Murray - 3/3/08:

With good looks such as these, one would think that Murray would have the confidence to match. Unfortunately that is not the case. Rather then strutting his stuff and commanding the attention of the other cats, as well as visitors to Little Shelter, Murray can sometimes be found hiding in a corner. He seems to be a little bit afraid of other animals and tries to make himself invisible. Unfortunately that’s a difficult task, as Little Shelter is home to more then 350 cats, and every where visitors turn, a furry feline is rubbing against them, eager for attention. We know that Murray would love to do the same, if only he can conquer his fear. Until that day comes, it will be difficult for potential adopters to notice our handsome guy, and therefore hard to find him a home.

Little Shelter will keep Murray with us for as long as it takes to build his confidence and find a loving home. We can sure use your help and Murray will benefit from your love. Please let Murray know that he doesn’t have to be afraid, and donate now to become his sponsor.

Mabel - 3/3/08:

Weighing in at little more than 3lbs, Mabel is experiencing some challenges. Found abandoned inside a box, this 12 year old cutie was a sight to see. Her fur was in quite a mess. Within minutes of arriving at Little Shelter, Mabel was scooped up and taken to our Medical Dept. where we gave her a bath and shaved off her long, matted hair in the hopes of making her more comfortable. A medical examination by our Veterinarian found that this little girl was riddled with arthritis, making her body painful to the touch. In addition, Mabel has dental issues that will require attention, and she is currently recovering from an Upper Respiratory Infection. Despite her slight discomfort, Mabel has bonded with many our staff members and she loves to be held and give little puppy kisses. We will ensure that Mabel receives the best medical attention available as we look towards finding her forever home, but we sure could use your help. Please help Mabel heal, and donate now to become her sponsor. She may be little in stature, but she is BIG in courage.

Finnegan - 11/30/07:

It has been three years since Finnegan’s human mom passed away, leaving her and nineteen feline siblings alone in their Brooklyn home. Luckily for this furry family, Little Shelter was able to step in, and bring them all to safety. Many of Finnegan’s younger brothers and sisters have been fortunate enough to find loving homes, however Finnegan is still anxiously awaiting her lucky day. A little on the scrawny side, and senior in years, Finnegan is quick to make herself known to visitors in our cattery. Always eager to rub her head against a friendly hand, Finnegan is definitely not the shy type.

We don’t know why a wonderful family has not adopted this black and white beauty. Perhaps it’s due to her age, but we like to believe that age is just a number, and Finnegan has many quality years ahead of her yet. We hope that one day someone will take a chance on this girl, but if that day should never come, we are happy to provide Finnegan with all that she needs. Let Finnegan know that you are thinking of her and donate now to become her sponsor. She’ll be thrilled to know you care.

Scooter - 11/30/07:

When you look at his face you see a handsome little guy with scruffy fur, but as your eyes travel down to his wagging tail, you notice that something is not quite right. With the exception of a few sparse hairs, Scooter is almost completely bald from midway down his back to the tip of his tail. Abandoned in a local town shelter, Scooter’s skin condition left him with little chance of being adopted, but one look into his soulful brown eyes and our Little Shelter staff knew that they couldn’t leave him behind. Whisked off to the safety of Little Shelter, Scooter is undergoing blood tests to determine the exact cause of his hair loss. There are several possibilities, all which may require lifelong medication. Whatever the outcome, we will be happy to provide Scooter with all that he needs to continue to lead a long and happy life. Medical care can be costly. Please help us provide for Scooter and donate now to become his sponsor. We would sure appreciate your help and we know Scooter will too. In fact, he’ll wag his bald tail a few more times just to say thank you!!!

Granny - 10/22/07:

Imagine this – you’ve been a dutiful, loving companion your entire life. You’ve always been available for a loving kiss, good company, and unconditional love. Old age creeps up on you and you begin to suffer some of the ailments that go hand-in-hand with being a senior citizen. You lose your hearing, followed by your sight, and suddenly the world that you have always known has become a scary, unfamiliar place. You don’t know how you got there – perhaps you wandered off. Strange hands pick you up and put you in a cold steel cage. You feel the tension in the air. You know there are other dogs in this place as lonely and scared as you are, waiting for that familiar touch and smell of the person you love to come and take you home.The staff at that shelter thinks you should be euthanized, simply because you are too old. Your years of giving don’t seem to account for much…… Unfortunately this is the situation Granny found herself in BEFORE coming to Little Shelter. A Good Samaritan heard of her plight and knew that this little old lady deserved a much better ending. She contacted Little Shelter, and we of course agreed. The stress of shelter life was taking its toll on Granny. A medical checkup revealed that she had a severe heart murmur. We called on the help of one of our volunteers, and Granny is now living in a foster care home until a permanent home can be found. She will also need ongoing medical treatment for her heart murmur, which could prove to be quite costly. Whatever it takes, we will ensure that Granny will spend the remainder of her life in comfort, however long that may be. Please donate now to become Granny’s sponsor, and let her know that she is not alone.

Keisha - 8/28/07:

When you are a shy girl like Keisha, it is hard to stand out amongst the more than 300 cats currently Little Shelter home. While some cats immediately jump up and start parading around for attention, Keisha lies quietly in her bed, trying to work up the courage to do the same. Unfortunately it is all a little overwhelming for this little girl and her shyness leaves her constantly overlooked by potential adopters. We hope that one day Keisha will display that brave lioness we know lies beneath her meek exterior. Until that day we are happy to let her live peacefully at Little Shelter. Please help us provide for Keisha and donate now to become her sponsor. We know that your support will help to build her confidence.

Guiness - 8/28/07:

When Guinness’s owners turned to us for help, we couldn’t turn them away. They were in a desperate situation and didn’t know what to do. Guinness, their beloved 16 month old Pug had been attacked by the other dog in the household, leaving him with a severe eye injury and puncture wounds to his head. They knew that for his own safety, they would have to find Guinness a new home. Despite the trauma that he has been through, Guinness has maintained his loving personality. He is always eager to give gentle kisses and a tail wag to passers-by. It may be some time before Guinness will be available for adoption. We are monitoring his eye injury, hoping that it will heal. Unfortunately if it doesn’t heal, Guinness may have to have surgery to remove his eye. We will make sure that Guinness receives the best medical care possible, but all this comes at a cost. Please help Guinness recover and donate now to become his sponsor.

Nemesis - 8/03/07:

Nemesis is an oldie but a goodie.  This sweet senior had a loving home for 10 years, but she was brought to us recently due to an illness in the family.  Now, at eleven years of age, she is having trouble adjusting to life in a shelter.  While most cats like to curl up in their bed, Nemesis prefers to sleep underneath hers.  In fact, we had to move it to take this photo of her.  Sadly, because of her age, it may take Nemesis longer to find a new home. Sadder still, she may never have the fortune of being adopted. Whatever happens, we will be happy to provide Nemesis with a warm, secure place to sleep, and a full belly. You can help us provide for Nemesis by donating now to become her sponsor. We know that this little lady would really appreciate your help.

Kennedy - 8/03/07:

Kennedy is a sweet 10 month old, female, terrier mix that has been patiently waiting at Little Shelter for her forever home. One would think that with youth on her side, Kennedy would be snapped up by an eager family, but that has not been the case. Unfortunately, as a puppy, Kennedy did not receive any structure or discipline, and learned some bad habits. We are working with Kennedy and her manners are improving every day! We are happy to continue giving Kennedy the guidance that she needs, but we could sure use your help. Please donate now to become her sponsor and help us turn this lovable girl into a refined young lady.
