URGENT: Foster Home Needed for Four Friendly Kittens!

CCLAS is looking for a short-term foster for this litter of four older kittens (approximately 12-14 weeks old). These guys are very friendly, but they are sneezing and have goopy eyes! They will need to be on antibiotics for 10 to 14 days before they can be spayed/neutered and put up for adoption. Must be kept isolated from any household pets.

We are hoping to get them into a home before the 4th of July Holiday on Friday! Please contact us at cclaspets@gmail.com if you can help.

Patrick "Post-Op"erative

Patrick's surgery went well on Tuesday, but due to the bad weather, we opted to have him stay an extra night at the Lakewood Animal Hospital. Hugs to his supporters!

Wednesday evening at LAH

His foster mom could still use donations of clean used sheets, soft bath towels and washcloths. These donations can be left at the Lakewood Animal Hospital or Lakewood Animal Shelter for Patrick.

Update on Patrick, frostbitten cat

We’re overwhelmed by the kindness and concern of animal supporters in our community regarding Patrick’s condition.

Friday, Feb 21 at the Lakewood Animal Shelter, a few hours after his rescue

In case you missed his TV debut, here are some links to his media coverage:

Also we're grateful to receive daily updates from his foster, here’s the latest on his condition and spirit: 

Patrick won the hearts of all the reporters and cameramen on Tuesday. We’re so appreciate that all of the stations covered his story and for the attention they brought to seriousness of frostbite with our four-legged friends.

After the interviews, he was really worn out, but on Wednesday he was acting like a toddler according to his foster. He was always into something or wanting her undivided attention.

We also recently tested his stool and it came back negative for parasites - which is great news so we can just focus on the frostbite issues.

Please continue to follow his progress on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CCLASpets or our blog at http://cclaspets.blogspot.com.


Thank you.

Donations can be dropped off at the shelter during adoption hours, at Pet's General on Madison Ave., or at the Lakewood Animal Hospital.

Emergency c-section for a mama kitty

On Friday morning, a sweet tabby cat at the shelter went into labour.

Unfortunately the young adult cat was in serious distress, her first kitten became stuck in the birth canal and sadly didn't make it. CCLAS rushed her to West Park Animal, where they performed an emergency c-section, because a second kitty was also stuck and feared dead.

Mama was in a lot of pain, but she and her four kittens survived the surgery. The family of five will be transferred to foster care this week.

Please visit http://www.cclas.info/vetcare.html if you would like to make a donation toward their surgery and post-op expenses. We encourage you to like us on Facebook, to follow along with their care. #1lkwd #sheltercat

Poor Grady

Poor Grady, collar 100, was admitted to Westpark Animal Hospital today, with a lingering URI. He's also dehydrated, thin with conjunctivitis.

Dr. Nicole is hopeful that he'll make a full cover after some TLC medical attention.

Meet Quark, collar 17

Quark (collar #17) is a very beautiful silver tabby young mama cat. After a foray out in the Metroparks, she's quite happy to be back in the care of the shelter. She's has spent the last 6 months in foster care and gets along great with the dogs and cats in her temporary home. While she may appear shy at first, she's made great strides while in foster care and no longer hides when company visits. To learn more about this beauty, email us at CCLASweb@yahoo.com and ask for collar 17.

Adoption fees are always - only $35. The fee includes a deworming treatment, an initial vaccination, flea prevention treatment, a collar with identification tag, a cardboard carrier, and an initial wellness exam with a second vaccination from participating local veterinarians. Adoption hours are Tuesdays & Thursday 12 to 6, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 12-4. Please visit our website at http://www.cclas.info and our blog at http://cclaspets.blogspot.com/

 

"Skinny" Minnie

Sadly, we lost another foster kitty today, "Skinny" Minnie.

She was kindly fostered by a CCLAS supporter for the past month. From what we could tell, Minnie had a rough life from being both ear-tipped and declawed, although we know she spent her last month in a loving home, enjoying the company of her foster's dog, Guinness. She was placed into foster care because she was a malnourished senior cat, weighing only 4lbs, 14oz. She had a nice holiday weekend with her temporary family and had a new furever home lined up. Unfortunately she passed unexpectedly today while the foster was at work. She came home to find her curled up peacefully in her litter box. Feel free to share your gratitude and condolences with Minnie's foster below.

Meet the CCLAS foster kitties

CCLAS has four wonderful foster kitties up for adoption. Like many of our shelter kitties, all of our foster kitties are spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations including rabies, no fleas or ear mites, dewormed, trimmed nails, tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV and have been treated for any minor alignments like upper respiratory disease and parasites. Everyone's healthy and ready for their fur-ever home!

The best part of adopting from one our foster homes we know first hand their personalities and quirks since we've been living with them for months. Everyone is house-trained and uses their litter boxes and scratching post.

Stunning, outgoing! Reese was in foster care nursing a young orphan kitten but she's now up for adoption through CCLAS. She tested NEGATIVE for Feline Leukemia and FIV. VERY playful and outgoing around people. Likes lots of attention. Probably will do well in a household with older kids. Reese loves playing fetch with a paper ball. She'll crawl into bed at night with you and under the blankets if you let her. She's a pro at using her scratching post and we've never had a problem with her scratching at our furniture.


Mystic has been with in foster care since last summer. She's really come out of her shell! She loves people and is very friendly, but she has some anxiety about other animals. She would do very well in a one-pet household. She is already spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Please contact cclasfoster@yahoo.com to meet her!


Olive is a sweet and special kitty. Very friendly, staff favorite at the local animal hospital. She was adopted from the shelter in early September, but her adopted family never took her to see a veterinarian for an initial exam and returned her when she went into "heat" last month. She's now update to date on her vaccines, including rabies, recently placed into foster care to recoup. She tested negative for heartworms, feline leukemia and FIV.


This is Lark! She is available for adoption through CCLAS' Foster Care program. She's a beautiful, female black domestic short hair. Lark is an adult (and a little on the chubby side), who LOVES any attention she can get! Good think her silky soft fur is so easy to pet! Ask for collar #4. She's spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and tested NEGATIVE for Feline Leukemia and FIV. If you are interested in learning more about Ms. Lark, please contact cclasfoster@yahoo.com.

We are anxious to find our foster kitties' their new homes before spring. We would like our foster families to have a break before kitten season starts.
