Two AM Mouse Rescue

Around 2 A.M last night I woke suddenly out of a rattled sleep to the high pitched screeching of an animal racing through my house. As groggy as I was at the time, I had enough sense to tell myself that the cats couldn’t have brought any animals into the house because I had closed the door to the cat run before I went to bed. My second thought, as I flung my newly acquired second-hand quilt across the bed, completely covering my dog Elijah in one swoop was, “Will I be able to catch this thing before dawn?” With my Mag Light in hand I jumped out of bed in hot pursuit of the situation.

“Feline Friend-Z” Tue October 27th, 29, 30 and 31, 2009

Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts
announces “Feline Friend-Z”

New non-profit animal shelter extends adoption center hours and offers reduced adoption fees to increase adult cat adoptions Adoption fees will be reduced to $100 for all cats over six months old (a $50 reduction). In addition, all bonded adult pairs (that’s two cats that came to the center together) will also be available at the single adult cat adoption fee of $100.

WHAT: The Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts (APCSM) will be hosting a “Feline Friend-Z”, in an effort to find forever homes for their resident cats and to raise awareness about the newly formed non-profit’s animal shelter. “Feline Friend-Z” will feature reduced adoption fees for adult cats and extended adoption hours while providing an opportunity for the community to visit the shelter, meet the new team and acquaint themselves with the many adult cats that are in the APCSM’s care.

The APCSM is hosting the “Feline Friend-Z” as a means to inform and encourage potential adopters about the benefits of bringing an adult cat into their homes. Often, the playfulness of a kitten overshadows their older felines, but adopting an adult cat allows for a better match of the cat’s personality to the adopters and their lifestyles.
Community members interested in adopting a new friend are encouraged to visit the adoption center and to also visit www.apcsm.org <http://www.apcsm.org/> for more information about the adoption process and available pets.

WHEN: Tuesday October 27th, 4 – 8pm
Thursday October 29th, 2 – 8pm
Friday October 30th, 2 – 4pm
Saturday October 31st, 12 – 4pm

WHERE: Animal Protection Center’s Adoption Center, 1300 West Elm St Ext, Brockton
The Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts (APCSM) is an open admission animal care and adoption facility, with focus on prevention of cruelty to animals, education and helping the community. Each year, over 4,000 animals in the area find themselves with nowhere to turn. The APCSM is committed to providing these homeless animals with humane and compassionate care in their time of need.

Whole Cat Workshop

By Tonia Evans

The Petfinder.com Whole Cat Workshop-The Solution To Cat Overpopulation

On Sunday March 8th, I attended the Whole Cat Workshop, which was coordinated by the Massachusetts Animal Coalition. The workshop was held at the Tufts University of Veterinary Medicine in Grafton, MA

When I woke up that day I knew that it was my opportunity to wear a new t-shirt that I received as a gift-which stated-Crazy Cat Lady, across the front! For a cat person like me, it’s an awesome experience to walk into a conference with hundreds of other cat lovers. The scheduled speakers were very informative, and participants chimed in sharing their tips for cat rescue and care.
