Good News about the Shelter Cats!

The Fairhaven Animal Shelter has officially closed. Cause for Paws took out fourteen cats, and all are safe now in foster homes. The Siamese, which I named Coco, has already been adopted, and is living happily in his new Forever Home. The little black kitten has been taken from a porch, which was getting mighty chilly, by a loving family on the Cape. They drove up to Mattapoisett on the Tuesday which was bone-chilling and terribly windy. That is a family which really cares! Cause for Paws hopes to find places to put the others, too, of course. Anyone interested in adoption should call Mary Lou Kobak at 508-758-9202. All the cats may be seen on Petfinder if you put in "cat" and the Mattapoisett zip code "02739".

Fairhaven shelter to hold LAST adoption day 12/13/09

The Cause for Paws organization has been working overtime to get as many cats out as we can before the closing date. We believe that those remaining will most likely be euthanized. The decision as to which ones to take was heart-breaking, but those most likely to be adopted were selected first. (I told the staff that I was reminded of the internment camps of World War II.) My own new little guys are really sweet. I am currently hosting a beautiful dark-pointed Siamese whom I have named Coco after my favorite cat of all time. He is quite shy, but don't worry, I will hug him into submission. No one escapes my clutches without knowing what it is to be loved......His companion is Yum Yum (both names from the "Mikado"), a big orange striped boy. Yummy is extremely friendly and eager to get out of their room and meet everyone else. They will be isolated for a while to get used to their new comfortable arrangements, so different from cages! What wonderful gifts for someone at Christmas...... All the C for P volunteers have their cat rooms stuffed right now. Anyone looking for a fascinating feline should call Mary Lou at 508-758-9202 or me, Judie, at 508-748-1231.
