Happy New Year!


Hi everyone! 2010 is almost over and 2011 is just around the corner! A new year...time to start fresh. And because everyone else is busy making New Years resolutions...I thought I would make a few of my own.

For starters, I've decided to be much more patient. I promise not to get too upset when it takes the staff a long time to share their lunch.

I'm also going to be friendlier. I promise not to hiss at new cats and dogs when they first come into the shelter. I really must learn to share my "home" with those less fortunate.

I will respect others property. I will not put all of the pens on the floor and sit in the box of calenders on the desk.

I will not be as curious and blame the staff when I get locked in places I should not be in the first place.

I will try to be more active and greet the visitors instead of lounging in my bed all day.


I think that pretty much covers any of my "bad" habits. It's going to be a long road...but I can do it. And if I don't...well...the staff and visitors will love me anyway. I'm just that special. :)

Polar


We have a new friend at the shelter that I would like to tell you about. His name is Polar, and he came to live with us yesterday afternoon. As you can see from his picture, he hasn't had the easiest life.

It all started when the girls got a phone call from a kind lady who had found an injured cat eating birdseed outside her door. She knew he was badly injured and VERY hungry and she knew she had to get him help as soon as possible. The girls told her to bring him to us right away, and they called Dr Grant at Oromocto Vet to let her know that they would be bringing him over as soon as he arrived. I didn't get to even say Hi when he came through the door because he was taken right over to see the doctor!

Poor Polar! Not only had he scratched his ears til he bled, not only did he have a HUGE gash on his forehead that had to be stitched up...but he also had to have some surgery right away. His tail had somehow become mangled and couldn't be repaired so there was no choice but to amputate it.

He's doing pretty good! He was soooo hungry though. I'm looking forward to being allowed to meet him soon. I was told I have to wait til he feels alot better though. He's still a little traumatized from being on his own and having to fend for himself. The good news is that he is loving the attention he is getting from the girls...and he is even purring when he gets his cuddles.

I am so happy that he was rescued and brought to us. I'm even happier that we have a place like this where we can all be safe and cared for. Cats like me and Polar...we're the lucky ones.

A Bittersweet Goodbye




Two long years have gone by since Homer and Angel, our ring-necked doves came to live with us at the shelter. Over that time, they had become part of the shelter family...greeting visitors, charming children, and surprising everyone when they laughed. They even put up with me and the other cats when we climbed on their cage to watch them (and maybe drool just a little).


Well...today we said Goodbye to Homer and Angel when they went to live in their new home. A very good friend of the Oromocto and Area SPCA recently lost her beloved dove and when she called us to say she would like to adopt Homer and Angel, we didn't hesitate to say Yes! We know that they will have the VERY best of care and love. And even though we know that they were happy living with us, we like knowing how happy they are going to be for MANY years to come with Kim!


So...next time you come in to visit...the bird cage will probably be empty. Waiting for the next souls who need us. Maybe I'll be allowed to name them this time!

Winter Flooding and our Safe Haven


Hi everyone...if you live in the Maritimes, you are very aware of all the rain and flooding that has been going on in our neck of the woods! Actually, even if you don't live here, you've probably heard about it. Imagine...the middle of December and it's flooding like it's the spring!

I'm one of the lucky ones...I have a warm, safe place to live and I didn't have to worry one bit about getting wet or cold or having no where to go. All of the animals that live here temporarily are the lucky ones. And we know it.

But as you know, there are so many homeless, abused and neglected animals who never make it to a place like this one. Animals who are cold every night, whose bellies are empty, and who need veterinary care for injuries and diseases. That's why it's so important to make sure that shelters like ours are always able to keep their doors open. So that there is always a safe haven for animals like me when we need one.

Please, please, please...donate to your local shelter. You would be surprised at how far the staff can make a dollar go. Every penny helps to keep the doors open, the lights on, and our bellies full. We appreciate every single act of kindness. We know what it's like to go without.

Christmas Party for the Animals!


Guess what?? We're having a PARTY! A Christmas party just for us! It's on December 19th from 1pm to 3pm right here at the shelter. We're going to have stuff to drink and eat for the humans...and people are going to bring us presents! Presents just for us animals!

Can you tell I'm excited?

If you're wondering what kind of presents we would like to have...you can check out our wish list on our website http://www.oromoctospca.ca/ We're not fussy!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Adoption Fun!


Our week has started with so much fun! Monday we sent home 5 kittens! And today, we've already sent home a kitten and Bones, a dog that has been with us for several weeks.

So cross your fingers and toes and whiskers...let's hope the rest of the week is just as busy and just as much fun!

Heroes for the Homeless


Picture this....firefighters, paramedics, RCMP officers, police officers, and soldiers...coming together to support homeless animals. Well...that's exactly what happened when 13 local heroes came together to help raise money for us!

These amazing men, and Heather Grattan (an extraordinary lady and photographer) helped us put together our very first "Heroes for the Homeless" 2011 calender.

The calenders are now on sale and every single penny will go directly to help the orphans at the shelter. Trust me...you won't be disappointed!

I've even given you a sneak peek...this picture is of Adam, an Oromocto firefighter, with Gracie the border collie. Now you know you want to see the rest!

~Hissy E~

Home for the Holidays!


Christmas is almost here!! I love Christmas! We get lots of visitors who come in to the shelter who bring treats and cuddles and lots of smiles and love! Best of all...we get to see so many orphan animals (like me) go to new families during the holiday season.

In case you haven't been in to visit the last few weeks....there are alot of us cats and even kittens that are waiting for the "purr"fect family. So the girls here at the shelter decided to kick off the Christmas season with a little incentive to help all of the feline orphans here at the Oromocto SPCA. From November 29th to December 5th, we are once again going to waive our adoption fees in place of a by-donation fee...but don't forget...this still includes the first vaccines, deworming, spay or neuter and microchipping! What a deal!

If you were thinking that it's time to add a new friend to your home to keep you warm this winter....please come and adopt...you were right..it's time!!!

The Edmundston 13 turn 2!




I don't usually wish a Happy Birthday to dogs...it's not that I hate them..they just never bring me any cake! But today I am going to break my own rule and wish a Happy Birthday to not only one dog...but 13 of them.


Most of you will remember the news from 2 years ago when a box of 13 little 3 week old puppies were found near Edmundston in the middle of the road. A VERY kind person stopped and found the babies and called the RCMP. This person saved their lives. It was cold, and dark, and they easily could have died or been hit by one of the passing vehicles. Thankfully, they were transported to our shelter and fostered by an amazing foster mom who gave up 5 weeks of her life to care for ALL 13 of the babies.


Now...2 years later, these same little puppies are full grown, happy adult dogs who bring their families so much joy every single day. Many of them even meet regularly to play!


So..Happy Birthday to all of the Edmundston 13! Thank you for reminding us why we do what we do every single day.


Maybe next year on your birthday...you can bring me some of that cake!

Luv-a-Life Update!


Hi everyone...not only do I have good news..I have GREAT news! 3..yes I said 3.. of our long time feline residents just recently found loving forever homes!!

Rosie O', Flint and Wilson were all cats that had been with us for over 3 months just waiting for the right people to walk through the doors and fall in love with them...and it happened. And we are all so happy for them!

So to my friends...Merry Christmas...and I hope you have amazing lives filled with love. You deserve it!

Christmas is Coming!


I know..I know..it's only November and already that darn cat is talking about Christmas! That's what many of you are probably thinking as you read the title of this edition of my blog. But it's true....it's coming...and I just want all of you to be prepared. So...to help you out with a little of your Christmas shopping..I created some fantastic Pet Christmas Stockings in my free time. There are dog stockings and cat stockings (which I personally think are more important)...and each one of them is STUFFED with toys and treats! And...one of the best parts is...they are only $10 each. You could even pick up a new family member to go with that stocking.....one stop shopping!

Just think....you buy a stocking for your own pet...and that purchase helps a homeless animal get a second chance at a forever home of their own. I like to think of it as pets helping pets.

So....get on in to the shelter...they won't last "fur"ever!

Wanted-New Position


As many of you know...I am the resident blogger, office cat, supervisor, lunch taste-tester and Queen Bee. Thankfully, I am an incredibly good multi-tasker. I not only keep the shelter running smoothly but I do it all with a smile and a purr.

I have been with the Oromocto SPCA for almost a year and a half and while I have only held all of these positions for about 8 months...I was thinking that maybe it was time for a career change. Don't get me wrong...I love the shelter...I love the girls, the other animals and especially the visitors. But I keep hearing about another job that I think I would like to try.

So...I've decided to start job hunting. I'm hoping to give up my office cat status in place of a new lap cat position.

I think I'm quite qualified for the job. I like to be petted. I purr when I'm happy. I like treats. I love to curl up on cold winter nights with my family. And I am eager to learn and I work well as a team.

So...if anyone hears of any openings...please let me know. I can forward on my resume if needed. I can also give references.

PS...I work for minimal pay.

Catapult Fun!










If you didn't make it out to the Dogtoberfest Festival last weekend...I hear you missed a really good time! So did I...they allowed dogs so I stayed here.




I did manage to get ahold of a few pics of the amazing soldiers who braved the cold for almost 7 hours to make sure that the pumpkin catapult worked. These soldiers were professional, and friendly and very dedicated. They put alot of smiles on alot of faces that day!




So to the soldiers who built and manned the catapult on November 30th for Dogtoberfest...WE SALUTE YOU!








~Hissy.E~

Grayson and Tanner







I want you to meet some of our longest residents here at the shelter. Grayson and Tanner are male angora bunnies that have been living with us since May. That's 6 months!! And while they are quiet and don't make alot of fuss...we all think that it's time for them to find a forever home!



As you can see from their picture...they are pretty hairy little guys. They need a home where they will get brushed ALOT. They also need to eat fruits and veggies and hay every single day. (I've tried that stuff they call hay and I'm REALLY glad that I don't have to eat it!)



Tanner and Grayson are also really good buddies so they have to go to a home together. Apparently, rabbits get very sad, just like people, when they are seperated from their best friend.



So...maybe you should come in and meet them. They really just need a chance to show you how sweet they are. They are even good with cats and dogs!



Hope to see you soon. And if you bring a treat for little òl me..you might even get a cuddle from yours truly!

Did you know that all across North America, shelters are celebrating next week? It's National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week and we hope that you come in and celebrate with us!!


On Sunday (weather permitting), we will be having a free bbq to say thanks to everyone who volunteers, adopts and donates! Come by from noon to 3pm and get a bite to eat and visit with the staff and animals.


All next week we will be holding a Pet Photo contest. Drop your pet's cute pictures off at the shelter for a chance to win a cat or dog bed filled with goodies.


Visit Sobey's, Pawsative Rewards, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire and Giant Tiger (all in Oromocto) and donate something from our wish list. There will be special boxes set up in each location.


Visit the shelter for specials on microchipping and meet some of our Luv-a Life cats. There will even be a special art corner for kids to show us their talent.


Without animal shelters...there would be many hundreds of thousands of homeless animals. I would be one of them! Next week....let's all show out appreciation for the shelters in our areas. And for the hard work they do...saving lives one at a time.

Dogtoberfest Festival


I hope that you already have this date marked on your calender....October 30, 2010! Cause that's the day that us and the Fredericton SPCA are joining forces to have a "haunting" good time together!

From noon to 4pm this Saturday at the Bucket Club..there is going to be a Dogtoberfest Festival with LOTS of fun things for the whole family to take part in.

There will be a haunted mini-golf, games, a bbq, pet pics, and the best thing ever...a pumpkin catapult!

I really wish I could go. But I have to stay behind at the shelter to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Without me....things just might fall apart. SO...I hope that all of you get a chance to go to the Bucket Club and have lots of fun! If you happen to get some pictures of the great time that you had...let me know...and I'll share them on here. Have a great Dogtober day!

MUTINY at the Shelter!!

The CATS and KITTENS at the Oromocto and Area SPCA have declared MUTINY! It's Adopt a Shelter Dog Month...BUT...the felines want in on the fun too....so they've banded together and decided to waive their own adoption fees and replace it with a by donation adoption fee! This will still include first vaccines, deworming, spay or neuter and microchipping.....there's no better deal than that! Help the cats and kittens at the shelter get revenge on the dogs...and come and adopt your new friend today

Busy Autumn Days!


As you all know...October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month. (Don't worry...I'm not jealous...June is Adopt a Shelter Cat month). And we've been doing lots of fun things here at the shelter this month.

We had the Rubber Duck Derby which helped raise over $1500 for the shelter. We're also having a coloring contest, a raffle for a HUGE dog bed filled with tons of stuff, an essay contest in the elementary schools, a Dogtoberfest festival at the Bucket Club at the end of the month...AND...we have special trick or treat boxes so that kids can help raise money for the orphans at both our shelter and the Fredericton SPCA. It makes me tired just thinking about it!!

You'd think that we would have our hands full with all of that stuff...but we also have a wonderful calender coming out VERY soon called Heroes for the Homeless. Every month is a different hero (firefighter, policeman, soldier, or paramedic) posing with a cat or dog. And they're all very cute! And I don''t just mean the animals!

We're also working on some special things for National Animal Shelter Appeciation Week which is November 7th to 13th.

AND to top it all off....our Pet Photos with Santa will be at Scott's Nursery on November 27th from 10am to 3pm and at Pawsative Rewards on December 4th from 10am to 3pm.

So much to do....so little time. Maybe...if you have some time to give to help out with any of these upcoming events...you could call us at the shelter. 446-4107 Just ask for Tracy...she's my assistant. I'm sure I can find you something to do to help us out!

Rubber Duck Derby


Can you imagine what it looks like to see hundreds of yellow rubber ducks floating on the St John River?? Well....now's your chance to find out! We're having a RUBBER DUCK DERBY!

On October 2, 2010 we will be launching the ducks to see which one crosses the finish line first. And there's a $500 prize for the person who has bought the duck with the matching number! That would buy ALOT of tuna and cat toys! Special THANK YOU to Debbie Foley who sponsored this fun event! Two paws up Debbie!

So...my advice...drop into the shelter to buy your rubber duck ticket. Or you can find as at the Regent Mall (by Walmart) on September 24th and 25th and at the Fredericton SPCA Pet Expo on September 25th and 26th.

I wish I could go...but the girls said they'd take lots of pictures. All I really need is the name and phone number of the person who wins...............

Puppies, puppies and more puppies.




Did you know that the Oromocto and Area SPCA helps out other shelters in the Maritimes quite regularly??Sometimes, when other shelters have too many animals, they will transfer them to our facility so that they have a better chance of being adopted. By working together, we can be so much more successful and save so many more lives.


Yesterday, the girls recieved a phone call from the Victoria County SPCA who desperately needed help with some dogs. They had a litter of 10 puppies and an adult dog that they no longer had space for and were hoping we could take. So after a flurry of phone calls to foster parents, we anxiously awaited the arrival of our new "tenants".


Bully..the adult boxer mix was pretty happy to get out and stretch after his 2 hour trip. He has settled in nicely. The 10 little husky pups all got bubble baths and dewormed and all piled together for a little snooze while they waited for their foster parents. Even I admit that they were REALLY cute! In another 3 weeks, they will all be ready for adoption. Tell all your friends!


So...thanks to the Victoria County SPCA for going the extra mile to make sure these dogs got a second chance...and thanks to the amazing foster families who have opened their homes to care for the babies!


Together we are unstoppable!

A wonderful reunion!


We had a wonderful reunion last week here at the shelter and I wanted to share it with all of you. I know that I've mentioned about microchipping before and why it's so important...but I want to tell you this story so you can understand just what an amazing tool a microchip can be to reunite animals with their families.

Peaches is a little black and white kitty who was adopted from our shelter just over a year ago. She lived with a wonderful family who loved her SO much. They kept her indoors, spoiled her, and made sure she had an amazing life. But in April, when a door was accidently left open, Peaches got outside and disappeared.

Peaches' mom and dad looked everywhere for her. But no luck. For months they didn't give up...but as time went one...their hope started to fade.

And then last week...someone found a little black and white cat hanging around their house. They called the Oromocto Animal Control officer and he went and picked her up to make sure that she was safe. Luckily, we had given him a microchip scanner so that he could check all the animals in his care. When he realized that the scanner was picking up a chip...he called to let us know that the cat he had found was named Peaches. The girls immediately called Peaches' mom and dad to let them know that she had been found!!!

You can imagine how excited they were to be reunited with their kitty who had been missing for just over 5 months!! Thankfully, Peaches is in good shape. She is VERY VERY happy to be home and safe.

So..I guess the moral of the story is to never give up....and have your pets microchipped. You never know when it might be your pet that is lost.

Brook is Back!


Brook is back at the shelter and is ready to find her forever home! If you would like to meet Brook, maybe take her for a walk or just cuddle....come on in! And don't let the fact that she now only has 3 legs make you feel bad...she can keep up with the other dogs when she's running and playing!

And if you think you might be the perfect home for Brook...she's waiting.

Adoptions!




We had a great weekend for adoptions even though it was a long weekend! We had several cats go home and some great dogs! Waffles, the yellow lab found a home and Cassidy, who had been with us for several months also found a forever home. We love when our orphans find loving, wonderful families. It truly makes our hearts happy.


I still have my paws crossed that one day it will be my turn. Until then...I have people to visit, blogs to write and hamburgers to eat...I hear a hamburger calling my name right now! Have a great week everyone.

Emerald's Happy Ending!


To those of you who visit the shelter regularly..you know that Emerald is a little black lab mix dog who has been with us since February of 2010. She came to us from a home where she had to compete with many other dogs and cats for food and attention, and to top it all off...she was pregnant. So off to foster care Emerald went and there she was able to give birth to her babies and learn that love was something she was going to get lots of from now on. Because she is so shy..it took her a long time to learn to trust again. And even now...after 6 months...she is still extremely shy with people that she does not know.

Of course, everyone here at the shelter loves Emerald VERY much. She has become part of our hearts and we cross our fingers every day that her turn for a forever home will come soon.

And today is that day!! Emerald is going home with her new people this afternoon and we couldn't be more excited!

We know that it will be bittersweet....it's hard to watch them go when we love them so much...but we know that Emerald deserves to have an amazing wonderful forever family!

Good luck Emerald...we love you and wish you the best!

Brook-My Story Part 3







Hi everyone! Just like I promised...I came to the shelter to visit and pose for new pictures. I even had a chance to visit with some of my canine friends while I was here!



As you can see..I am doing SO well! I don't let anything at all get me down. My foster mom says that I am amazing....I think she's right. You can see the picture of her and I together too.



Thanks again everyone...see you soon!

Furry Friends for the Food Bank!







Did you know that here at the shelter we have Turkey, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Toffee, Carrot Cake, Macaroni and Cheese, Hershey and Oreo? Sounds like a yummy meal....but it's really just the names of some of the wonderful cats waiting here at the shelter for new homes!



So...in celebration of these amazing orphans...we have decided to help another wonderful organization in our community who gives back to those in need. The Oromocto Food Bank is currently in need of school supplies for children of families who need a little extra help at this time.



Starting today, August 25th til September 8th...we will be offering a $10 discount on every single cat adopted if you bring in a donation of school supplies for the food bank.



Not only will you be saving a life...but you will be helping a child in need.



And what better feeling is there in the world?

Brook-My Story Part 2


Hi everyone...I know it's been awhile since I posted to let you know how I've been doing. But I've been spending lots of time relaxing and recuperating since my operation.

My foster mom says that I am an amazing girl. I have fit into her home just perfectly and I am up and around and walking with no problems at all. I even sneak up and down the stairs when no one is looking.

The girls at the shelter are eager for me to come and visit..so when I have some free time..I will come in so that they can get some new pics of me to share with you. I want to thank everyone who sent me good thoughts. They definitely helped!

See you soon!

Brook-My Story







Hi there. My name is Brook. I am a rottweiler mix that came to the shelter on July 28, 2010. My good friend Hissy E. has kindly allowed me the use of her blog so that I can tell you my story. Well...part of my story..because it hasn't really ended yet.



I think I'll start my story shortly before I came to the shelter...it's as good a place as any. You see...I had a home at one time. I wasn't always an orphan. But circumstances beyond my control led me to a long road...all alone..and a kind animal control officer who came and got me and brought me here. When the girls here met me...they noticed that I had a limp and they were concerned enough to take me to the veterinarian and have my leg x-rayed. I'm really glad that they did. Because they quickly realized that I was in pain. My elbow had been dislocated quite a long time ago and no one had ever helped me before. Now...we had to decide what the best way to help me was. After another x-ray to make sure that my other front leg was ok...it was decided that the best treatment would be to remove the bad leg so that I wouldn't have anymore long term pain.



I admit...it's a little scary. Next week, I am going to have the surgery done and then I get to go stay with a wonderful foster family until I am fully healed. It's going to cost alot of money to have my leg removed...but everyone here at the shelter has fallen in love with me and they know that I am worth it.



So...in 7 more days..I will be a changed lady. I will make sure that I keep you updated on my progress. Please keep me in your thoughts and if you'd like to come and visit me before my operation..I'll be here...waiting.

Spotlight on Special Cats



For the month of August, I have decided that cats like me should get all the attention! They call us Luv-a-life cats because we are in a special club..a club that's only for cats that have lived here at the shelter for more than 3 months. I must be the president of the club by now! I've been here for 1 year and 2 months!


So...to put the spotlight on me and my buddies Madison, Scabber, Cinder, Jazz, and Cupcake...I have decided that our adoption fee is only going to be $40. And don't forget...this fee includes our vaccines, deworming, spay or neuter, microchipping...and a lifetime of cuddling, love and fun! It doesn't get much better than this!


So...get in your cars and get down here to the shelter. I will be waiting....unless I find a home.


Please Please Please Please....let us all find homes. It's my biggest wish.


~Hissy.E~

Desperately Seeking Foster Families



Have you ever thought about helping homeless animals on a more personal level? I have a way you can help...and get hands on cuddling at the same time.


We are currently looking for new foster families who can help us care for young litters of kittens and pregnant mother cats until they are ready to find homes of their own. It's an easy process...you fill out an application, we visit your home, and then when we have orphans who need a place to go..we call you! We even supply everything you need.


This truly is a life-saving program. We currently have a pregnant mom cat who is patiently waiting for a foster home. We really hope she doesn't have her babies until we can find someone to care for her....giving birth in a shelter is not the ideal situation. Maybe you could be the one?


Please help us to save more lives...the love you get back will be worth every minute you give.

Heroes for the Homeless




























I am so excited to tell you about our new fundraiser that we've started working on this week! After a couple of years of planning and talking, we are finally doing another calender...but this one has a little bit of a twist. It will feature local firefighters, soldiers, emts, and policemen posing with cats and dogs. We are calling it.."Heroes for the Homeless"







We have already started recruiting and we have completed 6 of our photoshoots. Heather Grattan, our photographer, has taken some beautiful pictures and we are excited to see the end result.







The calender will go on sale in September and we think that it will be a HUGE hit.







The pictures are top secret right now...but I managed to sneak to one of the shoots and get a few pics of my own. Sorry...I can't show you any of the final shots...I'd be in alot of trouble...but this will give you a little taste of how fun it was.







Look for the calender to come out soon!
