J.Miller Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I think that I read somewhere that the last day that Anita's Shelter would be open was the thirty first of July. Does anyone know if this is true and if so did all of the dogs and cats get homes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Anita's shelter is only 'open' at this point for the adoption of cats. The [ organized ] plan for closing Anita's shelter was in 'stages', per se. The first stage focus was the dogs - updating health records, vaccinations , sterilizations, etc.. Several dogs were adopted prior to July 31st. A shelter was found that would accept the dogs, and they were transferred on Monday July 31st. They were sent with dog food and a sum of money to help with the expense for their care at the new shelter until adoption . There are a few dogs, [ ?? 5 or 6 ] at the shelter still that are in the process of being treated [ by a Vet ] for conditions that did not allow them to be transferred with the other dogs. The second 'stage' focus is finding a place for the cats. Despite the flying rumors, that always seem to occur, the cats will not be killed. In the meantime, if you are interested in adopting a cat, the shelter is open for cats adoptions. Please call to make sure a responsible person , who can authorize an adoption is at the shelter when you want to visit. Staff / workers can not authorize any adoptions. The phone number is: [ 01 387 ] 761 0500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thanks Jackie for the update. Any idea about how many cats are left? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Cat Lovers step up and help find good homes for these kitties. They are NOT feral, only unsocialized. They are litter box trained but most will have poor house manners. Think of them as a work in progress. If you Google 'unsocialized cat' there are dozens of good articles. There are good suggestions about introducing a new cat into your household elsewhere on this Board as well. Husband and I are both allergic or we would take one ourselves. Instead I have sent out emails to dozens of friends and acquaintances. If we all did this, the problem would be solved. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 There have been several cat adoptions in the last few weeks , including a 'guy' , now named "Tuffy" who had been with Anita for a few years. He now lives in California, with his Mexican lady cat friend also from Anita's when she was adopted a few years ago. They are both bilingual and having a good time together in their home. I believe at this time there are 45 cats left for adoption. Again, in case it was not read in my previous post.. these cats will remain at the shelter, and not killed . They will be individually examined by a Vet, records updated re vaccinations, sterilizations, etc.. like the dogs were processed.. and a place will be found for them .

Guiness Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Where were the dogs taken? What shelter? If you can please give this information, we'd all like to know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Doris was given legal authority by Anita S. [ in Germany] to act on her behalf in regard to the care of the animals and all matters for the shelter. This was a monumental undertaking to assume, which was compounded by the H-of-a-mess left behind by the TT upon their departure. What took Anita almost two decades to build, was disassembled in about three weeks. Dr H. Ladron was very instrumental and offered very helpful support and guidance to Doris in finding a new shelter for the remaining un-adopted dogs. A thorough process was followed prior to their transfer, again with the help of Vet H. Lardon. The dogs were moved to FRIDA A.C. shelter in Tlajamulco . A reminder: cats are still available for adoption, while a search goes on for a new place for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
