How can you resist that face?

Raven and his mom and seven(!) siblings arrived at the Whitley County Humane Shelter in a Tupperware storage container (the kind most of us store winter clothes in). They were born in May 2009, and are all very pretty and very well-socialized kittens. They’re playful and affectionate, and very relaxed around people.

Raven is a friendly and playful black kitty who will make a wonderful pet. Please come in and meet him and his siblings, and consider taking one or more of them home with you.

Please come see Raven today at the Whitley County Humane Shelter, 951 S. Line St., Columbia City.

Peaches and her sister, BeeBee, were born (and orphaned) in early June 2009, and were bottle-fed as kittens.

Because of this, they are very affectionate, and comfortable with people. Although they’re older kittens, they are still quite playful and are adorable to watch while romping and playing together. If you’re thinking about adopting more than one cat, these littermates get along great and will give you hours and hours of enjoyment. But even if you only want one of them, they’re young enough to be fine as single cats.

If you have children under 6, and are looking at kittens, kittens over the age of 6 months are better with young children, since they are not as fragile. Peaches and BeeBee would be perfect.

Peaches is an orange tabby who has a buff-colored face. BeeBee is a shorthaired orange tabby who has white on her face. Both kittens are affectionate and playful.

To meet Peaches and BeeBee, please call the Whitley County Humane Shelterat 260.244.6664, or e-mail the shelter at dirhswc@yahoo.com.

Magpie is a beautiful long-haired male, black and white Holstein cat who was found surviving on the streets by one of our wonderful volunteers who was on her way to a job interview! She chose to bring him to the shelter and then go for the interview later and we are so glad she did.

This affectionate boy will be a wonderful pet – he is both loving and playful and also a great lap cat. As near as we can tell, Magpie was born sometime in spring 2009.

Please come in to the Whitley County Humane Shelter at Whitley County Humane Shelter, 951 S. Line St., Columbia City, and meet this sweet cat and consider giving him a good home.

Shelter hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 2-7 and Saturday, 1-5. Those interested also may call 260-244-6664 or go to the WCHS Web site at www.hswc.org.

Pet of the Week

Brought to you by Fort Financial Credit Union

Doc is an older Chihuahua-mix who is estimated at around 10 years of age.

Doc was brought to the shelter months ago, when his previous owner was placed in a nursing home. Doc is currently living in a foster home, and is known to be dog-friendly, housebroken, and a quiet dog. Though Doc appears to like children, we recommend that he be placed in an all adult household because of his age and size. Doc’s foster mom says, “He is a quiet Chihuahua, although he is a good watchdog. Doc is a great companion, he likes attention all of the time and wants to be with you – even following you from room to room.”

Doc does take medication for his heart, which costs around $5 per month.

Please call the shelter if you would like to arrange a time to meet him at 260.244.6664, or e-mail dirhswc@yahoo.com.

This dog qualifies for the “Seniors for Seniors” special! If you are 60 or older, you may adopt this pet for ½ price! Please call the shelter for more details.

Joey needs a kind and gentle touch

Joey is a gray and white 7-year-old gelding. He was rescued from severe abuse and neglect at the hands of his previous owner. He needs a female owner with a lot of patience and love.
