, introduced himself.
He gave a little meow and sat right down. Soon, he even climbed into Mama's lap! He gave her head butts and licked her finger. What a charmer!
Dillon is 3 years old and has been at the shelter for about a month. He's living peacefully with 2 other cats in the colony room and came from a home where he lived with another cat.
He's a big fella just full of love. He'd make a great addition to a family. A young volunteer came in and played with Dillon while Mama was in there. He really liked the wand toy and batted a jingle ball around a bit.
If you're interested in meeting Dillon, make your way to Great Plains SPCA in Merriam. I'm sure after a short visit, you'll be just as smitten as Mama was!
Mama met a very handsome boy at Wayside Waifs last night. His name is Sinatra and he's a flame-point Siamese. Talk about Old Blue Eyes! This guy has some peepers!
Sinatra, a youngun' at 2 years old, came to Wayside from another shelter. He has had some issues with skin allergies and ended up with a few hotspots. Now that the allergies have cleared up, his fur is filling in where it had been kind of thin.
Sinatra is also FIV positive, but like I have explained before, FIV isn't a big issue. As long as a kitty has regular veterinary check-ups and is kept healthy, he can live a long, normal life.
He is a friendly guy who gets along with other cats. Right now he's rooming with another FIV positive kitty, Scotty. (Look for more info about Scotty soon.)
If you are interested in adopting Sinatra, you should probably act fast. A kitty that handsome won't last long!
UPDATE
Scotty and Sinatra were adopted together yesterday!
Oh my cat! Mom can't stop talking about Stitch! He's a five-year-old Siamese mix available for adoption from Wayside Waifs in Kansas City. She keeps saying things like "He's such a lover!" and "He gives the best hugs!" Well, I beg to differ since I'm the sweetest, cuddliest cat in the world, but it's hard to argue with Mom when she has found a new shelter love.
Stitch has quite a story. He was transferred to Wayside from a smaller shelter that didn't have the resources to give him the care that he needed. He was in pretty bad shape, possibly having been attacked by another animal. The other shelter sewed him up, but by the time he got to Wayside, the wounds were opening up and had to be tended to again. He had stitches around his neck and running down and under his right arm. The awesome V-E-Ts at Wayside got him all fixed up and sent him to foster to heal properly.
Let me tell ya, now that he's all better, he hasn't let those old injuries turn him sour. When a volunteer opens the door to his kennel, he gets up and wraps his paws around their neck, nuzzling their face and purring like crazy! Of course, Mom is a sap and eats it all up.
Now, being a cat, when Stitch is done with all that nuzzling and hugging business, he lets you know. He's not shy about telling you when enough is enough so of course all his cuddling is done on HIS terms. Another thing, Stitch isn't fond of children, so he would be best as a pet in an adult home.
If you think Stitch would be a good match for you, go meet him at Wayside Waifs. You'll at least get a hug out of the trip!
UPDATE 11/5/11: STITCH WENT TO HIS FOREVER HOME TODAY! CONGRATS STITCH!!
