River Cities Humane Society For Cats

Please note that our Christmas in July Sidewalk Sale scheduled for Saturday, July 18, has been canceled due to extreme hot weather. We will, however, be selling a wide range of gently used Christmas decorations at an event to be scheduled in the fall. Please watch our website and read our newsletter for details

PAWS’ Super Adoption Day

This annual event was held at Petco in Monroe on Saturday, April 25. River Cities had an information table and brought kitties for adoption. We adopted out Amy, a cute really laid-back kitten, and Bonnie, a beautiful and sweet young adult, to their forever homes. Many thanks to PAWS for inviting us to participate in this event and for their hospitality and to Petco for all their assistance!

River Cities participated in this event on Sunday, May 3, and adopted out Ace, a 22-pound sweetheart! Thanks to Petsmart for inviting us and to all their employees for their interest and help!

THANKS, TOO, TO ALL THE RIVER CITIES VOLUNTEERS WHO WORKED THESE ADOPTION EVENTS!

We have several great events scheduled!! Please see our Upcoming Events page for all the details.

Angie O’Pry Blades of Fiesta Nutrition Center, 2225 Louisville Ave., Monroe (just down from the Piccadilly) for allowing us to hold a fundraiser in front of her store. We sold dog and cat Easter baskets (a big hit; we’ll have them again next year) and River Cities tote bags and t-shirts. Please stop by Fiesta and browse their wonderful selection of organic foods, vitamins, natural remedies, and so much more. Thank you, Angie, for all your support!

River Cities is now selling world-famous Rada Cutlery. Rada has been in business for 60 years and offers a wide selection of fine cutlery—in gift sets or individual pieces. In addition, they have soy wax candles, gourmet food items, and much more. You can come by the Shelter during business hours to take a look at their catalog and place an order. We’ll also be selling Rada Cutlery at our garage sales.

We have several special needs kitties at the Shelter who have been waiting to be adopted for a very long time. These kitties need a patient,loving person and a quiet home with no children and no other pets. As with all our adoptees, they are strictly indoor pets.

Callie—A beautiful, long-haired pale calico (white/black/gold) who was dumped outside our Shelter door. She’s 3 years old and has been with us for nearly a year. She’s affectionate and playful and enjoys attention, but she does not like to be picked up. Look for her picture on the “Cats for Adoption” page.

Blanche and Dorothy - Two sisters about six months old with impaired vision due to untreated conjunctivitus when they were little. They are both very pretty; Blanche is a tabby/calico and Dorothyis a Siamese mix. They are so sweet but timid. One of Blanche’s eyes is cloudy and the other has some scar tissue; Dorothy has only one eye. However, these kitties require no special care. They have no problems getting around once they get used to their environment and can see well enough to chase balls, toys, and bugs and have no difficulty finding their food, water, or litter box. It’s more

difficult for Dorothy and Blanche to adapt to changes in their environment, so these precious cats need a quiet, stable home, strictly indoors, with no other animals or small kids. These two sisters have never been separated and truly love each other. They must be adopted together. Blanche and Dorothy are just waiting for someone with a great big heart to give them a permanent home. Won’t you please be that special someone?

Alvin – An adorable orange tabby Munchkin mix about a year old. He’s extremely sweet but very shy. He’s extra cute with his short little Munchkin legs. He needs a patient, loving person and a quiet home with no children and no other pets. As with all our cats, he is strictly an indoor pet. Do you have room in your home and heart for Alvin?

Great news! Two of our previously-featured special needs kitties, Penelope and Mittens, have been adopted! Many thanks to the wonderful people who adopted each of them.

Won’t you please try and help us find a home for these very special kitties?
