Has Anita's closed?


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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 .

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.
