The Happy Wag

In the market for a kitten?

I got this e-mail from an editor here yesterday. A friend of his has taken in this 6-month-old kitten and would like to find the little guy a home.

The temporary foster parent wrote that the kitten "needs to see the vet and to be neutered. Very cute as you can see, has somewhat long hair and a nice long bushy tail. I have 2 cats and a dog, can't add another."

This guy looks a lot like my cat Thai, except with long hair.  Clearly he's computer savvy, or at least he can hunt for a mouse (Very bad pun, I know. Sometimes I can't help myself.)

If I could take in another feline, he'd be living large at Chez Nelson tonight.

If you know someone who is looking for a kitty, please post a comment and let me know. I can get you in touch with the foster mom.

  1. I've got 3 kittens myself that need homes too. We had a female cat we got from some friends, and before we could get her fixed, she slipped outside one day and 2 months later we had 4 more! We're keeping one (to get a 3-3 balance of M-F), but we already had 5 before. Cute kitty though, looks like a B/W version of a Snowshoe I used to have.

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.
