Temp Foster Homes Needed for JMU Kitties

This mommy and babies were rescued from certain death at the JMU student apartment building on S. Main and Maryland Ave. One of the rescuers (Ramona Messenger) has them on a temporary basis but needs to find folks to help foster them until they can be adopted or placed into foster care with Cats Cradle. She has spoken with CC and their foster homes are all full right now.

She thinks the kittens are about 4 weeks old. They are eating dry (and some moist) food, drinking water, playing like crazy and very happy and apparently healthy. They are adorable, as the photos prove.

Could you share this email with all the animal lovers in your address book? We desperately NEED foster care for these sweeties - they are NOT feral or wild - they are very tame and loving but need human contact and people to play with them and love them until they can find permanent homes. I will continue to be the liaison with Cats Cradle and will help get the kittens into the "system".

Please contact Ramona Messenger at messenrd@jmu.edu

--Free to a good home-- Hi! My name is Susie and I am a sweet, adorable, loving and litter box trained adult kitty. I need a very loving home as my owner can no longer keep me. :( Please call my owner at 540-433-1422.

Male Doberman

Bailey, a fixed male Doberman, is looking for a forever home. He is a "blue" and weighs 103 pounds. His tail is docked but not his ears and he has up-to-date shots. He is currently housed with another dog. With the addition of a new baby in the household bringing his human family to a total of 5 children he needs more space and attention than his current family can give. He's a sweet boy but yet is a good guard dog. He's been raised with 4 little children and is protective, but he thinks he's a lap dog too.

One of his bad habits is chewing things up and stealing stuff off counters and out of trash cans. Another bad habit is trampling over anyone in his way when someone comes knocking at the door. His family knows with some attention, etc he can be corrected of these problems. His human family is just fearful with the new baby. Again, just no more room in the house for 2 big dogs, too. If he just had a place to run and work off energy and have someone willing to work with him he'd be fine. His current family feels he would be better placed with a single person or a couple.

His family is in a time crunch in finding him a good home so please contact Nicole or husband Heath at 908-5417 (cell) for more information.

Jack Russell/Mountain Feist Mix

Hey guys!



"As most of you know, the boys and I got a new puppy. He was born May 20th. He is a Jack Russell/Mountain Feist mix. I really need to find him a home where he either has constant attention or a place to run. He is a very good dog and listens really well. If you are interested in him I will gladly give him to you or if you know someone who might be interested please let me know.

I’ve attached some pictures and he is just adorable. If I could give him the time that he deserves and a place to run I would gladly keep him.

Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a great day!"

Trained Tabby Cat

This kitty is an approximate 4-year old, spayed female, litter box trained, scratching post trained tabby cat. A lady at work found her on her walk one
evening and it followed her home. She lives on busy US 42 North with
three indoor cats and just feels she cannot take in another one. She
did advertise on the radio and with the SPCA that she found this
friendly cat, but no one is missing her. She took her to the vet to
make sure she was healthy and found that she had already been spayed.
The kitty loves to sit on laps and loves attention. I just thought if
someone wanted a mature, well-trained, lovable cat now would be a good
opportunity. People can contact Kelly Lineweaver at klineweaver@harrisonburg.k12.va.us

Thank you.

Cat Looking for a Home

Hi folks,

We are looking to find a good home and loving family for a real cutie of a cat. She is about one year old, she has been neutered and declawed so she is definitely an inside cat. She is actually a pretty small cat.

If you know of anyone that would be interested, please let me know at 540 568 7078

Thanks, Kathy
