In light of the excellent report on how wonderfully KGAC has done on finding rescue or adoptive placements for cats this year, I wanted to send you another really great Ursala update - you will recall she was the little feral / semi-feral black kitty who was mostly blind).  Her human Dad, JF, has really been spending time with her and working on socializing her.  Introducing her to his other cats actually went really well - but the human acceptance thing took more time and effort.  I'm happy to report that Ursala will allow herself to be held, will hang out with JF, and accepts pets and snuggles and is purring for him on a near regular basis. She occasionally lets her feral-ness hang out with him, but those episodes are becoming fewer and fewer.  She now has a beautiful coat, her dandruff (likely from nerves) is totally gone, and she's doing really, really well.  :D

I think it's important, when possible, for each of you to see the result of all the effort you put in and stand back and enjoy your success.  I thank you all.

In a sagging economy, families find themselves constantly making choices to lighten their financial load. Unfortunately many times those choices include surrendering pets they can no longer afford to keep. The King George Animal Shelter does its best to rescue and care for these animals while searching for forever homes for them, but limited staffing can present challenges.
