Take Snowflake home

snowflake.jpg

Who says there are no Snowflakes in the summer?

This is Snowflake, a very sweet, people-loving kitty who has found herself looking for a new home at Angels of Assisi. She was turned in because her pet mom had allergies, and judging from this gray tabby's name, an odd sense of humor.

According to the folks at Angels, Snowflake is having a hard time living in a crate at the shelter. She apparently prefers laps and soft furniture. Then again, who doesn't?

If you would like to help Snowflake get out of the shelter, visit her at Angels of Assisi at 415 Campbell Avenue in downtown Roanoke.

And who can stop at just one kitty? Remember, cats are adopt-one-get-one-free for the rest of the 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.
