The shelter is called Furkids and here is the link. http://furkids.org/
We actually had over 1,000 cats adopted last year. Sadly we took in more than that so we are always a bit full. The shelter is cage free with large rooms separating the cats in to manageable groups. I have volunteered at a lot of shelters in my time but when this one says no-kill they mean it. One of the cats has been there about 6 years (she is a gorgeous Persian but mean as a snake.) They also have a separate facility for FIV+ cats which are difficult to home. I started out huffy because we actually have had a problem with *other* shelters dropping off FIV+ cats in the dead of night. They know we will take them and then they can still claim to be no-kill. It isn't cheap to house an FIV+ cat so other shelters are keen to move them elsewhere.

Ok, off my soapbox and sooooorry Wolfy for the itty bitty derail but Macele started it! (<---blatant attempt to shift blame and also not huffy at all but I have always wanted to use this little emoticon and this is the closest chance I have gotten)


Katniss~~(oh, and should you decide to crush and adopt 3 or more of the kitties/doggies we shelter I will drive them to you personally and throw in some cat/dog treats to boot!)

do that again! the huffy you-ruffled-my-feathers voice. ruff! now see, wishing i could hear that voice and all the emoticons, ... have me hot and bothered lol.

so if you bring me a few animals, ... do we get to ride in the car like that? lol

thank you for explaining (kiss).

They also have the added benefit of never telling your secrets, being content to wear the same old collar day after day and happy with eating just the pizza crust when you are done with your share. All are willing to give nose kisses but one cat in particular likes to lick bare feet.

This articulates well why I've my heart set on a lapdog. All I first need is to find a lady to act as my life-long partner & dog-sitter and then I'll be in touch to see if any of the 32 small dogs would like a home here in London.

I've come across that dog before and it would be a challenge to any potential owner as the dog has a split personality.

If you call the dog Wolfie, he is loving, affectionate, kind and loyal. An ideal dog, in fact. But if you call the dog Kieran, he barks loudly until bought a new sparkly collar, prefers to drink beer instead of water and is prone to sending the owner to the kennel so that he can have all of the bed for an undisturbed night's sleep whilst the owner is outside.

Hola Crushers!

Can't seem to get to sleep tonight! Hope everyone is doing well and crushing to their heart's content

My playlist is getting me in the crushing mood. Funny how music can do that!

[Katniss]

Dixie-- Sadly the shelter will no longer allow me to name the animals after I (innocently) named a 3 legged labrador "Eileen." In my defense an "all 80's" rock station was on the radio and that song was on when she was brought to the shelter. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) The identical twin kitties I named "Polly" and "Esther" are another matter entirely.

macele-- If "huffy" gets you hot and bothered then allow me to PM you my mother's cell phone number. She can take "huffy" to a whole new level and follow it with and just when you thought she was done she will until you want to If this works for you let me know. Bitter old hypocritical women need love too (probably more than the rest of us.)

Ciaran-- You are correct w/r/t "Wolfie" at the shelter. He is kind, loving and loyal....a dream crush if there ever was one. Look at his little face...





As to the dream pet of your own...I have just the one in mind...



Maybe I can break him of his expensive clothes horse habit before your impending nuptials.

But remember what they say....over time you and your crush may start to look a bit alike...choose wisely.

That final comment is very telling - there's already a strong resemblance between this dog and me. More so, we clearly share the same fashion sense .... in fact, I think I might have that same leotard, although I think mine might be a slightly darker shade of purple.

Also, the pose and posture is similar to one of mine in my leopard skin g-skin.

If there has ever been a dog equivalent to me, it IS this dog here.

Well said! I completely agree...here is to hoping you find your muse!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

I may just need a butch for kisses! Lots and lots of kisses! Oh and snuggling! Someone to help me get to sleep at night. What can I say, it is a completely selfish reason and I am totally ok with that! Lol

Agreed! I have none left on this site either. I do not look for inspiration, but I enjoy window shopping just the same.
