Pet Corner<br />
Meet Snowbelle!<br />
Snowbelle was<br />
abandoned at a feral<br />
feeding station behind<br />
a school. One of Snowbelles pictures<br />
shows how she appears to be waiting<br />
on top of the feral shelter for her<br />
person to come back and bring her<br />
back to her cozy home and indoor<br />
meals. After a short time at the feral<br />
area, she was rescued and brought<br />
to a vet where she was spayed, vaccinated<br />
and tested for FIV and feline<br />
leukemia. She is negative for those 2<br />
conditions and the vet's assessment<br />
was that she is between 3 and 4 years<br />
old, an indoor kitty and in overall<br />
good health. Note her large double<br />
front paws. She is quite pretty.<br />
Snowbelle is in foster at this time<br />
and is available for adoption and eagerly<br />
awaiting a cozy, FOREVER<br />
home. The foster says she is a lovesweet<br />
and affectionate.<br />
Meet Pretty Pretty<br />
Pretty pretty is<br />
back in Baystate<br />
foster. She has had<br />
quite the adventure<br />
over her young life. The first home<br />
that adopted Pretty decided to have<br />
this lovely, healthy cat euthanized<br />
because of issues with another cat<br />
in the home. The vet would not do<br />
that and got in touch with us for rehoming.<br />
The second adoption was<br />
to a family and Pretty pretty was<br />
given away to a friend after only a<br />
short stay. Most recently she was<br />
relinquished to an open admission<br />
shelter that determined she was a<br />
Baystate cat and that shelter contacted<br />
us. Now Pretty pretty, is in a<br />
Baystate foster home and the foster<br />
mom has not seen a single reason<br />
why this pretty girl has been shuttled<br />
from place to place.<br />
Foster mom says this cat enjoys<br />
her active family household. Pretty<br />
pretty loves to be in the room where<br />
people are-"she loves to sit and hang<br />
with us". Sometimes Pretty just likes<br />
to sit in a room and watch the activity<br />
around her or enjoy a sunny spot.<br />
There have been no negative interactions<br />
with the family pets (cats and<br />
dogs). The foster thinks the best situation<br />
would be an active family with<br />
older children. Please consider this<br />
lovely girl for your family and finally<br />
her FOREVER home.<br />
Meet Finbar!<br />
Finbar is a neutered<br />
male, 4 to 6<br />
years old. He's a bit<br />
shy and prefers to be<br />
an "only" cat. Finbar would do best<br />
in a home with an experienced cat<br />
owner. He is feisty, the kind of cat<br />
who will purr in ecstasy for 3 pats<br />
but then let you know he's all done<br />
with patting. . He uses a litter box<br />
and scratching post faithfully. Kind<br />
of a sedentary guy, he loves sleeping<br />
beside someone and watching cats<br />
on You Tube clips. He hasn't had<br />
any exposure to young children, and<br />
he tends to hide whenever there's any<br />
type of commotion. He is currently<br />
in foster but needs a forever home of<br />
his own!<br />

Volunteer Adoption Counselors<br />
Needed!<br />
This important volunteer base if<br />
so important to move our cats into<br />
new homes…..and, it can be done<br />
from ANYWHERE. Everything<br />
needed is done on the computer<br />
and phone. It requires making<br />
phone calls, following up, and can<br />
be busy one week and no action the<br />
next. We try to work in pairs to help<br />
each other as everyone has varying<br />
schedules. There will be on-sight<br />
opportunities in Boston when that<br />
transpires. Please reach out. We will<br />
train. We need you! Our cats need<br />
you!<br />

Dear Tabby,<br />
I love running<br />
in the dirty<br />
mucky waters<br />
of our local trails but mom<br />
hates when the ticks take a ride<br />
home on me. What can I do to<br />
assure mom it’s going to be ok?<br />
Thanks,<br />

Dear Walter,<br />
I’m glad you are able to<br />
enjoy the local trails and fields<br />
and even, mucky waters but I<br />
always suggest limiting your<br />
ingestion if these waters. Outdoor<br />
water sources are loaded<br />
with bacteria and parasites<br />
and can do a number on your<br />
GI tract. Additionally, be sure<br />
your humans keep you up to<br />
date on your vaccines to keep<br />
you safe from diseases you can<br />
get from puddles and shallow<br />
waters frequented by wildlife.<br />
Just an FYI.<br />
As for ticks, make sure<br />
you are current with a veterinarian<br />
grade flea and tick<br />
product. Though all products<br />
work differently, please know<br />
that tick-Bourne diseases, like<br />
Lyme disease, are transmitted<br />
when ticks attached for 36 to<br />
48 hours or more before the<br />
Lyme disease bacterium can<br />
be transmitted. So the presence<br />
of ticks on your pet does<br />
not always mean the diseases<br />
have been transmitted.<br />
Take Care,<br />
Tabby-CVT
