Its been a bust week, thats for sure.
As you all know - it is Kitten season, and the shelters around the country are PACKED with kittens, all sizes and shapes. And there are not enough adoptions, which is really sad.
Currently we have over 40 kittens at the adoption center. Two new ones were brought in today, by two soldier-girls, that were really worried when they heard the crying of kittens outside their house - and they found these two preciouse tabbys, under their car. They looked for the mom or owner, but no one seemd to know anything. So they went from shelter to shelter, and got kicked out of all of them. And of course, when they came to us, we just couldn't say no... We realize that if we say "no" - these kittens might end up dead. So, we do our best to accomodate as many as we can, but we have reached our limits - no more space, and no more money...
So, on the brighter side, we had two adoptions today, bith very exciting. One, was a couple of men that live together and lost their cat of the last 13 years, adopted our very own Duby!!! Duby is a long hair angel, that was declawed by his owners, right before they passed away. He was brought to the shelter by the family after the Grandmother (the owner) passed away. Duby has the body language of a Ragdoll - so softy and cuddly, and you can hold him like a baby in your arms. For TWO months, we could not re-home him, and we watched him sink in depression, which was very very sad for us all (Im almost crying just thinking about it). And today, these great folks decided to give him a home!!
The other adoption was a surprising one: it was a kitten, that was brought in by on of our wonderful volunteers, after she found him in the hallway of an apartment building, beggin to get into one of the apartments. She knocked on the door, and theguy inside told her he took the litten about a week ago from a shelter, and "is no longer interested" in him!!!! how very upseting!!
When she brought him in, we found out he needs abdominal surgery... So he wasn't liklely to get adopted. BUT THEN, this lady who lives with her young son, just fell inlove with him, and wanted him right after he recovers from surgery!!! Gosh, were we happy...
Thats it for now! want to find out more about us or donate to our efforts? Please log on to The Cat Welfare Society Of Israel.
