Making a Difference for Cats

What happens to 124 cats when 5 vets and over 50 volunteers meet at one facility to make a difference.  This is exactly what happened on March 27, 2011.  There are no words to tell the story, so here goes:



And I have never seen so many cat carriers in my life.

and then at the end of the day, all cats went home and will no longer be responsible for contributing to the overpopulation of cats!!! 

FYI - of the 124 cats, 50 of them were female.  One female cat can have 2 litters a year, each with an average of 4 kittens.  The first litter can actually have it's first litter that same year - after 6 months.  You do the math and you will say YIKES!!!

One Puppy Left and She's the Best!

My name is Marcia and that's right I'm the last puppy of my litter.  Also correct, is the fact that I'm a really sweet dog that does not nip.  That's pretty good for only being a puppy.  Well enough about me and more about my afternoon at the Littlefields.

In the car I sat up just like a big dog even though I couldn't see out the window.  I think I like car rides, since I didn't whine one bit.

At the Littlefield home, I got to play with their dog Lola.  I was nervous at first, but once I saw how much fun she was I jumped right in. 






It was nice to have somebody to play with, but it was also nice being held by the humans - this made Lola a bit sad:(

Well it was a short visit, since there is tons going on at Bangor Humane Society and their Spay Neuter Clinic.  So guess where you can find me???  In the Puppy Room at the Bangor Humane Society and don't forget to ask for a puppy named Marcia.  If you're looking for a couple of old hotdogs, don't forget to check out Bobby and Billy - they are directly across the hall from me.

Bobby and his Brother Billy are Looking for a Retirement Home

That's right my brother Billy and I are in need of a nice quiet home to retire in.  You see I'm blind and my brother is half blind, so we kind of depend on one another.  That is why we need to find somebody that is looking for a package deal.  Well enough about that - I need to tell you about my day spent outside of the shelter.

First off car rides are something I need to get used to.  I did a bit of whining.  But when the window was open, I seemed to really enjoy the fresh air.

In the Littlefield home I really enjoyed all the smells of other dogs.  I am pretty much blind, so I had to be careful of bumping into things.  It didn't take me long to figure out where to go.  By the way I love cuddling - it's the best.  If you like holding a dog like a baby, that would be me.

When their dog Lola came home from her outing, it seemed like we would get along just fine.  She was a little playful, but is used to being gentle since she has spent a ton of time around puppies.  Then I had to give a big dog bark (where did that come from).  After that playtime was over.

The Mrs was quite surprised at how much I loved the outdoors.  I said I was blind, but my sniffer still works and wow were the smells in the yard just great!!!

You may be asking yourself if I'm a package deal why my brother was left behind.  You see he had to get himself fixed (even though he wasn't broken).  He is now part of the responsible group of dogs that will not be adding to the overpopulation of the dog world.

Well I'm back at the shelter with Billy (that's my brother), just waiting for the special retirement home.  If you are looking for a couple of old hotdogs, don't forget to check us out at the Bangor Humane Society.

MIA is not Missing In Action

If you've been to the Bangor Humane Society lately looking for Mia, she is not Missing In Action.  The good news is that she has been adopted.  Great news for Mia and her new family!!!

Mia meets Lola

Just a little bit about myself - I am a BUSY (note - all capitals) Jack Russell Terrier!!!  That being said, you probably want to know how my afternoon went at the Littlefields.

First off I met their new dog named Lola.  We got along great.  It was like having a giant stuffed toy to play with.  I found great pleasure in tugging on her, sniffing her backside and nipping at her face. 

That's when the Littlefields decided that they would bring out some real toys.  I loved retrieving these and then Lola and I got to playing tug.  What a great game and to be able to play it with another dog.  What a BLAST (note - all capitals) this was!!!

Once that game was over, the man of the house wanted me to sit with

him.  I did for a bit, but remember I am BUSY!!!  I can run faster then they can, so that's when we played the game Catch Me If You Can.  That was also tons of fun.  It looks like the Littlefields know all sorts of fun games; which makes it very difficult for a dog to settle down. 

On the ride back to the Bangor Humane Society, I sat in the lap of the Mrs (she was the passenger) and settled right down.  FYI - I think if they hadn't had Lola to get me all wound-up, I would have settled down sooner.  Well I'm back at the shelter just waiting for a forever home.
