I was surprised about the amount of animals that have found homes between one of my visits and the next visit. One thing I have noticed about the dogs though is that the pitbulls have stayed there the longest. If I were to give a rough estimate of how many new cats came into Room CA I would say that roughly 15 new cats were there from the last time I visited. Some of the ones that didn't leave were the older ones or the ones that were more timid and less vocal then the other cats in the room. I honestly thought that the animals would stay at the shelter longer then they do. When at the shelter I try to go through and find the animals that were there the last time I was and even if I don't photograph them I still enjoy giving them attention while I am there. I can't explain the amount of enjoyment I get when I see that some of the animals I visited with the previous time have gone home and now have a family to give them the attetion they need and deserve. Each time I leave there are always at least 3 pets I wish I could just take home with me.
This is a new photo of Colenel Whiskas.
I feel that 3 things that may make him less adoptable is his age, his size, and how friendly he is. Whiskas is an older cat, and because of his age sometimes he can seem to be grumpy.

I noticed all the pit bulls too and it made me sad. I wish I knew a way to be pro-active about reducing the number of pit bulls that end up at the shelter. I mean that is a positive way. How do we prevent them from being bred for aggressiveness and fighting? They are all I thought about when I watched the video about breeding aggression out of foxes. No animal should be bred for aggressiveness. And there has to be a way to eliminate puppy mills.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting comment. I don't have a solution, but you are asking a great question!
DeleteGreat re-photograph! The vignette works well.
