Sprinks August 2011 Newsletter
Greetings!
This month for our newsletter, I wanted to share a personal experience that has recently happened with you all that has touched me very deeply.
My Stray Cat Story
For the past couple of weeks, my fiancé and I had been noticing a stray cat that seemed to take a liking to our back patio. Our two cats, Bosco and Nima didn't seem to mind the cat much and neither did we. Over time my fiancé noticed that the stray cat was very skinny so he tried leaving food out for it a few times. Last Wednesday when I got home from work, my fiancé was trying to get the cat into our cat carrier so we could take it to the vet because he could tell it was very sick. The cat would take a couple of steps and then lie down because he was so exhausted. Getting the cat into the carrier was no problem because it was so weak. We drove the cat to the nearest animal ER and were seen immediately. We were told that because the cat was stray, it would be considered a county animal and would probably be euthanized because of the poor condition it was in. To read the rest of my blog, click here.
Why Pet Adoption is Important
Our new adopted cat, Disco
Many shelters and rescues spay/neuter animals, provide them with up to date shots, and sometimes even microchip the pets. Sometimes pets that are not adopted within a certain amount of time are euthanized. Pets at risk of this include black cats (due to the superstition that they are bad luck), senior pets (people think the pet may become ill or may not live long), and special needs pets (because people assume they are expensive). I chose to adopt my cat disco because he was a sickly black kitten, and now he is nursed back to good health! It is important to remember that just because a pet is a certain color, age, or has a health problem that they still deserve a forever home. Animals of all ages and all sizes are available for adoption; there is a good match for every person. Please spread the word of pet adoption to your friends and family members so that maybe you can save a pet in need! To find an animal shelter near you click here.
