March is right around the corner!

The month of February is almost over! Catsnap will be leaving Petsmart at the end of the month. We still have a great bunch of kitties there looking for homes-
Bessie - She's super sweet and would do well as an only cat.
Bear and Fiona - They just arrived this week. They are about 5 months old and we would like to adopt them out together as they are FIV+.
Moose and Jermaine - Our extra large (in heart and size) boys. They can be adopted together or separately. They are both healthy, social boys but are FIV+.
CJ and Lenny - These are wonderful boys. They are a little scared at first, but are great cats once they warm up to you.
Ian and Mouse - Wonderful Ian has been adopted and will be going to his forever home on Saturday. He is with Mouse (just arrived last night) who is about 4 months old and solid grey. She would fit in perfectly to any home.

Pictures from Bergner's

A big 'thank you!' to everyone who helped sell Community Day packets at Bergner's this last Saturday.  Everyone had a good time, including the cats who all showed well.  We were able to talk to lots of people about our program, and meet several people who have recently adopted cats from us. 
We had the pink stroller at the event, and I wheeled Miss Megan Marie around the store.  She is a beauty.  Unfortunately, all of my stroller pictures came out blurry, but I did get a few others that came out well:

We had the fabulous Hello Kitty who is always a hit, posing with Megan Marie.  
Beautiful Jermaine loved all the attention he received.  
Of course, we had Ian.  How is he still a Catsnap cat???  He's handsome, healthy, super friendly and and all around wonderful cat.  I may be a bit partial, but I think he's just about perfect.

Moose is at Petsmart

Meet Moose.  This cat is HUGE!  His heart and personality are the only things that are bigger than he is.  He loves to be around people, and head butts are his specialty.  
He was picked up from a trailer park where he lived a rough life.  He still has several cuts from his time outside, but they are healing nicely.  
Unfortunately, Moose contracted FIV from his time outside.  He would do best as an only cat or with another cat with his condition (luckily, Catsnap has a few FIV+ cats that would love to live with friendly Moose).  Moose craves companionship, be it people or other cats.


He wanted to show everyone his nice, healthy choppers and long whiskers.  How could anyone resist?
Moose is at Petsmart right now until the end of the month.  This is a guy you must meet!

Marketplace Mall this Weekend!

Catsnap will be making an appearance at Bergner's on Saturday from 10am - noon.  We'll be at the mall entrance selling Community Day packets and showing a few cats.  For cats, we'll have Ian, Megan Marie and another adoptable cat or two.  Hello Kitty will also be there!

The Bergner's Community Day Event is a great fundraiser for us.  We'll be selling packets (which can be redeemed Saturday, February 28) for $5.00.  Catsnap will get to keep the $5.00 and the purchaser receives a $10 coupon and (4) 20% off coupons good throughout the store.  There's some more information and a preview of the coupon booklet here.

If you are interested in purchasing coupons but won't be at the mall on Saturday, I'll also have coupons with me at Petsmart this Friday from 5:30-7, or send me an email and I'll get them to you.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Petsmart Adopt-A-Thon!  We adopted out several cats this weekend including Gina, Lilly, Luna, Catherine and Sweetie Pie!  We have two new cats up at Petsmart: Cookie and Stewart.  I'll post pictures as soon as I remember to bring my camera up there.

Adopt-A-Thon at Petsmart this Weekend



Catsnap will be at Petsmart on Saturday [*update* we'll also be there Sunday 11-5] from 11-5 for an Adopt-A-Thon! There will be several other animal rescue organizations showing their available dogs and cats, so it should be a great event!


We'll have several cats and kittens who are looking for their forever home, including the beautiful Megan Marie.


Hope to see you there!

Megan Marie


Wanted to introduce you to Megan Marie, my latest foster. If you are looking for an independent gal who is content to just sit by your side, overseeing things while you are working on the computer..then she's your gal.



Megan is classified as a Torbie. Torbie is short for tortoiseshell-tabby. When you add tabby stripes a tortie becomes a torbie. They are also called patched tabbies since they are a tabby with patches of red or cream. Megan Marie has a dot of orange on the top of her head, which I think is kind of cute.


She would be a wonderful cat for a couple that has no other cats or dogs that wants a low-maintenance friend for life. She's not one to be your shadow nor cover your lap with fur...she's just well...Megan Marie.

Say 'hello' to Lenny

Meet adorable little Lenny.  He is currently with CJ at Petsmart.  Lenny has a very similar personality to CJ.  He was trapped outside, and is still very shy.  He is very gentle and would love to live in a nice, quiet house with another cat or two.  Lenny would do best with experienced cat parents who have the time and patience to work on his socialization.  
He loves to be petted and purrs non-stop when he feels safe.  If you looking to add a new cat into your home, consider this wonderful boy!

Lovey .... Therapy Cat? Another Happy Ending.


I wanted to share part of an e-mail regarding a former foster cat of mine (previously known as Sidney). His "dad" had to recently let his cat of 12 years go because of cancer. His heart is heavy with grief but because of Lovey...he is able to get through the day. Here's a portion of the e-mail:

"Lovey has been sleeping with Dad every night, which he never did before. He has always slept with me. Lovey kisses his hands & face & cuddles next to Dad’s chest with Dad’s arm around him all night!!! It’s like he knows Dad needs him. He has such a huge hole, but Lovey is very instrumental in reducing the grief. I know I said this before, but I am so glad Dad has Lovey to keep him company and divert his attention from dwelling on the loss."

Here's a picture of the two of them (this was taken prior to the loss), but you can see by the smile, how much he loves him.

Former Catsnap Cats

I love looking at the pictures of former Catsnap cats (and the occasional dog). They all come from tough backgrounds, were rescued and have their own very special story.  Best of all, they all have happy endings.  Here's a few from the past year or so-

Little Bailey came from under an apartment building in Campustown.
Spicy Hannah with the sweetest 'meow.'
Goofy Sticks (now Jackson) loves to go for walks.  
Everyone's favorite sneezeball, Leo!
Daisy Mae (now Doodle) and her best friend Cody.  Cody was once Feral.  
Beautiful little Holly (now MJ, I believe).  
And the one of the fairest of them all - Miley.

Lulu is up at Petsmart!

I didn't mention this in the last post, but Lulu will also be up at Petsmart today.  If you are looking for a beautiful, loving cat, look no further.  Lulu is front-declawed and is ready for her forever home.
