Our adoption news this week is that the year-old tabby and white cat, Oreo, has found her forever home. Congratulations to Oreo and her new family.
This week our pet of the week is Genevieve (formerly Jeff) a one-year-old, spayed tabby cat. She is very playful, loves toys and likes to explore her world. She can be cautious about meeting new people, and may never be a lap cat but would be a wonderful companion for a seasoned cat owner, even though she has lived with other cats and children. Stop in and she if Genevieve could be the cat for you, she’s been spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and ready to go.
We also have a Guinea Pig looking for a home. Cyrus is a black and white female who was found outside. She’s friendly and loves lettuce, cucumbers kale and tangerines. C’mon piggy lovers, come get this girl.
We will be taking a hiatus from the nail clinic for a while. However, the Council on Aging in Oak Bluffs hosts a nail clinic twice a month by appointment only. Call 508-693-4509, ext. 3 and ask for Rose Cogliano.
