🐈🍁"Fall is just around the corner and we both need someone to curl up with to watch the leaves fall."🍁🐈JUBILEE

JUBILEE is a 2 year old domestic short hair Calico taken in on 6/24/25 with her 2 kittens. She was removed from a neglect situation. Jubilee is every bit as sweet as her name implies. Friendly and laid back, she likes being talked to and adores being petted. Belly rubs are one of Jubilee's favorites. She's doing well in the free roam, but if others get too close or wild in her vicinity, Jubilee isn't hesitant to give a warning hiss. Otherwise, Jubilee is good at sharing her time in the windowsill with the other calicos in our care. She's super loving and gorgeous with her brown tint. Jubilee's $70 adoption fee helps cover the cost of her spay, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, FIV/FeLV tests, microchip and care while at CCHS.

🐿 WILDLIFE WEDNESDAYS 🐿... Chipmunks - cheeky little devils!

What do cats and chipmunks have in common? Read on to find the answer.

Chipmunks are a ground dwelling squirrel who breed twice a year, having 2-5 young in each litter, one born late spring and another late summer. Young will appear outside their den when they're 4-6 weeks old and will start to find their own territory at 6-8 weeks old.

Chipmunks eat a variety of foods, primarily grains, nuts, berries, seeds, mushrooms, insects, and even carrion. They regularly climb trees in the fall to find nuts, fruits, and seeds. They'll also eat bird eggs and young birds when available and will climb your shepherd hook to steal some jelly. Chipmunks cache or store food by stuffing it into their cheeks, then transporting it to their den. Hard to imagine, but these fellows share something in common with cats.... they spend about 15 hours a day sleeping!

How do chipmunks manage to stuff so much food into their mouth? A chipmunk can hold up to 2 tablespoons of food in its mouth. That may not seem like a lot until you consider the size of its head, which is about the size of an adult's big toe. Chipmunks have a special pouch that runs along the inside of each cheek and into the neck. These pouches have skin that separates them from the rest of its mouth, allowing him/her to have stuffed cheeks while still being able to munch on a single seed.

🐕💜"When I met you in the restaurant, you could tell I was no debutante. You asked me what's my pleasure, a movie or a measure? I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming, dreaming is free. Dreaming, dreaming is free."💜🐕DEBORAH (Blondie, Dreaming)

DEBORAH is a 3 year old mixed breed taken in with her 6 puppies on 6/30/25 when their owner passed. Deborah is as loving and tender with people as she was with her pups. She loves people and wants to be part of the family. When her pups would nap, she would jump in the chair next to the cat room window. From there, Deborah could see the comings and goings of the lobby. It isn't that she's a busy body, she simply wants to be part of your life. While cleaning one day, a toy was tossed out of the way and Deborah trotted over to retrieve and return it to us. Fetch might be in her repertoire. Deborah's a good walker who's only fault is barking at other dogs she sees, but is receptive to correction. If you're seeking a sweetheart and lap dog, then Deborah is definitely your girl! She's house broken. Deborah's adoption fee is $150 and helps cover the cost of her spay, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, microchip and care while at CCHS. At intake, she tested positive for Lyme disease and has been treated.

Deborah weighs 40 lbs. All her puppies have been adopted.

🐈💜"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical! And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me."💜🐈OZWALD (Supertramp, The Logical Song)

OZWALD, 6 weeks old at intake, is a domestic short hair Tabby taken in as an orphan kitten on 6/21/25. This cutie purrs from the word go! Friendly and loving, Ozwald adores being petted, likes being cradled in your arms and is a lap cat. Playful, he enjoys a good joust with the teaser. Never heard Ozwald meow until I quit showering him with attention! Sounds needy, but after a little while, he resumed lying quiet and proudly in his kennel. Ozwald has so many "purrks," it's difficult to imagine him being with us much longer. His adoption fee is $85 and helps cover the cost of his neuter, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, FIV/FeLV tests, microchip and care while at CCHS.

🐈 When choosing cat litter, listen to your cat! AND make sure to scoop your feline friend's litter box at least daily. Cats are a lot like us, they prefer to use a clean restroom and will go elsewhere if the facilities are dirty. In other words, if you don't keep their litter box clean, they will use the bathroom somewhere other than the litter box. Their success depends on your efforts. 🐈

🐕💜"Just a perfect day. Problems all left alone. Weekenders on our own. It's such fun! Just a perfect day. You made me forget myself. I thought I was someone else. Someone good."💜🐕 DAISY (Chantel Claret, Perfect Day)

DAISY has been a CCHS resident for 3 years & 6 months.

DAISY is a 6 1/2 year old mixed breed taken in as a lost dog on 3/17/22. This party girl loves people, is endlessly energetic and darling! Daisy is anxious to meet everyone and can be a little over the top with her enthusiasm, but she does have manners and will apply them when you insist. She would probably make a great companion for an active person who enjoys working out, but would benefit from some leash training. If you like bubbly, happy, spirited doggies, then this girl's for you! Daisy is a diva of sorts and will fare best as the only pet. Her adoption fee is sponsored. She's spayed, current on vaccinations, wormed, treated with monthly heart worm and flea preventive and microchipped. At intake, Daisy tested positive for both Lyme disease and heart worm. She's completed treatment for both.

🐈💜"La, there's no doubt about it. La la la la , I know you thought about it. La la la la, 'cause I'm a conquistadora. Conquistadora, I conquer all I see. Now you belong to me"💜🐈VELEENA(Chantel Claret, Conquistadora)

VELEENA is a 1 year old domestic short hair Tortie taken in as lost on 5/17/25. Uber friendly, this lady adores attention. Veleena is a lover who likes being petted and is even a fan of belly rubs as she flip flops and rolls around. She's also a major player who had a blast swatting, chasing and biting the teaser. When moved to the free roam, Veleena demonstrated a high aptitude for melodrama. She insists that the other cats and kittens maintain no less than a 2 foot perimeter away from her! If you're a cat and cross that imaginary boundary, she'll howl, growl and yowl at octaves not unlike big cats of the jungle. But should a person reach out to pet her during one of her warnings, Veleena immediately downshifts from drama queen to love bug. If you're ready to devote completely to her, then she's ready to be your one and only kit cat. Veleena's adoption fee helps cover the cost of her spay, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, FIV/FeLV tests, microchip and care while at CCHS.

🐕💜"You're good as gold, you're right as rain. You take no credit and you take no blame. So lift me up, and bring me down. Drop the needle, spin the record around."💜🐕 FURGUS (Dropkick Murphys, Good as Gold)

FURGUS has been at CCHS 6 months.

FURGUS is a 1 year old mixed breed taken in as lost on 2/13/25. He's an easy walker with a medium energy level and he loves having his hips rubbed. A bit of a treat snob, Furgus was not impressed with either of our choices and we couldn't convince him to sit, even with a tasty bribe. He might know sit, but that's not the trick he had in mind. Furgus did drop to the ground and show us his belly before rolling once, then twice, then a third time. He can be a little goofy! Furgus is good with cats, dogs and kids. His $150 adoption fee helps cover the cost of his neuter, vaccinations, worming, monthly heart worm and flea preventive, microchip and care while at CCHS.

🐈💜"Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get."💜🐈MRS. GUMP (Forrest Gump)

MRS. GUMP is a 1 year old domestic short hair Tabby taken in with her litter of 4 week old kittens on 5/29/25. They were found living under a porch that was being demolished. Mrs. Gump is a petite young lady who's friendly and sweet as sugar. A nurturing momma, she became a surrogate for a lone orphan kitten, Gladys, after her litter was weened. For the most part, Mrs. Gump accepts everyone, but occasionally she prefers to be left alone. She's active, playful on her own and with other kitties and adores attention. Mrs. Gump likes being petted and sometimes held. She oscillates between claiming the spotlight and being a wallflower. Mrs. Gump's adoption fee is $70 and helps cover the cost of her spay, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and tick preventive, FIV/FeLV tests, microchip and care while at CCHS.
