July's Fabulous Feline

Don't let the name Grandpa fool you! This guy may be older in years, but he is plenty young at heart. He has the cutest 1/2 bobbed tail, knows how to make you feel special by paying rapt attention to you, and is more playful than the youngsters ~ Grandpa's got it ALL!

Sound like the cat for you? Call (256)236-1581, email ashelter@bellsouth.net, or visit 1201 Parkwood Drive.

Not the right cat for you? Never fear, we have MANY more. Please visit the shelter or Oxford Exchange PetSmart to find the right cat for you.

1 Way 2 Help: ID Please


Did you know that helping your shelter is as easy as keeping identification on your pets? One out of three pets becomes lost in their lifetime. Fewer than 25% of dogs and less than 2% of cats ever make it back home! Why? Because they don't have any identification, or their information is out-of-date.

Think of how much more space every shelter in America - including ours - would have if lost pets were returned to their families with a simple phone call.

The safest form of identication for your pets is a microchip. 52% of microchipped dogs make it home, as do 38% of microchipped cats. (Even microchipped pets don't make it home if their chip is not registered or their information is out of date.) The Animal Shelter will microchip your pet, including lifetime registration, for a $20 donation - that's TWO ways to help!



Please help yourselves, your pets, and us by making certain your pet is wearing current ID.

The Animal Shelter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Anniston, AL. We rely on donations and volunteers. Please visit http://theanimalshelter.net/ to help!
