We can't believe this handsome little dilute calico is still in the cat condos looking for a home! With good looks, good behavior, a friendly demeanor, just the right amount of playfulness, and a desire to be held (and a nice medium size just right for holding!)...surely this cutie is "the one" for someone!
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.

Fleas and Ticks and Mosquitoes, oh my!
Spring temperatures have made an early appearance in the Southeast, and with them come spring pests! More than just annoying, these bugs present health risks to our pets:
FLEAS: These little blood drinkers do more than cause an itch. They carry tapeworms, which set up shop in the intestines. Treatment for tapeworms is effecient, but better to not put your pet's system through a worm invasion and treatment. Some dogs are also very allergic to fleas and will suffer hair loss that usually starts in the hindquarters. They suffer miserably from the constant itch. A severe flea infestation can cause anemia, especially in puppies/kittens, cats, and small dogs.
TICKS: Ticks carry harmful diseases, including lyme disease and tick ehrlichia.
MOSQUITOES: This pest carries the scariest and deadliest threat to our pets: heartworms. Heartworm disease is tragically common in the Southeast. They infest first the lungs, and eventually the heart of the host, causing a horrible death. Treatment can be dangerous and expensive, moreso as the disease progresses. Symptoms often don't appear until damage has been done. Prevention is simple: a monthly pill (the manufacturers will even send you a monthly email reminder! How simple is that?).
