Colonial Heights Animal Control

12/31/2024

Are you missing me? I have been roaming around the VCU medical center area behind target for a few months. Animal Control and medical staff in that area has been trying to get me for a while but they never could. But today a wonderful staff member at Pivot was able to pick me up and I am now safe at the shelter! I am super sweet, loving and love pets. I am definitely not a feral cat what so ever. If you know me or know where I belong or could’ve came from please call the shelter at 804-520-9397!

GREAT NEWS!!!! Look who is heading home. This wonderful family came out to meet Stella last week and feel in love. They spent the weekend getting everything ready for her to come home and they are looking forward to spending Christmas with her. We could not be happier for her and her family.

You guys have been so generous this Christmas season, and we cannot think you all enough

Do y'all remember that cute little scared pitty that came in last Monday? She was found by a citizen the Thursday before she came. Well, no one ever claimed her, which is really shocking because she is an ABSOLUTE sweetheart, well mannered, very calm and affectionate. We had a wonderful person come in a few days ago and he fell in love with her. He put an application in and waited somewhat patiently to see if anyone would claim her. Her stray hold ended yesterday, and they were eager to come in and officially adopt her first thing this morning. As you can see, it did not take her long to make herself right at home lol. Her new owner said she has been a baby doll. We were calling her Millie, but she is now officially named, Lady Bird. Congratulations sweet girl, we are so happy for you, and we hope you have a wonderful future.

***ADOPTED***

Mett Olive, (named after olive green eyes, they look yellow in the picture, but they are more green in person). She is the sweet girl who was found at Walmart and jumped right in someone's van. She was never claimed. We had a couple people message us thinking she may have been theirs, but unfortunately it did not match up. She is currently available for adoption and is sweet as can be. Olive is pretty content with taking long naps and having her humane love on her whenever she wants attention lol. There are some days where she is standoffish and then there are days where she is weaving in and out of your legs while you are trying to walk. She enjoys looking out the window, and she enjoys getting under blankets for her naps sometimes. All in all, she is a sweet baby ready to go home. If you are interested in meeting this beauty, call the shelter at 804-5209397 ext. 5.

Update Saturday 12/21/24 Today we cat tested Louie, and he was not bothered by them at all, he was more interested in trying to steal their toys lol. We have also learned that Louie is good with kids, he is pretty fast to grab a toy before you, so watch those little fingers. He is HIGHLY treat motivated, and he will unstuff a toy faster than the company stuffed it 🤣🤣 Please keep sharing this sweet boy.

Meet Louie!
This handsome hunk was a stray and was never claimed and he is now looking for his furever home. Louie is a BIG boy and could use to lose a few pounds. With that in mind Louie is a very strong boy. He is super sweet and loves to play with toys. He loves to cuddle and run around the yard and absolutely loves his butt scratches. His favorite toys are tennis balls and tug of war with a larger rope. He has done well with dogs he has met here at the shelter that are not reactive themselves but meet and greets are required if there are other dogs in the home, cat test is still pending. If interested in Louie the shelter is open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm staff pending or you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext. 5 to schedule a meet and great!

****WE ARE ASKING YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH ANY INFORMATION!!!!****

This is T-Bone, now named Sharky!

This handsome boy is the one we had posted about asking for high protein food! He came into a neighboring jurisdiction just skin and bones and we stepped in to assist them and pull him.

**His story**

T-Bone was found in the City of Petersburg as a stray and due to the area and how he was found we are assuming he was dumped somewhere on shelter property. We are working very closely with Petersburgh in finding where this sweet boy came from. We could really use your help. If anyone has any information you can call the Colonial Heights shelter at 804-520-9397 ext. 5 or you can call Petersburg shelter at 804-732-3654.

**He is not available for adoption**
