Sweet Kitty

Message from JMU colleague: Hi Tanya, I am emailing you in hopes that you can help me with a sweet little kitten. While cooking dinner last night, my cat started crying at the back door and when I looked out there was a little orange tabby kitten sitting by my back door. He was so skinny and looked to have a terrible cold so I took him to the vet this morning. He has a slight fever and has been treated for an upper respiratory infection … he should be back to normal health by next week and all he will need are his vaccinations. The vet said he is about 14 weeks old and he weighed in this morning at 3lbs 2oz. (I have attached pictures of him to the email.) I currently have two cats of my own in a small townhouse and unfortunately I have no room for a new kitten. He is so sweet and he purrs constantly. He just needs a little love. I could not leave him outside last night, and I cannot put him back outside, but I really cannot keep him either. I was wondering if you could send out a message to your animal blog group to see if anyone would be willing to give him a forever home, or if you know of anyone that could take him in. I can keep him through next week to make sure he is over his infection, but I need to find him a safe place within a the next few weeks. Please contact Keitha Truong at truongkl@jmu.edu.

I have an older outdoor dog that needs to be re-homed as soon as possible. I have moved to Florida and my husband will be joining me this weekend. My parents, who live in Shenandoah County, can foster him for a little while, but are unwilling to take him on a permanent basis. He was picked up as an adult stray by the Page County Animal shelter. We adopted him in December of 2008. While we tried crate training him, he is not housebroken. He is too accustomed to being outside. I believe he was a hunting dog that was never kept inside prior to us. His name is Bixby and he is a beagle/basset hound mix. He is as sweet as can be. Doesn't know a stranger. He is content to lay around and watch the world go by. Here is a link to my FB album of him: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10201782791950958.1073741827.1216434282&type=1&l=0997100348. He loves people and other dogs. He learned to tolerate our 4 cats, but has chased ones he saw outside. He is current on all of his shots and is a patient of Blue Mountain Animal Clinic in Luray. If we weren't going to the land of gators and snakes, he'd be staying with us... Thank you so much for any help you may be able to offer, DeeAnn Diaczynsky 540-331-4272

4 Cats

There are 4 kitties (only 3 pictured) who are looking for very loving homes ASAP. Their human mommy has left the home and the human daddy is not able to afford to take care of them so please open your heart up to one of these babies and if you are not able to take one, please share this with others. You may contact Josh at 540-214-6645. (The kitty with the crossed eyes is blind and possibly pregnant. Her name is Lilly) The black cat is a male and his name is Milo. The gray female kitty is Pebbles (about 3 months old) and another kitty (not pictured) who looks just like Pebbles is a female and her name is Jada. None are spayed/neutered and all are indoor/outdoor kitties.
