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!
