Urgently Looking for a Loving Home

23 July 2010

Dear All,

We are urgently looking for a loving home for this beautiful male cat named Patches.

He was abandoned along with 9 other cats and 4 dogs by his owners when they immigrated.

Unfortunately the other animals were taken in by the SPCA.

He is a very affectionate cat and gets along with dogs brilliantly.

The wonderful lady taking care of him at the moment cannot keep him as he does not get along with her male cat as they a both dominant males.

If anybody is willing to give this stunning cat a home, you can contact Molly MacFarlane on 083 555 5925.

Photo's of him are on the Facebook page.

Gorgeous Puppies available at Kitty Shelter

03 June 2010

Dear All,

Kitty Shelter recently rescued three puppies from an illegal vendor on the side of the road. The puppies had been taken from their mom too young and were not yet able to eat on their own and were literally starving. Kitty Shelter took them in and placed them at a volunteers home and bottle fed them back to health. They are now strong and healthy, eat on their own and ready to be re-homed.

THEY LOVE PEOPLE AND CATS!

They are currently named Sugar, Spice and Buttercup :) 

They are vaccinated and dewormed.

If you would like to find out about adoption please call Kitty Shelter on (011) 447 5275.

Photo's of them are on the Facebook page.

Woof woof!

BUS Crashes into Kitty Shelter

11 March 2010

Dear All,

This was the scene at Kitty Shelter today, 4.45pm.

Total disaster, the bus lost control when his brakes failed and crashed into our wall, we couldn't find the puppies at first but eventually found the them hiding in the corner terrified.

Thanks goodness the driver only had a few broken bones and there were no passengers.

All the animals were fine but very scared with all the noise and commotion, a terrible set-back for us!

We desperately need somebody to repaint the sign and we need the funds to rebuild puppy area.

Thanks Merien

A BIG THANK YOU!!
