February's Fabulous Feline

SKINNY MINNIE has been at the shelter far longer than she deserves! One of the first cats photographed back in June 2010, the reason for her name was clear - she was practically transparant! She was also quite the talker, demanding attention!




Minnie is not quite as Skinny now - only thin as a rail ;) (She's not anorexic, she's just born that way!). And she's not nearly as chatty. But she is still as wanting and deserving of attention! She is a sweetheart who is careful with her claws and does well with the other cats. Its time for her home!

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.

Caught on Film!


Crisp weather doesn't mean hiding indoors for dogs - it means playtime! Check out these videos of our young dogs having a good time!

 1 Way 2 Help: Got Linens?

Everybody likes to snuggle up in something soft! Many places like Goodwill won't take old linens, but we sure will! We can be creative, too. Sheets, pillow cases, towels, wash cloths, place mats, baby blankets, small throw rugs and toilet seat covers, etc. ~ anything cloth that can be laid flat in a kennel to make comfortable bedding! These goods lead a hard, short life with frequent washings in hot water and bleach, and of course sometimes the pups are just in the mood to chew and tear. So we can always use more!

Newspaper is also always in demand! You don't have to think big or spend much to provide our pets with some love and comfort.
