All About PETS ADOPTABLEPETSOFTHEWEEK... Reserved but affectionate Jasmin Are you looking for a sweet and loving addition to your family? Don't overlook Jasmin, the shy but affectionate sweetheart at the Upper Credit Humane Society! Jasmin is a beautiful 6-year-old brown tabby with stunning green eyes that are wary, yet so loving. This lovely girl was surrendered to the Upper Credit Humane Society when her previous owner moved and was unfortunately unable to bring her to the new location. Jasmin can be shy and timid in new surroundings, preferring to tuck herself away in a corner or cat-tree cubby where it's safe, but it doesn't take her long to feel comfortable and seek out some attention. Just give her a bit of time to get comfortable around you - to get used to your presence and smell - then reach your hand out and wait for her to leap forward and rub her head on your fingers! Jasmin is sweet and quiet, and just needs the right home with love, support, and a family in order to blossom; she will do well in a calm home with patience and affection. Jasmin's story is not unique. Sometimes owners are faced with the difficultdecisiontosurrendertheirpets because of changed circumstances in their own lives. At those times, UCHS provides a temporary home and searches to find exactly the right homes for the animals. Members of the community interested in visiting UCHS are invited to stop by from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily, including weekends. We are pleased to report that so far this year, we have found homes for 307 animals: 211 cats, 54 dogs and 42 small animals. Thank you to all who opened their hearts and homes to them. Jasmin This handsome young male spent over a week surviving in the country until he was rescued by NHKR. PJ did not enjoy his time outdoors and is a confirmed house cat, content to view the world from behind windows. It is obvious PJ previously lived indoors as he is comfortable with household noises and always uses his litter box. When PJ arrived in foster care, he was not accustomed to receiving affection from people. He is learning that people can provide more than just food. He now enjoys play time, long strokes and his favourite, neck scratches. The more attention PJ receives the more friendly he becomes. Occasionally at bed time he is ready for more play and affection and doesn't understand it is sleep time. He will paw for attention and if not received he will nibble exposed body parts. Toys tossed on the floor distract him from this activity. PJ does not have polished feline skills and other cats find him odd and are initially unfriendly but PJ is not aggressive and he is eventually accepted. He is respectful of older cats and plays nicely with younger ones. Trimming PJ's nails will require an experienced nail trimmer - he indicated he had never had his nails done and was unfamiliar with people handling his feet. Each time it is done he relaxes more. He will flourish living with experienced cat people that have the time to develop a relationship with him and continue his lap cat lessons. He is a gentle boy willing to learn! PJ will be available for adoption this Sat. at Pet Valu, 375 Mountainview Rd S. from 2-4 pm. The $160. cash adoption fee includes: vaccinations, parasite treatments, spaying, microchip and a bag of food.
