Barn Cats

June 7, 2011

Barn-Cat-2.10-714218

CVHS needs homes for special cats! There are some cats that come to CVHS that would do best in a home that provides the freedom of the outdoors as well as shelter, food, water, and regular vet care.
Barn cats can range from Special Needs cats with behavioral issues (mild to moderate aggression, etc.) to cats born and raised outdoors with limited human contact. We get cats of all kinds so let us know if you have room in your life to offer a safe and comfortable home to one or more of our kitties.

Meet Your Match

mym_logo_2009

You could be gazing at the animal of your dreams, but you just can’t tell what she’s thinking behind that furry face. What if you knew a little something about her personality and habits before you moved in together? The Meet Your Match™ program wouldn’t let you go home without knowing who’s in that carrier or on that leash. MYM is the only method in existence today that evaluates an animal’s behavior and interests and matches them to an adopter’s preferences so that you take home a pet you can really click with. Meet Your Match™ is a program of ASPCA. Read more about the Canine-alities and Feline-alities!
