Animal Haven Accepts Pets From KAHD

On Wednesday, Animal Haven accepted 20 adult cats and 21 kittens from an overcrowded shelter in Kansas. The number of pets in the shelter increased again today when 10 Cocker Spaniel puppies were also transferred to Animal Haven by the Kansas Animal Health Department after being seized from a now defunct breeding facility. All of the cats, kittens and puppies have been assessed by Animal Haven’s medical team, have been vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and many will be available for adoption beginning today, Friday, September 3rd.

Donations of canned cat food are needed to help care for the additional cats and kittens in the shelter and can be dropped off at Animal Haven’s Lost Pet Center, located at 9827 W. 67th Street in Merriam, KS between 11:00am and 7:00pm daily.

Due to this large influx of adult cats, Animal Haven is extending the “Summer Cat-stravaganza” adoption special for an additional week and waiving all adoption fees for adult cats now through September 12, 2010.

Pets Around Town Photo Contest Winners

Congratulations to the winners of Animal Haven’s “Pets Around Town” online photo contest!

Marlon is the beloved 6 year old son of Jenny McIlroy. He is a Cairn Terrier who Jenny adopted through Colonel Potter Cairn Rescue Network 5 years ago. Jenny says Marlon is beautiful and knows it! He uses that beauty to distract Jenny as he gets away with devilish, terrier antics. She says she spends a lot of time exorcising his demons, but she wouldn’t have it any other way!

Molly, daughter of Marsha Harmon, is an Animal Haven alum. Her family says Molly is very smart, quickly graduating from basic obedience training to learn how to speak on command. Her hobbies include chasing rabbits and squirrels, getting belly rubs and sun bathing. She is best friends with her canine sister Zoey!

Animal Haven Accepts 28 Cats From the Kansas Animal Health Dept.

Animal Haven is in need of donations to help care for 28 cats and kittens seized by the State of Kansas Animal Health Department from an elderly woman’s home in Western Kansas. None of the cats had been spayed or neutered by their caretaker so the colony grew quickly. Animal Haven accepted 22 adult cats and 6 kittens, several of which have injuries and need significant medical attention before they are ready for adoption. Monetary donations are needed to help us care for these cats, as well as the other 220 homeless animals at Animal Haven. You can donate online or donations can be dropped off at our Adoption Center located at 9800 W. 67th Street in Merriam, KS between 12:00pm and 8:00pm Wednesday through Friday, and 10:00am – 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday.
