Kirpatrick

I'm sort of medium size and my parents most likely were Cattle dog and Boston Terrier types.See what a goof I am. I love to play and to cuddle. I was born in Sept of 2006

Ebony
I'm Ebony, and as my name suggests, I'm solid black. I'm a little bit shy at first, but it doesn't take me long to want to play and be loved. Honest they really aren't choking me I just didn't want my photo taken as I hadn't combed my hair yet.

Help is needed
Representitives from Friends for Animals will be heading to Washington DC in July and need your support. Please help and show your approval for legislation that would make the fines for dog fighting and animal cruelty stronger. If you could stop in at the shelter and sign the endorsement form that will be available there, send your own special letter to the shelter address at P.O. Box 1884, Morganton, NC  28680 or send a e-mail message to pegdemarco@earthlink.net  This would be a huge help to us in showing that North Carolina cares about its animals

We are under a deadline of JULY 16  so we hope you will take action right away to help us

Volunteers take a break

Baby Girl

is a gentle lady born in November of 2002. She lived her life with an elderly woman, but her owner can no longer care for her. Baby Girl suffered an eye infection as a kitten and may have some vision loss in both eyes. She must be an indoor only kitty. She sees well enough to get around, but may be in danger outdoors. Baby Girl has never been with children and should not go to a home with small ones. She would be fine with older children who know how to treat cats. She is alright with other cats, and would like to be adopted with her friend Pasqual, who she has lived her entire life with.
