FrontLine Needed for
Cats and Kittens Now.
During the summer months, the Humane
Society receives many cats and kittens infested with fleas. We
desperately need Frontline for cats and kittens. If you wish to
donate Frontline, you can purchase it at our front counter at our
cost, or send a donation specifying that it is for Frontline.

Look at me! Don't I have the most beautiful
green eyes that you ever saw? My story is a sad
one. For years I had a loving owner and recently
she passed away and there was no one to take
care of me so I was brought to the Humane
Society. I was so lonely at the Humane Society
and cried all the time, so a volunteer decided
to foster me. I like it here as I have many
window perches to watch the birds, but some of
the other cats like to chase me and it scares
me. I really need a home with adults and perhaps
a gentle cat. I am very loving and like to play
with toys. I eat dry food and a little canned
food for a treat. I am also declawed and I am
very small, so I wouldn't take up
much room. If you would like to meet me, please
call my foster Mom at 724-267-4129.

Little Bitty Bocefious Needs Your
Help |
|
|
 |
| |
Bocefious came to
us as a stray on May 9th, 2007. He had a very bad, large,
infected wound on his head near his ear. This was treated and
took an inordinately long time to heal. Shortly thereafter he
was diagnosed with diabetes and treated with insulin. An initial
first foster home was found for him and his wound healed, but
the foster parent had to return him because she was not allowed
to have pets where she rented. Since that time, Bocefious has
been a model patient and tolerates his twice daily insulin shots
well. We let him exercise each day. He is a very lovable
cat. His blood has been tested several times and insulin
levels gauged for the day which fluctuated at different high
rates. The veterinarian is evaluating these levels and will
determine course of treatment and insulin required. Bocefious
will always need insulin which is very expensive for the
shelter. We are appealing to our members and the public to help
us with this ongoing expense. The sweet orange kitty is in another foster home and this will help with his
care. The lady
fostering him will adopt him if someone will volunteer to
provide his Insulin for as long as he lives.
He is a delightful and loving cat who only wants to be in
loving home. Please help us take care of him. Please make
donations marked for the "BOCEFIOUS FUND". Thank you for your
help.

We are two beautiful, lonely calico cats. Our
owner passed away and now we lost our wonderful
home and have to live in a cage which is so
depressing. We are sisters and don't want to be
separated. We are very gentle and a little shy
so we need to be in an adult home. We do like
other gentle cats. We like to be held and loved.
We are middle age cats, but feel we have lots of
years left to love and be loved. Someone has
donated some money for us to have our teeth
cleaned and then we are ready for that forever
home. Please come and visit us at the Humane
Society.

Weekend Volunteers |
|
Penny Savers |
| |
Volunteers are needed to occasionally check on our cats at the Strabane Square PetSmart
in Washington. We have 4 cages in the store displaying our cats.
Volunteers check on food and water supplies, scoop kitty
litter pans, brush the cats and show them to potential adopters. If you
could help 1 or 2 days a month, please call Patty at 724-267-4129.
|
|
Why not volunteer one Saturday or Sunday a
month to introduce our cats to clients? Your care in brushing and handling
the cats will also help improve their socialization skills.
We
also need volunteers to help with adoption follow-up phone
calls. This is great P.R. for the Humane Society and adopters
love talking about their new friend. Call Patty 724-267-4129. |

Some cats like small change, but to
play it safe, it's better to put your pennies in a piggy bank or
at least out of reach.
All pennies minted after 1982 contain
96% Zinc, which can be poisonous to pets. |

I am a
beautiful neutered male and I was brought to the WAHS by
a good Samaritan. My right-front paw was injured and
needed to be removed, but I get around just great on 3
legs. The vet thought it looked like I was caught in a
trap and that was very painful. I was scared of everyone
at first, but have come to love and trust these good
people who are caring for me. I am a love-bug. I know I
am black and don't have a coat of beautiful colors, but
I am beautiful inside. I love to play and am very loving
and gentle. I dream of the day when someone will give me
a safe, indoor, loving home where I can never be hurt
again. Please come and visit me, I'll be waiting for
you!!

I am a beautiful, black, declawed, neutered, male cat. My story
is a sad one. I was adopted last year to a very nice family that had another cat
and a dog. I could handle the cat, but the dog was very obnoxious. He constantly
barked and lunged at anyone who came to the door and he scared me so I
challenged him. This went on for almost a year and then my new- family- decided
to return me to the Humane Society. I need a home with no dogs and would get
along with a gentle female cat. It is so depressing sitting in this cage again,
everyone wants kittens this time of year and I dread to think I may be here for
a long time. I love to play and I loved to have my head rubbed and I could be
your purr-fect lap cat. Please come and visit me and all my other new friends
here. We all need someone to love us.
