Personal Treasures Pillow Provides Comfort

“Thank you and Hope volunteer Rosemary Sowa so much for the beautiful memorial pillows. My oldest cat is always scared of thunderstorms and hides, usually under beds or away from windows. This weekend during the thunderstorms this is where I found her, curled up in “Gramma’s pillows.” My husband and I can’t thank you enough for these wonderful memory pillows.”

Not-So-Plain Jane

Update January 3: Jane went to live with Ester, her kids and other cat. Ester reports that the cats and kids are fast becoming friends and that they have all fallen in love with Jane.  They are so grateful to Hope for the new addition to their family.

Jane is a healthy 12 year old, 15 pound calico cat. Though her claws are intact, she never scratches furniture or other items in the home. She gets along well with other cats, but she has not had interactions with children or dogs. Jane is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Can you help us find a new home for Jane?

Callie Finds Love Again

Janice asked Michelle to be sure that her calico cat, Callie, was taken care of after her passing. Michelle decided to take Callie home - she is still shy, but eating well and occasionally letting the family love on her. Thanks to Hope's Pet Program, Callie was able to see a vet before joining her new family!

Three Amigos

Are you seeing triple? China, Otis and Squish need a new home!

China, who birthed the other two dogs, is a 9 year old female, who is now spayed. Otis is 7, and Squish is 6.  The dogs, who are healthy, energetic Chihuahua mixes, weigh between 6-12 pounds.  If they can’t be adopted together, individual placement would also be welcome.

Their current owner is overwhelmed in his bereavement and is looking to find loving, new homes for these wonderful pets as soon as possible.

Hope can assist with getting the dogs up to date on vaccinations, neutering, start up supplies and support.
