Once the kittens have all been adopted we know adult cat adoptions will increase, but spending months on end in a shelter is not good for any animal!
To get these lovely kitties into a home environment while they await their chance at adoption, Prairie’s Edge Humane Society (PEHS) created the Feline Companion Program. From May to October each year, adoptable adult cats can live in a foster home with a senior citizen who may otherwise not be able to have a cat. The program is designed to give seniors who cannot undertake full time pet ownership the opportunity to temporarily enjoy the company of an adult cat.
The program also gives the adult cat a break from living in the shelter during a time when permanent adoption is unlikely. All participating cats are adults. They are adoptable, spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and healthy. Eligible foster participants must be at least 55 years of age and approved for foster placement according to the guidelines of PEHS.
PEHS will provide food and litter (the foster will need to provide bowls and a lItter box). Basic health care will also be provided by PEHS. The foster senior is required to provide lots of TLC! For more information on this program please contact the shelter at 507-334-7117. You can see all animals available for adoption thru the PEHS by checking our website.
Hey Griff -- I see the last time I edited my post and fixed my “typos” I must not have saved it correctly. It there any way you can fix PEHA, it should be PEHS. I see where I typed (the foster will need to provide bowls and a “letter” box) which should have read “litter” box did not get saved either when I fixed it. Oh well, I will get better at doing these with more practice. If you can fix these that would be great, if not I’m sure people will figure out what I meant! Thanks!
All fixed, Sandy.
June is also Adopt-a-Cat month. Please consider giving a shelter cat a forever home. It is “kitten season” and there are so many cats at the shelter who need homes. PEHS has cats of every shape, size, color and age. We have kittens, young cats and old cats. We have Fat Cats (adult cats who are front declawed). We have special deals on our adoption fees. All of our cats are current on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and waiting for the right folks to come along and take them home! You can see all of our adoptable cats on our website http://www.prairiesedgehumanesociety.org/
