Cuties : )

(Note: the gray/white kitten pictured has found a home) Someone decided last night that the end of my driveway was a good place to leave these three kittens. They look to be about 6-8 weeks old and in good health. The blonde and gray/white kittens are still skittish, but the gray one is very friendly. The gray one is a girl, unsure about the other two. Not sure if they are litter box trained, but they are eating dry food just fine. Looking for good homes for these kittens. Would love to keep these siblings together! Serious inquiries only, please. My email is sarah@resultsauction.com, cell is 571-242-0114, and the kittens can be picked up at my work on the Winchester walking mall.

Kitties

Two kittens ready for adoption! They were rescued in Elkton off the side of the road at about 4-6 weeks. They are flea free, dewormed, and litter box trained. Approx. 12-16 weeks old. They have been hand raised by my kids and have been with our dogs, cats, rabbit, and chickens. They are socialized and sweet. Calico is the largest, very independent, but loving. Grey is the runt and very sweet. I am in Swoope,VA (outside of Staunton) and need homes for them ASAP! I will drive and meet you with them. Please contact me, Ashley Cole-Virani at ashcole82@gmail.com.

ADOPTED !!!!!!!! Franklin

ADOPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADOPTED!!! "Franklin is an extremely sweet, loving 4 year old Dachshund/Basset mix, but he needs a lot of attention because he has separation anxiety and is a "Velcro dog."(contributes to him having trouble being left alone for long periods of time) The husband works full time and the wife works part time and just started going back to school full time. As a result, they are just not able to be around as much or provide the best care for him anymore. They recently took him to the SPCA and after a few days they were told that he is "unadoptable" and would be put-down. They are now trying to find a home for him themselves to avoid having him put down. Franklin gets along with other animals and currently lives with 2 cats. He loves to go for walks! When he is not playing, he will often curl up right beside you and nap. He knows how to sit, lay down, jump up, and high five (technically "low" five since his legs are so short). He also understands 'treat' and 'out' are to let him know you're taking him to the yard." Please contact Tanya at shiffltl@jmu.edu and she will put you in touch with the owner.

Male Kitty

CONTACT: Mary Ann Miller Here's a cutie patooty male kitty! He will need to be with someone who will be willing to help him get used to a new enviroment. He seems fine with dogs and cats but quick movement and loud noise scare him a little. Inside life is all new to him. Please contact Mary Ann Miller at edge-of-17@hotmail.com if you are interested.

Emma

Emma is such a little sweetheart that I really, really hate to part with her. She is spayed and micro chipped and up to date on all her shots until Spring 2014. I think she would do best as a single cat, although she lives with my male cat Owen. She is very affectionate and is over weight right now. She is initially shy and I suspect that her vision isn't perfect. She is incredibly soft and likes to be brushed. Please contact Kathy at nanakoc5@yahoo.com

American Bulldog

Sadly, must rehome 3 year old American Bulldog. Looking for a forever home with an EXPERIENCED large dog owner and a FENCED yard. Excellent temperament, non-dominant. Owner enlisting in the military. Good with kids, horses, known dogs, doesn't bother our cat. Not good with trespassers or dogs who stray into the yard. Neutered & utd on vaccinations. Knows basic commands and loves people. Will go to his new home with XL crate, toys, flea and heartworm meds, etc... Very fair rehoming fee. Will do home visit and check vet records, as we love this dog and want the best for him. Please email hiddenrockfarm@msn.com.

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.
