Alexandria, VA: 4 Cats Have Until Tuesday to Get Help!

Hello,

Sorry I've been busily out and about looking for places. It's been pretty exhausting. I've had no luck. I'm still trying to search. I was wondering if you knew of any rescues that may be able to help? I would be able to pay a fee, etc. I'm starting to worry because I haven't gotten any response.

I have tried contacting so many rescues. Currently I'm in a situation where I have lost my apartment, and I am living out of motels. I currently have 4 cats that I am looking for homes for them. Out of all, Charlie is the deaf one. I have no family or friends to help, and my absolute last resort would be taking them to a shelter where they would likely be euthanized because of kitten season. I have grown exhausted of looking for options and it has really taken a mental toll on me, and I was wondering if your organization could help or at least point me into the right direction of any rescues or organizations. I've tried other organizations, and a lot of the cat rescues around my area to no avail. Even if it's temporary shelter for them until I can get back on my feet. If there's any program you know of, or any organization that could help, I would be so grateful. Thank you for any help or advice you could assist me with. I am in the Northern Virginia area. I can be reached at craysoar@gmail.com

Frenchtown, NJ: Dalmatian Mix Pup Needs a Home

OMG LOOK AT THIS FACE. CARLY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME! PLEASE CROSSPOST FOR HER!

Contact: cbutkiehome@gmail.com or 908-625-6358

Hi Everyone - please cross post for me. Nobody is interested in Carly and I need your help. Carly is the sweetest most lovable little girl that I have ever had. I think I let her down by labeling her a dalmation mix. She acts nothing like a dalmation. On top of that, she is deaf. At first you won't know it because she does everything right. She just doesn't respond to her name. She is housebroken and crate trained. I am teaching her hand signs. She is playful and gets along with all dogs. She is even good with cats. She loves everybody she meets. She is not skittish at all. It appears that she was born deaf so nothing startles her even when woken up from sleeping. She loves to sit with you on the couch or take a walk. She is low energy. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

Thanks

Charlotte, NC: Deaf Cat and Mate Look for a Home

The owner passed away unexpectedly at the age of 37 in the past two weeks. They are now with the aunt, who is trying to get help to find them another home. Please help! Sweetie is 10 years old (deaf, declawed) and Tiger is 5 years old (hearing, declawed). They have been together two years and are pretty close. It would be best for them to be adopted together. The aunt's name is Carolyn and she can be reached at 704-435-8127 or her cell ph# at 980-522-0875 if you can adopt or rescue. If you cannot help please help us to contact someone who maybe can. Thank you.

Bulloch Co, GA: White German Shepherd Pup Mix Needs Help

To whom it may concern:

I am contacting you on behalf of the Humane Society of Statesboro and Bulloch County. We have a rescue dog (Gypsy) who is deaf and so has been hard for us to place. Also, as we have no fosters who are knowledgeable in training deaf dogs we are at a disadvantage in training her and thus placing her successfully. If you either have room for her in your rescue or advice/help for us in placing her in a forever home successfully we would appreciate the help. She is on our website at statesborohumane.org or you can see her at petfinder.com-zip code 30458 at http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/22449851. We do appreciate any help with her as she is a sweetheart and very friendly, but seems to be having problems at her foster home due to chewing. I do not know if this is related to her deafness and therefore her need for increased sensory input. I am concerned we are concentrating on her deafness, but this is probably due to our lack of knowledge of this disability. She is completely vetted and spayed.  Thank you for any help you are able to give us.

Loudon, TN: Deaf Cat in Danger and Needs Help!

Below is what the shelter and another person have to say about this cat. Simba has until tomorrow to get out of danger. Please, if there is a cat savvy person who can work with him, do not hesitate to get in touch with the shelter.


Simba is an orange male Tabby, 4 years old and neutered.  The poor boy is deaf and needs a home where he feels safe. He is at a High Kill shelter in Loudon County, TN and scared to death. The staff can't deal with him because he is so frightened. Any help would be greatly appreciated to help this Special Needs kitty find a home. 


April said he is so scared that he is growling and trying to bite them and scratch the staff. They are giving him the weekend to try and calm down. I feel that if he doesn't by Monday, they will be putting him down. She didn't say that, but we know the drill. He needs a foster or adoptive home to work with him to calm down. He does not get along with dogs AT ALL. Please send an email to either kimberly.goodson@yahoo.com or loudoncountyfoa@yahoo.com. Time is of essence!

West Hollywood, CA: Pit Bull Mix Abandoned

My name is Cherie; I work as the Adoption Coordinator and Receptionist at an emergency animal hospital located in West Hollywood. I'm just hoping the more people hear about June the better her chances are. So here is Junes story and maybe you could share it and help me help her find a home:

Every once in a while a stray dog or cat in need of veterinary care is abandoned at our office and we are happy to help out. We do our best to find them homes but on occasion it can be very difficult. One such case is a 2 year old Pit-American Bulldog mix. She arrived at the hospital extremely painful: we thought she may have been hit by a car. After x-rays showing no broken bones we treated her to the best of our ability and within days she made what we considered a miraculous recovery. Being very clever, we named her June, as that was the month
she arrived at our doorstep.

Shortly after she arrived we came to the conclusion that she was hearing impaired (almost completely deaf). I am writing to plead for help in finding June a permanent home or even a rescue to take her in. She currently spends up to 22 hours a day in a kennel due to the fact that our hospital lacks the staff and space to spend the much needed time with her.

June is clearly a special needs dog and needs an owner who will help her with the patience and training she needs. June is not dog aggressive but she has met very few dogs and should be considered a caution with other pets until she has been properly socialized. She would likely do best in a home with no other animals until she gets further training.

She is so energetic and gets a bit of cabin fever in her kennel, she loves to play but can be a little rough at times. I am desperate to avoid the hospital management sending her to the shelter so I am reaching out to organizations like yours. It is my deepest wish to find her a place with people who will love her and give her the attention she so much deserves.

Thank you for reading June’s Story please feel free to share it with your friends and if you can help me find her a home I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Cherie Ederer
