Huge THANK YOU to The Kettle Stop in Capon Bridge, WV for allowing us to put a donation jar out last summer and this summer, the wonderful people that work there and very obviously also care about the welfare of local cats, and to the amazing people who have donated to our jar. We picked up the monthly donations yesterday and in one month we raised enough to Trap, Neuter and Return a local outdoor male 🐈 🙏

Keep a look out for our donation jar at The Kettle Stop when you stop by to get one of their incredible ice cream treats or patronize one of the other small businesses there 🍩 🍦😋

We also have a jar at the Hanging Rock Liberty and Stoney Creek Country Store in Largent and will be putting more out at area establishments in the next few weeks.

We can’t do this without our caregivers, volunteers, friends and supporters who all share the mission of humanely controlling the outdoor cat population and bettering those cats’ quality of life through TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return)♥️

Where are all the cat lovers out there?! We have NINETEEN CATS who have been with us - without a loving family of their own - for OVER A YEAR! Some for two or three years!! Why??

Sure, some are seniors or special needs. But some are young and healthy cats who are just a little shy and get overlooked 😿

Please SHARE if you cannot adopt. We are open to out-of-state adoptions (within reason) for most cats! Fill out an application!

You can view our adoptable cats in our Facebook albums or on Petfinder here: https://www.petfinder.com/search/cats-for-adoption/?shelter_id%5B0%5D=MD271&sort%5B0%5D=recently_added

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.
