Deaf Cat Awaits for a New Home in FL!

What's up there?!

She just turned 1. Currently, she is in Florida in care of someone as a favor until she is spayed and vaccinated before she is up for adoption. She gets along with other cats as she is temporarily living with another deaf cat. She is a loving and sweet cat who enjoys to be in the company of others. While the preference is for her to go to a home locally in FL, other neighboring states or on the Northeast side would be considered as long as it will go to the best home that's a good match for her. Those who are interested to adopt her would need to be prepared for a vet reference, home visit, adoption fee and sign a contract. Interested parties, contact deafanimalrow@gmail.com.

A Beautiful Story About a Deaf Pit Bull!

Gunther

This is about how the relationship between a rescuer and Gunther was formed. Pit Bulls make up the most in shelters across the nation with misperceptions and stereotypes against them. And then you add deafness to the breed, which makes it a double whammy. They are very loving dogs. More about Gunther and the rescuer, go to:

Home Needed for Deaf Lab/Pit Mix in NY

Adopt Kyrpto

From a FIDO Member

I've been involved with Animal Haven Shelter for over a year now. This former no-kill shelter has changed it's mission and policies to be a limited-intake adoption center with the possibility of humane euthanasia for many animals. What it boils down to is there are many innocent cats and dogs whose lives are now at risk- simply due to restructuring.

In particular, there's a dog named Krypto who needs to be placed as soon as possible. Krypto is a 3 year old Lab-Pit mix, and he is deaf. He's a very loyal companion, who's happy to show off sit and is really looking for someone to guide him. He gets along with other dogs, and anyone he meets, and he is also mostly housebroken. Because he is deaf, he will need someone who can learn to be his guide and help him when he gets scared. See his pix:

Additionally, there are over 100 cats and other dogs who are at risk and in need of a home.

If you or anyone you know might be able to help in placing these pets, please get in touch with me as soon as possible.
