JVR - the "Greeter" Are you looking for the perfect furry friend to cuddle up with you after a long day? Then it's time for you to meet JVR at the Upper Credit Humane Society! JVR is a handsome grey 6-year- old domestic shorthair cat, and is an ideal feline companion. Dubbed the "Walmart Greeter" by the shelter staff, he is the first at the door to say hello when someone arrives, and will wind around your ankles and follow you around to let you know how happy he is to see you. But JVR isn't just about the greeting - he's a confirmed lap cat too. If you are settled on the couch, he will jump up for some cuddles, and all the affection he can get! JVR came to the Upper Credit Humane Society from another shelter due to overcrowding, and is eagerly awaiting his forever family. He is very sweet and gentle and does well with other cats, but he would do best in a home with at most one or two other feline friends. JVR gets stressed occasionally in a space with a lot of other cats, and then needs some alone time to bring his anxiety level down. If you have been searching for that perfect snuggle buddy, your search is over! Come meet JVR at the Upper Credit Humane Society. Members of the community are invited to visit UCHS from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily, including weekends. During these hours, visitors to the shelter can meet animals available for adoption, drop off donations, fill out adoption applications, speak with staff, etc. In the month of September, UCHS found homes for 37 cats, 6 dogs, 5 rats and 1 bird, bringing our total for the year so far to 412 adoptions. Our thanks to all the volunteers and donors, and the kind hearts of those who come to adopt. JVR Sable Left behind when their owners moved away, Sable and Summer were not only homeless but also pregnant. Shortly after giving birth the two young moms were discovered in a neighbour's shed and surrendered to NHKR. In foster care it was evident the moms had a special relationship, they were inseparable and affectionate with each other as they shared the responsibilities of raising their kittens. Sable and Summer will be adopted together so they may continue as best friends in their new home. Sable is estimated to be around three years old, slightly older than Summer and possibly her mother. She is confident and affectionate with strangers, enjoying attention from everyone. She is also the ultimate lap cat, snuggling as long as possible. Although Sable is concerned having her nails trimmed she accepts it because she is a gentle girl. Sable had an undeveloped eye which was removed, giving her a permanent wink. There are no health issues associated with this surgery. Summer is a sweet gentle girl who is learning to become confident with people. She purrs happily with people she knows but sudden movements and loud noises startle her. She allows her nails to be trimmed and accepts being picked up for brief snuggles, tremendous progress from when she arrived as a very scared cat. Sable, Summer and PJ will be available for adoption this Sat. at Pet Valu, 375 Mountainview Rd S. from 2-4. The $160. cash adoption fee includes: vaccinations, parasite treatments, spaying, microchip and a bag of food.
