Way to go, City of Calgary Animal Shelter! Kathleen Dickson, shelter team lead of Animal Services, told Global News, "In total, we've adopted out 67 cats so far. Yesterday alone we adopted out 44… It was a constant stream of citizens coming into Animal Services both yesterday and today, trying to support us and adopt a cat. It was phenomenal."
Most everyone knows Spring is kitten season, and with that shelters are using overcrowded with cats looking for their furever home. The City of Calgary Animal Shelter sent out an urgent call and the city responded.

Welcome to Chicago's Catcade! The Catcade, according to their Instagram is, "45% cat cafe. 45% cat rescue. 5% arcade. 3% cat hair. 2% black t-shirts. 100% non-profit = 200% the best hour in Chicago. Cats > math." And 100% pawesome. The Catcade is the coolest arcade around because it is an "arcade-themed" cat rescue, and lounge. Creators of the Catcade, Christopher Gutierrez and Shelly Casey, orchestrated an environment where the cats can roam-free and interact with humans, instead of being locked up in cages. We simulate a home environment where instead of being in cages, the cats get to interact with friendly humans in a free-roam living room atmosphere.
Pusha is a cat who lives in a park in Bakhchisaray, Crimea. She came across four young squirrels who'd lost their parents, and rather than going back to her usual cat business or pushing them away like they were pesky mice, she decided to look after them. See? Cats are wonderful.
These young ladies are incredible! Ella, 10-years-old, and her younger sister Erin, 6-years-old, volunteer weekly at Robyn's Nest Animal Rescue in Germantown, Ohio.
Their mother Emily had this to say about her extraordinary daughters, "my daughters are constantly thinking of ideas to help raise money since the shelter is pretty small (currently 10 cats, 3 dogs (plus 1 in foster who just had 13 babies), 2 guinea pigs). Ella, my 10-year-old, orchestrated a shoe drive in her classroom as the shelter collects shoes for a non-profit, and once they get a certain amount, the non-profit makes a donation. She also started making homemade slime to sell on Etsy to raise money (ebslimeshoppe)."
When a tiny tornado ripped through their little town last year it completely damaging their animal shelter. Thankfully, all the animals were safe but all needed fostering. When the shelter re-opened and supplies arrived, the young girls helped sort through the containers and helped set the shelter back up!
Then they came up with a beautiful idea to create a haiku ebook, all about cats. The e-book can be found here on Amazon, and all proceeds go towards Robyn's Nest Animal Rescue.
Thank you, Emily, Ella & Erin, for all that you do for the animal community!
All animals pictured below are available for adoption at the Robyn's Nest Animal Rescue:
This story is a tear-jerker, make sure you have that tissue box near and ready! The owner of two beautiful 16-year-old Birman cats was forced to accept the fact that she will be moving into a nursing home and would not be able to bring her beloved cats with her. The most difficult part of making this decision was because she was worried about her loves and to make matters worse, her family was unable, and unwilling, to take the cats in. She was left with one choice, return them to the shelter.

Need a date for Valentine's Day? How about a furr-ever love instead? In Lithuania, animal lovers have created an app, GetPet, inspired by the popular dating app Tinder. GetPet is like Tinder but for dogs in the shelter in need of a furr-ever home. Vaidas Gecevicius, one of the app's creators, takes about how when swiping right on the picture of the dog that melts your heart, "you can arrange a meeting with the dog — a date." Some of the app's features are similar to that of Tinder's, profile pics of the pup and if you scroll down, the information about each pup is revealed. You can also continue swiping left and a new profile will appear. The app currently just features dogs but they hope to add more pets soon! Read all about it at AP News!
