Tinker

***** Tinker is a short-haired stray that showed up at my house around the end May. She looked about 3-4 months old at that time, but I’m not sure. She has now been spayed, has all her shots, gets monthly flea treatments, and is in excellent health. As of today, she’s approximately 10 months old. She’s mostly gray and white, with just a little tan mixed in. She has an extra-fluffy tail. She is a very playful kitten who’s bored with her other 2 kitty housemates that are old and won’t play with her. I think she would thrive in a home with kitties her same age. She does go outside some, but she likes indoors better. I think she would have no problem becoming a totally indoor cat, especially with having other kitties to play with. Tinker has the “helper” personality. She wants to be involved in everything and likes to lend a helping paw. Even if she’s not quite the lap-cat yet, she wants to be where you are. She follows me from room to room, watching everything I do. She has no fear of anything or anyone, not even the vacuum cleaner or the hair dryer. She loves to bat her ping pong balls around the house and chase all her feathered toys. It breaks my heart to give her up, but Tinker really needs a home with younger, more playful and active cats. My older cats are not happy with her and don’t appreciate her energy. I’d be willing to let anyone interested have a “trial period” and would not hesitate to take her back if it doesn’t work out.

FEMALE KITTEN IN TIMBERVILLE VA

This kitten appeared at our house in Timberville 3 weeks ago. She was very friendly and was obviously someone’s pet before coming to our house. She did not touch the water bowl we gave her and will only drink milk. Don’t think a stray cat would do that. She is very affectionate and loves our little Yorkie mix. When we take the dog for a walk in the backyard, she walks along (even in rain)! We contacted Cat’s Cradle and they told us they could help if we first had her spayed but they could not guarantee anything. We do not want to take her to SPCA. We have an appt on Sept 17 to have her spayed and give her the first set of shots. Helen H. Moore Phone 540-568-2902

Brutus : )

My husband and I are in a dilemma. We have a rescue dog named Brutus. Brutus appears to be a red lab, approximately 3 years old. I do not think he has ever had shots or even been to a vet. We live in a very small space and Brutus is, well, a brute. He is currently tied via 20 ft. cable and we have a HUGE dog box that my husband got from his Dad on a temporary basis. We are desperately seeking a loving home for Brutus. Preferably, one with a fenced in yard or someplace where he can safely run. He is so loveable and I just wish we could keep him but cannot and I cannot take the fact that he is on a dang cable. Do you know of anyone that would be interested?

Male Kitten #2

We have to find homes for 3 kittens this weekend. There are two males, both orange, and one female brown/black tabby that are around 7-8 weeks old. They showed up at my husband’s work, and he’s been taking care of them and their mom, and has been able to find homes for the mom and siblings. His boss has told him these three cannot stay. If you, or anyone you know would be able to take one of these guys, please let me know today. CONTACT MARTENEA@jmu.edu

Brute

Brute is about 9 months old and is at 45 lbs. He has medium to high energy levels right now and can tire easily with exercise. He is Norwegian Elkhound mix -- he does know simple commands as sit or get down or no. He also chases his tail. Not sure how he learned that one yet, but if you hold his tail and say get it -- he chases it as long as he can stand. He has been trained to stay in his cage or kennel for a few hours at a time. He is house trained -- however if you leave him inside for several hours he can have an accident. He gets along with other animals (we have two small dogs and a cat) He does forget at times that he is a bigger dog than smaller animals and still wants to play but with a little bit of correction he will back off.
