This month we celebrate shelter cats!

Did you know that June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month? For the past two years, Fur Kids Foundation board members have gone out to the City of Gillette / Campbell County Animal Shelter,  950 W. Warlow Drive, and sponsored two cats who are looking for their purr-fect home—a tradition we continued this year. We’ve helped:
· 2014: Bright Eyes and Garfield
· 2013: Ozzy and Wilson

Below are pictures of two fabulous felines who have seen their fair share of time in the shelter, and we want to change that. If you adopt one of these angels, Fur Kids has already paid half of their adoption fee!

ben

Benny bug, or just Ben, is a neutered (male) 1-year-old DSH Tabby / Bengal mix who has been declawed. While we were there, he was calm and sleepy, but we’ve heard that this intelligent kitty does love to play. And just look at him, with his stripes and spots and light hazel eyes; isn’t he beautiful! 

Have you ever taught a cat to play fetch? If so, come check out Ben, as he may be an excellence candidate.

Cappuccino

Like the drink, this Cappuccino can give you a jolt of happy energy when needed. This 2-year-old neutered (male) Siamese cat was so active while we were visiting him, we had a hard time taking pictures! If you’ve ever owned a Siamese, you know that they will tell you exactly what they think, in a loud, raspy voice, and they expect you to pay attention and act on their advice. But, isn’t that most cats? We can see that this Siamese is intelligent and loves to play. If you look forward to having a playful pet, check out Cappuccino!

We hope you’ll consider giving Ben or Cappuccino (or both!) a cozy place to call their own soon, or at least share this message and help us find them a great home. (There are other cats and dogs available at the Shelter as well; the shelter is open from 1-6 pm Monday-Friday, and Saturday from 11 am-3 pm.) And, if you can't adopt a cat, read this blog for other ideas on how to support Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. 

Is your cat adopted from a shelter or a rescue? If so, tell us about them. We love to hear success stories! Feel free to share them below, or post them on our Facebook page.
