Flu blues and a kitty at the table

Hello my patient readers. I am afraid I am home with the flu. So there will be little more than photos on this blog for the rest of the week.

Don't forget that the Roanoke Valley SPCA's Howl-O-Ween Walk for the Animals is this Sunday. Click here to visit the Web site for all the details.

Blog reader Kim sent in this photo of her kitty, Gracie, who decided to see what was for dessert after Kim got up from the dinner table.

  1. My kitties usually sit at the dinner table with me when I eat. They fill the remaining chairs and there is usually 1 on my lap. Its always nice to have the table full at meal time.

  3. Hope you feel better soon! Cuddle up with a warm kitty and get some doggie love and you'll be back on track in no time.

    As for Gracie, she never did get any dessert :(!!

  4. Does Gracie really have that white spot on her nose or did she already get into the dishes?
    I wouldn't know because she usually hides when I am there ;-)

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.
