Furry Friend Fridays

Pippan

This week’s featured Woods Guest is Pippin, a very pretty solid black short haired lady with beautiful golden eyes, extremely soft fur and a very regal face. She’s a quiet cat who is somewhat afraid of other cats in the cattery, so you can usually find her in a cubby or on a window sill, but she is very approachable and friendly. As soon as you walk up to her she will start purring and charm you into petting her. Pippen loves to touch noses with you and her gentle head-butts will melt your heart. And if you can bring yourself to stop petting her, Pippen will reach out with one of her little black paws and gently pull your hand back in.

Pippen is spayed, micro chipped, and current on vaccinations. She is 4 years old and has been a guest of our shelter since April of 2009. Pippen is helping us continue this month’s $5 Feline Fridays promotion and is available for a reduced adoption fee of only $5 each Friday in April. Stop by Woods Humane Society today and spend some time getting know Pippin and the other $5 Friday Felines—all of these amazing cats are desperately seeking a new loving home to call their own.

Duma

This week’s featured pet pal is Duma, a large, handsome buff colored tabby with stunning amber eyes. He’s a quiet 2-year-old guy who tends to keep to himself, so to get to know him you have to seek him out in the cattery. But he is worth the effort—loving and affectionate, Duma is a gentle sweetheart. It doesn’t take him long to respond to petting—and you’ll know you are winning him over when he erupts into his deep, rumbling purr. And He’ll happily climb into your lap for a little snooze if you’d like. Because he is shy, Duma will need some patience and time to acclimate to a new home. But once this sweet fellow finds his “forever” home and learns to trust you, he’s going to make a very loyal, loving companion. Duma is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and as a WHS resident of over 300 days is available for a reduced adoption fee of only $5 every Friday in April. Stop by Woods Humane Society today and get to know our 300+ Club (23 cats) who are all available for $5 every Friday in April.

Tangerine

This week’s Featured Pet Pal is Tangerine, a 4-year-old orange and white medium haired cat who has called Woods Humane Society her home since June. Tangerine is spayed, current on vaccinations, micro chipped and litter box trained. She has gorgeous fur, big round eyes, and a punk nose that sports freckles. She can be a bit shy and quiet and keeps to herself a bit, but she responds quickly and eagerly to your attention. Sit down with her and she’ll welcome your lap to curl up in, and will settle down for as long as you let her, purring away.

Though she is shy, Tangerine is calm and serene and doesn’t seem to get fazed by much in the cattery—even other cats. And with her gentle nature, she would be a good choice for a family with children. Tangerine is not a demanding cat—all this littler girl will need from someone is room and board, lots of love and a warm lap to call her own. Tangerine is helping us launch April’s feline promotion where all of the cats who have been guests of Woods over 300 days are available for a reduced adoption fee of only $5 on any Friday in April.

MeowMeow

This week’s featured Pet Pal is Meow Meow, a 9-year-old tortoishell cat who has called Woods Humane Society home since January. Meow Meow is spayed, current on vaccinations, micro chipped, and litter box trained. She was brought to Woods by her previous owner who has raised her since birth. Unfortunately, Meow Meow’s previous owner made the decision to bring her to WHS due to her in-compatibility issues with their other 3 cats. She is described as “perfect” and “loves people”. Although a little timid at first, Meow Meow can usually be found lounging in our cattery, snuggled up to one of her feline catterymates. Oddly, Meow Meow tolerates large dogs better than other cats. She would do best in a quiet home and although she does get along well with others, would prefer to be the only cat in the house. Meow Meow would also prefer to be an indoor only cat. Her previous owner has left contact information at the shelter should anyone have any questions about Meow Meow. As a “senior” (7+) guest of Woods, Meow Meow is available for a reduced adoption fee of only $65. A staff favorite—the shelter’s Operations Director has fallen absolutely in love with Meow Meow and has stated how if WHS did not already have an office cat on staff, Meow Meow would definitely have a home in the shelter’s administration wing. Meow Meow is the perfect cat for an older person or for someone who lives alone (and is in need of the unquestionable love that can only be found in the warm, rumbling purr of a Woods Cat). Stop by the shelter today and spend some time getting to know Meow Meow, she is a special treasure and desperate to find a loving new home.

Tweetie

This week’s featured pet is Tweetie, a 4-year-old a medium haired, black and white, spayed female cat who has called WHS her home since August. Tweetie is current on vaccinations and is also litter box trained. Tweetie is a very pretty white cat with black markings, bunny soft fur and huge, round golden eyes. This petite little darling is friendly and outgoing and welcomes a friendly lap to curl up in for some love. She’s also very active and curious, so she’ll be off to explore and return to make sure you lap is still there from time to time.

Tweetie has a wonderful personality that would fit into any household. Sweet and non-aggressive toward other cats, she will only need a little time and patience in order to adjust to a new environment. She’d love to be a part of your family –furry or not. Tweetie is gentle, loving, and affectionate—and just look at her: who could resist that adorable little face. She is helping us to continue this week’s Valentines Promotion of all adult felines ready to go to a great new home for only $14 until Saturday.

Stormy

This week, we are featuring Stormy-a 1.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog who has been bunking at Woods Humane Society since the middle of January. Originally a transfer from SLO County Animal Services, Stormy has quickly caught the loving eye of our amazing volunteer offsite handlers. Stormy is spayed, current on license, vaccinated, and leash trained. She gets along very well with other dogs and can usually be found romping around a play yard with a group of her kennelmates. Australian Cattle Dogs are happiest in wide open spaces, are very high-energy dogs and extremely intelligent, so they need a job – such as herding, obedience or agility – to keep them happy. While wary of strangers, the breed bonds closely to its family, though the owner must establish themselves as the pack leader. Their smooth, short coat requires only occasional baths and brushing.

Great with kids, Sugar is gentle, sweet, and highly tolerant. She also gets along well with other dogs. Sugar is an older lady who likes to walk—she does very well both on and off leash. Although she doesn’t really play fetch, grab a squeaky toy and sugar will instantly give you those “I want to play” eyes. A calm dog that isn’t going to ask for very much, Sugar is simply looking for a warm home to retire in. Her previous owner states that Sugar’s best qualities are that she is gentle and compassionate and they have left contact information at the shelter should you want or need more information on Sugar. Stop by and spend some time with Sugar, she can usually be found lying quietly behind the shelter’s front desk and assisting with adoptions.

Alex

This week we are featuring Alex, a 3-year-old lab/shepherd mix who has called Woods Humane Society home since October. Alex is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro chipped, leash trained, and crate trained. He travels very well in the car and has recently been taking shelter volunteers on long hikes up Madonna Mountain. Alex is mellow and has performed exceptionally well as a Woods K9 Ambassador on numerous outreach activities. Alex is a large dog with a big heart and a lot of energy. He is a perfect match for an active family and would enjoy long walks around the neighborhood, hikes, camping trips, or the water. Due to his size, we do not recommend him for families with children under 7 years. Alex loves to play with his chew toys and does a great job entertaining himself. He is very quick to show affection and if you give him a little love, he will return it willingly by leaning against your leg as he slides down onto his back, feet up in the air, begging for a belly rub. Alex is described by shelter volunteers as being a “fun” dog to work with. He responds great to commands and is very treat/praise motivated. If you are looking for a larger dog that will turn heads as you walk around town, consider stopping by Woods Humane Society and spend some time getting to know Alex.

Jupiter will meow (and meow and meow) and will even reach out and gently grab your hand to bring it back for more pets. Then he’ll roll over fetchingly on his back to ensure he gets all the love he can!

Calm and very good natured, Jupiter gets along with everyone—people and cats alike and would be a great choice for any household. He can give little love bites, but like everything else about him, they are sweet and gentle.

Reggie

Reggie is an extremely handsome medium haired orange tabby with a white chin and somewhat gruff looking face that belies his incredibly sweet nature. Just walk toward him and he begins to purr—pet his extremely soft fu and he’ll melt before your very eyes! Reggie is exceptionally affectionate and loving. He’ll roll over and his back begging you for more love, and will gently grab your hand with his big soft paws and give you a soft little love bite to say thank you.

Reggie is playful, but gentle—he’d be a great choice for any household and might welcome a “brother or sister” to play with if you have children. And he’s good with other cats—can usually be found curled up with another cattery mate. Reggie is a special cat—this handsome boy is easy to get to know and easier to fall in love with—and he’s just waiting to fall in love with you, too.

Reggie is 2 years old, neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and is helping us to continue our celebration of National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. All felines at Woods Humane Society are available for a reduced adoption fee of $55 for the entire month of June.

Heath

Our Pet of the Week this week is Heath, a 5-year-old neutered male cat who has called Woods Humane Society his home since December. Heath is a very handsome short haired gray boy with a white chest, white feet and a tiny white spot on his bottom lip.

And he loves everyone—will happily go from lap to lap, soaking up whatever love and affection he can find. Heath is current on vaccinations, neutered, micro chipped, and litter box trained.

Heath is very tolerant and mellow and would be a great choice for a family with children. And he’s very non-aggressive toward other cats, so would probably be good with other pets.

KITTUNZ 2010

Meet the first round of 2010 Woods Kits. These two extremely playful and friendly orange/white tabby kits are neutered, within their vaccination schedule, micro chipped, and working on their potty training. Kittens are arriving weekly at Woods and in response; we are featuring our felines (adults and kits) for a reduced adoption fee of $55 for the entire month of June. June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and it is our goal to break the record of 61 feline adoptions set back in September. If you are looking to welcome a new furry friend into your family, please consider stopping by Woods Humane Society to spend some time with the adorable babies who are desperately seeking a place to call home. While you are out, we implore you to stop visit with our adult cats as they tend to be overlooked during kitten season. You can also help the cats at Woods by spreading the word to your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers about our June Promotion.

Media Pawtner Update: Thank you for helping to maintain a clear and consistent voice for the animals of Woods in our community. Last week’s featured dog—Casey—was adopted on Saturday thanks to you! And the good news doesn’t top here—LOVE HOG HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!!! after calling Woods his home for 2 years, the our resident “big boy” went home. Wait for it…. GILDA our old lady cat who didn’t have very many teeth left has also gone home this week! And I am not finished yet—Onyx (talkative black “dogcat”) is currently living in a new home as well!! I’d have to say this has been a very good week for the cats of Woods. Previously featured animals still waiting for their perfect match are Mr. Green, Ike, Dewey and Miguel.

Muffin

Muffin is a handsome orange tabby with beautiful bright eyes. He tends to be a little shy so my not notice him right away but once he discovers you are interested in petting him he’ll become your best friend and follow you everywhere. He especially loves to have his ears rubbed and he expresses his contentment by purring like a will oiled machine. Muffin is a sweetheart and gets along well with other cats but because of his shyness would probably do better in a home without small children. Our Mr. Mellow is a gem and will be a wonderful addition to your home.

Muffin has been a guest of Woods since March and joined our adoption program as a transfer from Animal Services. He is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro chipped, and litter box trained. Muffin is helping us conclude April’s promotion and is available for a reduced adoption fee of $50.

Ike

This week’s featured Pet Pal is Ike, a 3-year-old handsome black and white tuxedo cat with an adorable black nose and half of a black mustache. Ike is neutered, current on vaccinations, micro chipped, and litter box trained. He joined Woods’ adoption program as a transfer from the SLO County Animal Services back in February and is patiently waiting for a new loving family to adopt. Ike is a big boy—fluffy with a fat tail, but has the cutest little meow that belies his size. Moreover, he’ll be sure to let you hear it if you seek him out in the cubby or shelf he tends to favor. Though he quietly keeps to himself, Ike is extremely loving and affectionate and will welcome your attention immediately. Ike starts purring as soon as you pet him and continues long after you stop—though that’s hard to do because he’s so adorable. He’ll implore you to keep rubbing by rolling over on his back and looking up at you with his love filled light gray eyes. Good natured and gentle, Ike will do well in a household and should be a good fit for a family with children. Ike is helping us launch our feline special for this month and all adult felines are available for a reduced adoption fee of only $50 all of April.

Trooper

Our Pet of the Week is Trooper, a 5-year-old tan and white Corgi-Basset Hound Mix (Corset) who is a guest of Woods since December. Trooper is a sweet dog that is neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and leash trained. He is a little shy, but quickly warms up to anyone willing to give him a pat on the head. He rides very well in the car, gets along great with other dogs, and is perfect for someone looking for a quite, mellow dog that is easy to manage. Very responsive to treats and affection, Trooper would be great for a smaller home with older/considerate children. Recently, Trooper accompanied a pack of dogs and Woods Volunteers out for a night with the Central Coast Roller Derby Girls. He performed wonderfully at the event and has since become one of the shelter’s handpicked Pet Visitation K9 Ambassadors. A bit of a conversation starter, at first glance most people think that Trooper is cross-eyed. In reality, he just has a unique coloring to his eyes. Trooper wants nothing more than to find a sweetheart this Valentine’s Day so if you are looking for a companion that enjoys long walks on the beach, watching the sunset, and curling up to snuggle and watch a movie, consider stopping by Woods Humane Society and spend some time getting to know this great little dog.

This week’s featured Pet Pal is “Love Hog”, a 4 year old black & white coated domestic short hair cat who has called Woods Humane Society his home since April of 2008. Love Hog is micro chipped, neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and litter box trained. He is a handsomely LARGE cat who easily weighs in over 20 pounds. He is shy when he first meets you, but is very affectionate and loves to be petted and scratched under his chin.

However, he doesn’t seem to like dogs very much but gets along great with other cats. Love Hog is our resident lounge lizard! He can often be found curled up napping a basket on our outdoor “Catio” and would do best as an indoor/outdoor feline addition to your family.
