Can't quite fit...Make puddle BIGGER!

Shelter Cat Saturday, March 17, 2012

Since today is St. Patrick's Day, Ollie was looking for something a little bit different...a green cat was obviously out of the question, so he poked around and low and behold, he found himself a Manx/Maine Coon boy living up with the good folks at Merlin's Hope in the Dallas area...Roy Roy.

Ollie is just really proud of himself for locating a special boy for a special day. So for those of you looking for a black beauty of a bit different type, get hold of Melinda at Merlin's Hope and schedule a meet and greet with Rob Roy. And take him home...he wants a forever place to sit his little stumpy self!

SCS Adopted!

Always nice to start a new shelter's portal stuff with an adoption. Last Saturday's SCS, Caro, from Georgetown was adopted! Ollie's first Georgetown cat and he's out of the building!

SCS Adopted!

Ollie's Adopt Me mojo is apparently still working...the two ladies from Carrollton, Janna and Cleopatra, made it out of the shelter! One went to rescue and one was adopted outright.

WOOT!!! Many happy tails to the girls who were the SCS selections for February 25.

Tuesday's Artful Cats, March 13, 2012

Something I've always wished I could do is sew. But hand me a needle and thread and I become all thumbs. And I keep thinking if I JUST had more tools, I'd be OK. **sigh** Probably not, but still, pin cushions are practical even if I CAN'T sew...and there are a whole lot of them.

So today's TAC is black cat pin cushions. Buy a pin cushion. Stick pins in it. Even *I* can do that!

Sunday with Ollie....on Thursday?

I swear, I had NOTHING to do with today's SWO feature showing up with Thursday's date. It was done like it was always done (on Saturday) and scheduled for publication on Sunday at 7:02. But for reasons I canNOT figure it, it published yesterday with a date of Thursday, March 1...so it didn't even manage to get the week right.

Shelter Cat Saturday, March 10, 2012

Ollie was really excited when I told him I'd volunteered to help another shelter with their portal updating and that they had a couple of SCS candidates.

He got up on the desk and he looked and he pondered. He pondered and he looked. And finally he decided on the handsome Caro for today's SCS. Caro has beautiful golden eyes, and he's friendly and sweet. He's been at the shelter since mid-January, and that's just way too long for such a pretty boy.

Caro is ready to go. He'd like to come home with YOU. So really, don't you feel the need for a bit of a road trip? He's right on I35 in Georgetown...not far. Seriously. Go. Get. Caro. Bring. Him. Home.

Handsome Caro

 

 

SWO...same time next week

Once again, real life has bitten. Sunday with Ollie will be back same time next week!

Shelter Cat Saturday, March 3, 2012

So how on earth can Ollie pass up a chance to promote another Ollie as today's Shelter Cat Saturday? Well, he can't. He told me most specifically that TODAY was Ollie's day...I, being well trained, smiled and nodded.

Ollie is another owner surrender (his family moved and he couldn't go with him) who is sweet and playful, though confused as to how he went from a home to a shelter. He's at the Irving shelter, and he is really looking for someone who will give him what he deserves...a real, true FOREVER home.
