We think we may be winning the feral kittens over. This was what we walked into this morning while bringing breakfast. They didn't run or hide from us, no hissing when approached, they just laid there and batted their beautiful eyes. PROGRESS! These two little girls are not yet available for adoption, we are working with them everyday to help them become more socialized and trusting of humans and this photo shows it's working. When they do become available we will post them individually with their full bios and more photos.

You asked for a more in-depth look inside of our little shelter. This is a quick peek at our Receiving Room Here. You can see everyone is up and singing for breakfast. This is one of our five dedicated cat rooms at SHAID. We currently have 29 cats in our care and continue to take new faces in everyday. If you, or someone you know, is having difficulty caring for an animal please reach out. We have room, lots of loving families waiting and would love to help.... To discuss our intake procedure please give us a call at 902-543-4849 or email [email protected].

A fantastic update! I’ll start with Anna. She is such a sweet girl. She has really opened up in the last couple weeks. She has been enjoying the odd playtime with cat nip and has come to enjoy a cuddle every now and again. She loves being brushed and lets us know when she’s had enough. She has meal times down pat and is very vocal to let us know in case we aren’t on time! She has her old lady blanket on our bench in the dining room. She loves to smell and test everything ...we eat! We are so happy to have Anna and we love her so much already! Onto Max; Max has so much personality. He is so funny to watch and play with. He loves cat nip and meal times. In the morning, after breakfast he burns his energy by running laps around the house and getting into everything. He loves plants. After supper he is down for a good cuddle. He has come so far in such a short amount of time. He follows us around the house and lets out the sweetest little meow to make sure he gets loving on demand! He loves his big brother Domino and they play together everyday! We love Max so much already!

We’ve had some questions about our fees and what exactly they cover. Here is a chart of the basic treatments all of our animals receive before being adopted. Sometimes they receive intense medical care. Thanks to our fantastic community we cover those medical costs when they are with us and help them on their way to finding their families.
