Beautiful Mai

Meet beautiful Miss Mai. She is part siamese but thinks she is 100% a Siamese Princess. She has very beautiful medium long fur that is an exotic mix of white and brown. This little lady is going to be a dominate female but gets along well with other cats. Currently she is a wonderful mix of kitten; she likes get rowdy and play with other cats, yet is sure to tell you when she is ready for some love and petting like only a Siamese can. Come out to petsmart in August to visit the cute little Miss Mai, she will steal your heart with her cute little Siamese Princess Prance.

Dusty the injured kitty

Poor Dusty... he was found severely injured last night and underwent emergency surgery to repair severe trauma from perhaps a fall. He was found outside a business, unable to move. He is in serious condition. Thanks to Dr. McElroy and Dr. Dust at VCA Heritage Animal Hospital, Dusty may just get a second chance.

Modern Cat

I received some more beautiful pictures from Roscoe's mom over the weekend.   I imagine in the first picture that he's posing on a couch for a modern home design magazine.  

He's settled in with his two cat siblings and is an enjoying life.  While I miss him, I'm so happy that he got a great home.  

Roscoe and Becki

If you've had a chance to check out our Petfinder listings lately, we have LOTS of kittens.  We'll have several at Petsmart when we return in August, but if you are currently looking for a kitten, you can always meet and adopt them out of foster care.  

Meet Roscoe (buff) and Becki (orange).  They are around 8-10 weeks old. Roscoe is the quieter of the bunch and likes belly rubs, having his fur brushed and purrs as soon as he's picked up.  Becki on the other hand is a spitfire - all 1.5 lbs of her!  She is curious, energetic and ready to take on the world.  

You can meet these two next Sunday along with GiGi at Petsmart between 1 - 3pm.  

This Weekend

Just a reminder: Stop by and visit us at the Urbana Farmer's Market this Saturday.  We'll have a table from 8am - noon and possibly Annie and Josie.  

One of our fantastic long-time volunteers made us these amazing cat bookmarks to sell and raise money for our program.  She made an entire bag full and we'll have them for sale at the Market (that is, if our volunteers don't all buy them first!)

As a side note, I took this adorable picture of Bear and Fiona keeping each other company.  They are such good friends and all-around great cats.   They've been waiting very patiently for the perfect family to adopt them.  They've been in the program since January.  That's a long time to wait for a home.  That's ok, they know it'll be worth the wait. 

Special Intake: Josie and Annie

Meet Josie and Annie.  We received a call this week from a high-kill shelter outside of Champaign that has lots of dogs on the euthanasia list.  Several animal rescues from Chicago and the surrounding areas stepped up to take these special dogs.  We're at capacity now with kittens and special needs cats, but sometimes you just have to make room for one or two more.

These girls are fantastic.  They are loving the attention of being in a home environment and spent the better part of the morning rolling around in the grass.  They appear to be house broken and do well walking on a leash.  

Josie is a the larger (40 lbs) brown mix and Annie is the beagle.  They are both around 1 year old.  

They're having their checkup tomorrow and if they get a clean bill of health, we'll have them at the Farmer's Market on Saturday. 

GIGI!

Meet our summer sweetie, Gigi. This poor little gal was found as a stray exceedingly thin. She now has a round little tummy and loves to eat. She absolutely loves other cats and people. She is about 10 weeks old. She loves to play with toys and sleeps with her mouse. Let's hope she can find a loving home.
