Take Faith home

To quote singer George Michael, "You gotta have Faith."

In this photo, she is demonstrating her versatility for the camera as she poses as a Halloween decoration.

Faith is available for employment through the Barn Cat Buddy program, a joint venture of Roanoke's Angels of Assisi and Franklin County's Humane Society.

According to the Angels Web site: "Faith was trapped by a person who thought she was feral (wild). But she's not wild at all. She's sweet however cautious of strangers till you reach out and give her a little scratch behind the ears. She is a loving and sweet kitty who was probably not given tenderness. Someone dropped her off at a modular home manufacturer in Franklin County and that is where she had her two kittens Hope and Charity. So Faith, Hope and Charity are now all up for adoption."

Barn Cat Buddies are available for adoption at no charge (though a donation would be very much appreciated) and all house kitties at Angels of Assisi are adopt-one-get-one-free for the rest of June, otherwise known as Adopt a Shelter Cat month.

Foster homes for the holidays

The Roanoke Valley SPCA is participating in the national “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” pet fostering program.

Over 13,000 pet rescue organizations nationwide are trying to empty the kennels for Christmas, encouraging families to open their home for the holidays to an adoptable pet waiting for a forever home.

Fostered pets can be picked up between December 18-23, and can be returned to the RVSPCA between December 30-January 2.

The RVSPCA will provide all needed supplies and support to the temporary families. You can view all of the pets online at www.rvspca.org, or visit the shelter to meet them.  The goal is to have each of these pets into a home by noon on December 23.

Ann Marie Sweeney, foster coordinator for the RVSPCA, will answer questions about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need.  Contact Sweeney at 344-4840, ext. 208 or e-mail asweeney@rvspca.org.
