Bill Nye the Science Guy is looking for his lab partner. Do you think it could be you?

This handsome cat is estimated to be ~3 years old. He is quite fluffy, soft, and has a very loving personality. He has been hanging out with his friend Mistletoe (who is also available) in our Main Cat room over the last few days, and though they keep a respectable distance, they seem to like each others company!

Bill loves to use his big brain to climb high surfaces and hide in a bunch of blankets. Then, when you enter the room, he will come down to greet you and say hello. He can sometimes be moody, but has the tiniest pipsqueak meow you could ask for.

We want to take a moment & reflect on how amazing you all are!

Over the course of this past year, FMAS has been SHOWERED with donations. It truly is amazing to see the community show up for the animals every single day.

This post is to highlight a few of the MANY donations we receive on a daily basis. We thank you all so much for your generosity!

Due to our shelter being so small, we don't have ample room to store everything. So please take a peak at what we currently do & don't need!

Things we do currently need:
- Vegetables for our small animals, toys for the small animals, Cat Litter (Non-clumping)

Things we NO LONGER need right now:
- Pet Food, Pet Treats, Bedding/Blankets, Dog Toys, Cat Toys.

Twas' the night before Christmas🎄,
And all through the shelter,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a guinea pig!
The rescue pets were nestled all snug in their beds,
As visions of milk bones, catnip and veggies danced in their heads.
Dreaming Santa Paws 🎅🐾 would soon be there,
Bringing forever loving homes. ❤️

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the shelter,
not a resident was stirring, not even Sunfish.
Their stockings were hung on their cages with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there.
Our shelter friends were curled up in their beds,
while visions of new families danced in their heads.
The volunteers came to take care of the residents,
they filled their bowls & cleaned their cages.
The kitties got playtime, the pups got walks & rolled in the freshly fallen snow, the guinea pigs had their fill of delicious veggies.
They all had their Christmas Eve snuggles. 🎄

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter.
B***k sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.
Mistletoe peered out the window in a flash,
Tinsel pulled the curtain in a dash.
When, what to their wondering eyes should appear.
But a sleigh & eight reindeer.
The buzz flew promptly around the shelter it must be St. Nick! 🎅

We are dreaming of a White Pitmas this Christmas!

Sunfish & Prince are both handsome white Pitbull mix's who have been patiently waiting so long they have landed themselves on the permanent Good List.

Sunfish - This good boy turns 2 THIS SUNDAY and even though we will make the most of it for him, we are sad to see him celebrating a birthday in the shelter. He has been with us 205 days & waiting ever so patiently.

Prince (currently in foster) - He has been thriving in foster over the last few weeks, and with FMAS a total of 80 days. He is a little older than Sunfish at 2 years 3 months old. He is a big ball of personality and seems to be the king of the castle in his foster home!

- 15%–20% of dogs in shelters are Pit Bulls. That said, it’s challenging to come up with an accurate number as the definition of the breed is quite broad.
- Pit bull statistics vs other dogs show that it takes 3 x longer for this breed to get adopted.
- Out of all Pitbull breeds, White Pitbull's are the ones who stay the longest in the shelter setting.
- Pit Bull Mixes Make 6% of the US Dog Population or 4.5 Million.

Interested in either of these handsome fellas? Apply for them on our website OR you can email [email protected] to inquire about either of them. 🥰
