Creature Corner: Feb. 13, 2014

Heidi
Heidi

Her heart is full of love for that special someone. She loves to be groomed and held, as she purrs her delight. Easy going, loves cat naps and the sun, is Heidi, an 8-year-old female tortoiseshell. Unfortunately, she lost her owner in a tragedy. As if that wasn’t enough, she also is a special-needs cat. Heidi is a carrier of the corona virus, which means she would have to be completely isolated from all felines, or live in a home where she is the only cat. That is a simple request, as that is her only special need. Please contact ARF, 951-659-1122, if you or someone you know can allow Heidi to live the rest of her life safely in a home. Someone has to have a heart as big as Heidi’s this Valentine’s Day.

Furrball Bill
Furrball Bill

Furball Bill is wondering if your heart would pitter-patter its way to ARF to love him forever. He is about 2 years old, fully grown, with beautiful markings, not a meower, and still up for a round of cat-and-mouse play. He is friendly with the feline crowd, inquisitive of the canines, but not afraid. His best buddy is Boomer, an orange tabby, who had a February birthday and is now 1 year old.

Momma Pepper loves, loves, loves the water. She will sing for her supper in a pleasant, musical way. She is tolerant of other felines, and actually likes the canine crowd. She is about 3 years old, and may have a bit of Bengal mixed in her. Her fav is curling up in her bed with a pet or two through the day.

The canine crowd at ARF includes Chelsea, Mrs. Beasley, Sasha and Girl. We have several pets on our website in assisted adoption, also. Be sure to look us up on Facebook, too.

ARF has many cats and dogs available for adoption or fostering. Go to www.arfidyllwild.weebly.com and click on Petfinder. All pets are spayed, neutered and current on shots. ARF is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.

Creature corner is sponsored by Charles Buchanan. To sponsor the column, call Lisa Streeter at the Town Crier, 951-659-2145.
