“Liam,” a senior cat at our sanctuary, will have surgery later this month to get a small tumor removed from his neck to prevent serious future health issues – and while under anesthesia he will also undergo a dental procedure. He is expected to fully recover and then be available for adoption. (His brother, “Yossi,” who looks very similar to Liam, is already adoptable.) Happy Tails President Tom Vasko reported that for the second consecutive year, donations to Happy Tails have decreased due to the pandemic, so financial contributions to help with Liam’s upcoming surgery, as well as with considerable ongoing expenses at the sanctuary, would be greatly appreciated. Tax-deductible donations can either be transmitted via PayPal (just follow the link on our website at www.HappyTailsCatSanctuary.org) or a check or money order can be mailed to: Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary, P.O. Box 581, Chesterland, OH 44026. Further details are available by calling or texting Happy Tails volunteer Doreen Lazarus at 440.759-0076 or by sending an email to HappyTailsCatSanctuary@gmail.com. (Mr. Vasko pointed out that there is no “r” in “Tails”!)
Among the adoptable cats at the Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary are two male “jumbo seniors.” They are: Domino, 10, who is black and white and weighs 26-and-a-half pounds; and Tom, 12, who is orange and white and weighs 21-and-a-half pounds. They are neutered and vaccinated, and they tested “negative” for feline leukemia and FIV (an immune deficiency). They are both nice, but Domino is quite outgoing and Tom is shy until he gets to know and trust someone. They can be adopted separately if necessary, but it would be best for them to be adopted together. A nominal adoption fee will be charged. A benefit titled “A Summer Feline Fund Raiser” to help support our non-profit, no-kill, mostly cage-less sanctuary will be held on Saturday, July 17, at the VFW Hall, 752 Water St. (Route 6) in Chardon. To schedule an appointment to meet Domino and Tom, or to ask questions about them or the fund raiser, call or text Doreen at 440.759-0076.
