As Susan and I have on past trips, we found some time to visit the furry critters in need of a new home. Again the shelter staff and volunteers were glad to see us and we very much enjoyed spending time socializing with the kittens and cats. The shelter store looks fantastic and is full of toys for all type and size pets. Here are a few pictures from our visits:

Here is one of the cutest kittens at the shelter, if it hasn't been adopted yet it's a shame!

I think she is sweet as well! Working so hard for the shelter does indeed build up a sweat! Pat as for your adopted cat, she seems to have adopted everyone here as well. She walked into my office this AM with a "feed me" look on her face. Peggy was here to take charge.

Michael, did you adopt a cat for the store???? If you did, thank you

Michael, yes sweet, my typing/spelling is poor. Favor - could you ask Peggy to send me a PM on this as I do not have her email.

Thank you all for all the support both personally (I am sweet and sweat!!) and for the shelter....we can't do what we do without your support. I had posted this list in another thread but think that it might have been a little too buried in the other shelter threads, so here it is again. We are sold out of the following stuff and every time we get some it flies out the door:

Sorry..is she still at the shelter?
|
By April (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #298) on Friday, December 19, 2008 - 11:17 pm: |
Is that Fiona the cat? I always wonder what happened to her. She really caught my attention when I was there in May 2008.
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #154) on Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 10:48 am: |
That is Charley, and yes,she still is with us. Would you like to take her home, Meryl?
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5593) on Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 3:37 pm: |
Yes please...can you send her?!!! Carole? I know your on island...want to bring back something fluffy?
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5594) on Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 3:39 pm: |
Do you guys remember me and my friend Liz that came by with all the goodies for the shelter in September? My friend Liz bought a license plate (it was her birthday) and a shelter tee? We talked to you about the bird at Buddy's?
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #155) on Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 8:32 pm: |
Yes, Meryl, I DO remember you...we were looking for a good number for the plate right? Would be great if we could send Charley home to you with someone that is going your way. She has been with us for quite some time and is really a very wonderful, sweet, affectionate cat...about a year old. She is a favorite of all the volunteers and staff. Don't you need a vacation???Come on down and get her!
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5596) on Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 8:55 pm: |
yep...that was us..
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5597) on Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 9:14 pm: |
and yes Jane we DO need a vacation...we just can't take one yet...poo!
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5598) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 11:16 am: |
The above post means "I" would pay for the costs of her transportation,shots, travel case etc. Plus drive and pick her up. NY, NJ, PA, DE.
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #156) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 1:48 pm: |
Would be great if someone can get her to you. We've got that weekly flight to Newark so maybe someone is going back that way in the near future that would be willing to put Charley under their seat. The fluffy white cat (Gizmo)didn't go home that day, but a wonderful young man who loves cats convinced his mom that Gizmo should be his and he is now being cuddled every day in his new home.
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5599) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 2:57 pm: |
Wow thats great about Gizmo. What would be the cost of the carrier, shelter fee and transportation to the states? Do you know?
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5600) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 3:24 pm: |
Airlines is 150 one way. What is cost of carrier and shots an papers?
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #157) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 3:41 pm: |
Adoption fee is 75 Naf (about $43 USD), that includes her regular shots. She will also need a rabies shot and health certificate from a local vet, I'm not sure about the cost of that I can check tomorrow with the vet, I don't think it will be more than $30 USD. We have a very nice airline approved soft-sided cat carrier for sale in the gift shop at the shelter, not sure of the price I can check that tomorrow too. Is airline fee really that high for a carry on pet? I thought it was only about 50 or 75 US one way if they ride under your seat. It's been a long, long time since I checked so it may have gone up that much. I'll get the info for you tomorrow and post, unless Monique is lurking out there and can give us the answers now!

By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5601) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 5:32 pm: |
Thanks..yes that is what is on Delta's site. But I would appreciate it if you can give me the other #'s.
|
By Jim and Jane Madden (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #158) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 5:50 pm: |
Stars and planets have been beautiful lately...so maybe it will happen! Check with Continental about flight to Newark...anybody out there going to Newark soon? About the vet, you've got mail.

By Josie (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1374) on Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 11:10 pm: |
We'll be coming back from BON through JFK, but not until almost end of Feb. If there's still the need, I'm sure we could handle it for you.
