The good news: There was an empty cage due to an adoption over the weekend, and 3 of our big guys got adopted since last Monday, plus a few kittens.
After cage cleaning, a pair of kittens were brought out for the empty cage. About 8 weeks old, black and white male and an all-white female with blue eyes. They were in the cage only 15 minutes before the white one was adopted.
The bad news: We have a gorgeous charcoal long-haired female who was abandoned in a carrier at our door. She must have some Persian in her; she was a white undercoat. When I brushed her, all I got was white, not the gray/black! She's a little skittish, but she loves to be brushed.
A family brought in a Saint Bernard with a mangled rear foot. It was obviously broken, bleeding, and infected. The owner said the dog got tangled in a chain, so tight he had to cut it off. From the looks of the dog, I would guess it's been chained in the back yard for a long time, in 100+ degree heat. Still, the dog never complained and followed willingly anyone who led him. The owner surrendered him so he could be put to sleep. After a quick exam, they decided that was best. The worse news: When I went up to my vet to pay for the monthly neuter for a cat who really needs it, I discovered our vet wants a St. Bernard and would have taken this one, injury and all. Poor baby.
