Animals at my new shelter

Hi all. Some of you may be used to me posting cats, and talking about feline behavior. Well, I’m now the shelter manager at a new shelter and I work with dogs too! I haven’t really posted since I got the new job, so I wanted to share some of the cute photos and videos I’ve taken!

This lady is Tamera. We’ve been needing more Kuranda beds and towers for ages, and a volunteer bought this one for us! She loves it and she loves people.

This is Stewie. He arrived yesterday. He was named Stumpie because he had a traumatic amputation to his back right foot. He is putting weight on the stump when he walks, which means he’s likely gonna have recurrent infections and lesions on the stump- so we’re opting to amputate the whole leg at the vet’s recommendation. Tripod cats do great (we have two others right now) so I’m not worried about him long term.

This is Thelma. She also arrived yesterday. She is a sassy girl!

Compilation video of a bunch of cats playing.

This is Bob, one of the tripods I mentioned. He’s pretty shy but he’s playful and that’s helping him come out of his shell.

This is Shreek in his favorite cozy box!

Shreek out of his box. He’s super friendly.

Shreek had an FHO so had to be in a cone for a bit. He was super tolerant of it.

Tigger. She loves sitting in her window and watching people.

Ray Ray, who manages to make puppy dog eyes even though he has no eyes. He’s a very sweet dog.

Blackberry, a shy 8 month old who’s been coming out of her shell for play.

Gatsby and Athena. They’re in our FeLV room. Both sweeties.

Ivy. She’s a model. She’s already been adopted.

This is Boxer. He seemed real sweet but I didn’t get to know him cause he was adopted like two days after he arrived.

Halibut and Topo knocked their bed into their litter box! Topo has been adopted. Halibut had a hernia surgery. He’s getting a recheck today and will hopefully get the cone off and go back to being available for adoption.

Rudy. He loves his Kuranda tower. We don’t have enough for all the cat rooms right now, and getting enough is one of my main goals!

Foosball. He was suuuper hissy/growly the day he arrived, but 24 hours later, he proved to be an affectionate boy. Still a bit handling sensitive.

Face plant!

Ziggy! He is such a good boy.

Betsy! A puppy who’s been adopted.

Perla is a queen.

Rudy doesn’t like being picked up, and because most of our cats are cohoused we have to weigh them regularly- so I used churu to talk Rudy into walking on the scale on his own.

Toby and Wanda! Wanda has been adopted. Toby likes walking without her better, as she was too slow for him.

Sky! I love her little smirk.

Spencer. He lives in the main office and we got this cat tree donated and he claimed it as his own.

Boxer. He was the first intake exam I did at the new shelter. And he’s already been adopted!

Callie. She’s a deaf senior and she just loves being with people.

Aaand raccoon tax. We were trying to trap one of the outdoor cats we feed to get a vet check, and this guy wandered in instead. I took him across the road and he bolted off into the grass and trees. He didn’t show up in the trap again so I think he figured things out!

Thanks for looking, I’ll share more pictures again soon!
