A male cat named Xavier needs to find a home or rescue ASAP. The woman he’s staying with has a small baby and doesn’t have time to care for the kitty. If a home or rescue isn’t found soon, she plans to list him on Freecycle.
She said Xavier is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines, loves attention and uses the litter box.

Querry said there was still a bit more back at the office. “I probably have about 500 pounds,” she said.
The donations included treats, food, cleaning supplies — a little bit of everything, including food for horses and chickens.
There to help unload and store the donations were ARF volunteers Frank and Dee Smith.
After unloading the donations, the group discussed ARF, the economy and rescuing animals.

Although it’s been around for quite a while, many people have never heard of the Animal Rescue Food Bank, also known as ARF.
Barry and Carla Haynes of Warrington Township founded Animal Rescue Food Bank approximately 20 years ago. ARF supplies food, toys, treats and more to homeless animals in shelters and rescues.
ARF does not supply food to individual pet owners. “They must be rescues and shelters — it’s all for the homeless animals,” Carla Haynes said.

Starting in June, Patton Veterinary Hospital will offer feline-only hours from 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesdays.
During that time, they will only schedule appointments for cats, so there will be no dogs in the waiting room, which is good if you have a cat that gets extra-nervous around dogs.
Let’s face it, your kitty probably gets stressed enough just being put in a carrier and hauled to the vet’s office in a car; why add to the stress by sitting in a waiting room full of dogs that are barking, etc.?
Patton Vet Hospital will further make your cats comfortable with plush towels, non-slip mats and Feliway — maybe even some relaxing mood music!
But don’t worry — if your dog needs emergency care during those hours, the doctors will still be available for those situations.
Find out more online at http://www.pattonvethospital.com. To schedule a feline-only appointment, call 717-246-3611.
Stop by Sawyers, 210 N. Second St., Harrisburg, PA, through Friday to watch local artists turn plain doghouses into works of art during the Dog Days of Summer Doghouse Painting Competition.
The finished doghouses will be on display at Artsfest this weekend, and you can help choose the winners. Proceeds benefit Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance.

Rather than trying to sort through tons of tweets and Facebook posts and pages, you can visit this site to browse by breeds, types of pets or rescue facilities. Those who are missing pets can post descriptions, etc., as well as those who have found pets.
Volunteers will also be sorting through the listings on that website to try to match up people with their lost pets.
From the website:
“If you’ve lost your pet, post a notice here. If you’ve found a pet, or you work for a veterinary hospital or shelter that has taken in a pet, please post it here. Feel free to look through both listings and try to find a match yourself–we will also have volunteers working on this page to try to connect people with their pets.
Obviously, if you are affected by these storms you may not be able to take your pet back right away. Don’t worry–foster homes are standing by to care for your pets until you’re back on your feet. Just establish contact so we are able to get in touch with you, and so you can be aware that your pet is OK while you are dealing with other matters.”

These young adult female cats were brought to Heavenly Paws Animal Shelter May 17 after being found in Red Lion. They’re not microchipped and were not wearing collars.
The woman who found them was at Runkles Notary just off South Main Street in Red Lion when these cats meowed and ran up to her. She asked at the closest home and was told a neighbor moved out and left the cats behind.
To be safe, Ann Behrendt of Heavenly Paws is listing the kitties as found cats in case the neighbor was mistaken. If they really were left behind or their owner is not found, they will be available for adoption.
For details, call Ann at 717-495-1727, email ann@heavenlypawsshelter.com or visit www.HeavenlyPawsShelter.com.
