Creature Corner: October 26, 2017

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats said goodbye to Cheerio and two puppies, then hello to Sassy.

Anabel

Little Girl:  Well, that was a quiet weekend!

Sassy: Maybe for you, but I got to take another walk in town on Sunday.  It was so much fun!

Anabel: I heard that you are quite the friendly dog. You’re very happy. from what I see.

Sassy

Sassy: I am very, very happy. I just love to get into a loving human’s lap, too. I will be such a wonderful member of a forever family. I hope I’m adopted soon.

Batman: Me, too! You guys are great, but being here in the cattery just isn’t the same as being with a forever family.

Zorro

Zorro: You know Batman, you and I are just kittens. I cannot believe someone hasn’t snapped us up already.

Trenton: The same with Augusta and me. What the heck? We’re awfully adorable little kittens! And I hear if two kittens are adopted together, we are at a discounted adoption fee. Win-win!

Sassy: You really are adorable.

Indigo: OK, so kittens are adorable, but we adult cats are confident and loving. That’s pretty darned good, too.

George

George: Take me, for instance.  I’m low energy and very relaxed.  And Little Girl, you would be the perfect companion for a single person or a quiet couple.

Little Girl:  As long as there is someone to give me lots of attention (and no dogs or other cats), I’ll be in heaven.

Sassy: You cats are cool. I hope people get in here this weekend to meet you.

Augusta:  And you, too, Sassy.

Sassy: I’ll be here at the ARF House Saturday and Sunday if I don’t have a volunteer walking me in town. I’ll do my best to impress.

Augusta:  All Trenton and I have to do is be ourselves, and that’s pretty darned impressive, or at least it’s cute.

Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “Days of Our Nine Lives” each week. And please stop in to say hello to the entire adoptable cast at the ARF House, 26890 Hwy. 243 on Saturdays 10-4 and Sundays 10-2, or by appointment M-F by calling 951-659-1122.
