These days, the Ark Animal Sanctuary is home to approximately 53 cats. Out of those 53, about 30 of those cats are feral or used to be feral. We have three AIDS cats, two leukemia cats, two diabetic cats, two cats with three legs, but the remaining cats are all healthy cats with no special needs. They are all family and very much loved and well taken care of.
There is always a reason why your cats won’t use their litter box. Cats are very clean animals and it is very hard for them not to use their litter box. This kind of change in your cat’s behavior is usually a sign of emotional origin.
This past month we have received so many phone calls for cats needing help. One such cat is Nick, who was living outside in below zero temperatures. He was being fed by a very kind individual who was really worried about him.
I must be truthful here, I’m not much of a “dog walker.”
Don’t get me wrong; I take my two dogs out all the time and hang with them while they run and play, nose to the ground, scouting the place out.
The first time I met her, I thought I had stabbed her in the back … literally, with a pencil. It was 20 some years ago and we were right in the middle of our annual box lunch project, dozens of individuals gathered at the Congregational Church, work stations set up where groups made and wrapped sandwiches to go in the lunches the next day.
After a long, warm and beautiful fall, we now have winter settling in. With already some below zero nights, we hope that all your furry friends are tucked safely inside, keeping warm and cozy.
The Halfway Home Pet Rescue spay/neuter clinic originally scheduled for this week has been rescheduled due to COVID-19 issues in southern Maine.
We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and is looking forward to the new year. December was a busy month at the Central Aroostook Humane Society with so many people and businesses bringing in much-needed supplies and monetary donations, which help us to take care of the special temporary pets in our care.
About two weeks ago we received a call from our friends at the Central Aroostook Humane Society. They had just taken in eight cats as an owner surrender and one of them was diabetic and they wanted to know if we could help. His name was DC.
It is hard to believe that the New Year is almost upon us. Time sure does fly. March 2022 will mark the start of year two of dealing with COVID-19. It is hard to believe that so much has changed in our everyday life during this pandemic.
