Creature Corner: Aug. 18, 2011
By Mimi & Hooch
All you need is love. And Ringo, our gray tabby, will give a purr and meow to that. He found his forever home and the love of human companionship and care.
Leaves and sticks from the old oak tree were their toys. Home was under the beauty parlor building, amidst the cobwebs and dirt. Whatever “momma” could scrounge from the garbage cans was dinner. Inquisitively, their bright eyes would watch every move of the Animal Rescue Friends volunteers who were trying to help them. As each day passed, they became less fearful of the ARF humans, until finally they came out of the crawlspace and into our arms. Dawn and Dusk are now living in a cattery that they once only dared to dream about. Brother and sister now play like kittens with all of the other ARF residents. They are about 5 months old and would like to stay together when they find their forever home.
Hobo Joe, the Aussie mix; Gus, the young Rottweiler; and Duke, the chow chow, are also available for adoption or fostering. Call ARF at (951) 659-1122 to set up an appointment or come by on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
ARF has several other cats and dogs ready for new homes. Go to www.idyllwildarf.org and click on Petfinder. Email arf@greencafe.com.
