(Overdue) Adoption Update 12/30/10

OK, we're wa-a-a-ay overdue for a kitty adoption update. We're very proud to announce that we've had 32 cat adoptions from our store so far! The fuzzy polydactyl brothers Carl, Abe, and Bogey all found loving homes, as did our clownish tuxedo, Otis. Our sweet, jet-black girl Midnight was snatched up by a volunteer at Save the Pets. Orange-and-white O'Malley enjoyed the privilege of patrolling the store during his stay with us. He made a lot of human friends that way, and one longtime admirer fell in love with him and took him home. Our sweet and loving tuxedo called Boots found a great home with a couple of veteran cat owners; it was love at first sight for all of them when he climbed into their arms and started licking their chins! Finally, we're thrilled that our latest bonded littermates found forever homes together: Brothers Aaron (white and black patched) and Bosley (all black) will continue to play and cuddle together in their new home--when they're not too busy playing and cuddling with their new owners! Also, tuxedo siblings Dottie and Blaze found a great new family and a home with room for both of them. Of course, we miss all the great cats that we've sheltered, but the goal is to help them find forever homes with humans who will love them as much as we do. We LOVE hearing updates about them from their new families, and they all sound like they're doing great! Let's all continue to work together to help stop pet homelessness in our town.

On that note, we have some new cats who are looking for people to love. Come meet tuxedo Tom and his equally well-dressed sister Snip. They're 8 months old, vet checked, and ready to go. We also have pretty gray Misty; she's the mother of Dottie and Blaze, who were just adopted from us! Of course, she is now spayed and vaccinated, and she's looking for someone special to give her belly rubs.

This stuff really works!

We carry two lines of cleaning products here at Nature's Pet. Most people are familiar with Nature's Miracle, which uses enzymes to break down pet stains very effectively. But there's another company called Unique that has its own line of pet cleaning products. Unique cleaners use a combination of enzymes and beneficial microbes to remove stains. Two of our store workers have used it on some tough laundry stains, and it really works, even without rinsing! It comes in several sizes and formulas; some are ready-to-use, and others are concentrated. (The concentrated formula gives you more bang for your buck, of course, but it does have a shorter shelf life because the helpful microbes it contains run out of food and die off more quickly.) So even though this product isn't as well-known yet, we've been very impressed by it. If your tough stains have been giving you a hard time, give this great product a try! Still skeptical? We carry a trial size bottle of concentrated Unique for only $3.99.

Adoption News

Great news! Tortoiseshell sisters Millie and Ellie were adopted together, bringing the total number of cats adopted from our store to 17! (These two had actually just been rotated back to the Save the Pets shelter at Gateway Mall the previous day, but we're including them in our count because thier new owners first found them here.) They love each other so much, so we're very happy that they get to stay together for life. Congratulations to the kitties and their new owners, and good luck!

Adoption Update

Our tiny black kitten Baby found the perfect forever home! She was adopted into a house with two other all-black cats, Esmerelda and Ezekiel ("Zeke" for short), and renamed Cleopatra ("Cleo"). As her new name suggests, she is now living like a queen; we wish her all the best with her new family.

We have new kittens! Come meet Carl, Abe, and Bogey, three brothers with extra fuzz; Abe and Bogey even have extra toes! They're playful 3-month-old babies who are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, vet checked, and all ready for adoption.

We are also sheltering an adult cat called O'Malley (named after a character in The Aristocats). He's a big cat with a big, sweet personality. He's enjoying the good life (and the good food) after a tough kittenhood on the streets, but he would be grateful for a forever home.

Millie, Ellie, and Otis were rotated back to the Save the Pets shelter at Gateway Mall in Springfield after staying with us for about a month. They all have such incredible personalities, we can't believe that they haven't been snatched up yet! Millie and Ellie are two dilute tortoiseshell sisters. Millie likes to ride on shoulders, and Ellie likes to lick fingers; how cute is that?! Otis is a goreous tuxedo with a clownish personality; he loves to play with toys and run through tunnels. So drop by Gateway Mall and say hi to them, or, if you miss them as much as we do, take them home for keeps!

New Products

Delivery day at the store has brought many fun new products. We are now carrying Lupine dog and cat collars. In addition to being cute they also come with a lifetime replacement guarentee which even covers chewing! Critter Beds has brought us a fine variety of cushy and luxurious crate pads, dog beds and cuddle cubes. They are made locally and machine washable. They come in a variety of bright cotton prints backed or lined in sherpa or plush fabric. Another local favourite is Terapin Catnip. It is 100% organic and grown in Junction City. Choose between "bud" and "flower tops" and watch your cat have so much fun it's almost criminal.

Kitty Update

Daisy found a home on Wednesday bringing our total to 14 cats adopted through the store. While we miss Daisy we are now enjoying the company of 2 new kittens. Millie and Ellie are lovely dilute tortie sisters who have very exotic oriental short hair type features and beautiful green eyes. Adoption fees are reduced for adopters looking to double the fun and adopt 2!

New Kitties!

Nature's Pet Eugene now has 3 beautiful kittens from Save the Pets Rescue. Daisy, Baby and Otis are ready to go home with their forever families.
Daisy is a super soft torti with a white blaze and feet. She is playful, sweet and ready to have her own collection of toys. She is about 6 mo. old.
Baby is a charming little black girl kitty. She likes other cats, being held, and dozing in her cat tree. She is about 4 mo. old.
Otis is a sophisticated tuxedo cat who enjoys the company of people and other cats. He loves to watch the people walk by. He is about 5 mo. old.
All three kitties have been spayed/neutered, micro chipped, vaccinated, and health checked by a vet. They have been tested negative for FIV/FELV and treated for fleas, mites, and worms.
Thinking about adding a cat (or a second, or third, or ....) to your family? Please stop by the store and meet these lovely little guys.

New RC Dog Jackets

While we may not be ready to bid goodbye to summer quite yet we can get ready for a little late summer liquid sunshine with RC Pet's fun and colorful rain ponchos! In orchid pink, sunshine yellow, aqua blue and crimson red these little rain slickers are visible for evening walks and so cheerful. Ellie, the store mascot, has already picked hers out!

Also from RC pets comes the Double Diamond jacket. In mac red, spring green, and purple these jackets feature a reflective piping, sporty 2-tone colors, waterproof shell, fleece lining and easy on design. Need something a little lighter weight? The Double Diamond jacket comes in snugly fleece with many of the same fantastic features. The fleeces will be available in red and blue.

SALE

We are having a few great specials here in the store this week.
Canine Caviar is $5 off a 14lb. or larger bag.
Earthborn Primitive Natural is $10 off a 28 lb. bag.
As usual we offer 10% off your next purchase when your total reaches $50 or more.
Canned cat and dog foods are 5% off when you buy a case (12 or more). You may mix and match brands and flavors!

10!

We are pleased to add that just 2 days after our last post Moe found himself a fantastic home. That brings us up to 10! He is a wonderful little guy who is sure to bring much happiness to his family. There are still 3 charming kittens at the store. Their adoption includes spay/neuter, micro chip, vaccines, flea treatment and health testing.
Kittens are undeniably cute but perhaps a more mature feline is the companion you have been waiting for. Adult cats are generally more relaxed, easier on your furniture and have more developed personalities which allows you to find the perfect fit for your family. If you are interested in adopting a young adult, mature kitty or even a senior citizen please contact The Cat's Pajamas to meet some incredible cats- many of whom have been waiting for years for that special person.

Kitty Adoptions

Nature's Pet Market in Eugene, in partnership with The Cat's Pajamas Rescue, has helped find homes for 9 rescue cats since opening in June. We have a rare opportunity to give rescue cats and kittens the exposure they need to find their forever families and are thrilled by the response we have received from local animal lovers.
The shop plays host to 2-4 rescue cats at a time with additional cats available to fall in love with on most Friday evenings when The Cat's Pajamas joins us for live music at Woodfield Station. The Cat's Pajamas is a no-kill shelter that provides a safe haven for cats and kittens while they await adoption.
We have 4 new lovely little kittens that are staying with us at the store. Come on down and meet them!
