Izzy

 

This cute 4-year-old is waiting for a family who will share her enthusiasm for life. Izzy is very playful and loves to chase balls -- she's just not so good yet at bringing them back! She loves being out in her fenced yard all day long. Inside, she will put her head in your lap, or give you her paw to shake.

 

Izzy hasn't had a lot of contact with other animals, so we're not sure how she is with them. She is great with two 7-year-old family members and loves being right by their side when they are playing. Izzy weighs about 75 pounds and is housetrained and crate trained.

 

Won't you give Izzy a look and a fair shake at a good life? Please call Last Chance Rescue (219) 677-2961 if you are interested in Izzy.

Scooter (black) is 7 years old and Pita is 5. They are brother and sister and as you can see, can't be separated! If either of them gets locked in a room or closet the other one will let you know! And if they can’t find each other for some reason they will meow for help!

Scooter & Pita
 
Scooter is very loving and social, great with kids of all ages, and very playful! He’s so sweet that he’ll warm up the foot of the bed for you! Scooter is on a special diet where he needs to eat canned food only. And Pita (tortoiseshell) is Scooter's cat! She is sweet, particularly when you are paying attention to just her. She is a little shyer than Scooter, especially when there's more commotion going on in the house.
 
They are both fixed and current on vaccinations. If you are interested in adopting these siblings, please telephone Last Chance Rescue at (219) 677-2961. Find our other adoptable pets on Petfinder and Facebook.

--------------Awesome. That’s how we’d describe Capone. We don’t know if he’s a purebred Doberman, but he sure looks it. Capone is a total lover. He loves people, kids, and other dogs. Capone is about 3 years old, weighs about 60 pounds, and is housetrained. He is neutered and current on vaccinations. If you’re interested in this handsome fellow, please telephone Last Chance Rescue at (219) 677-2961 for the quickest response.

Two sweets for Valentine's Day! Candy and Cookie are sisters who want to be adopted together. These gorgeous five-year-olds lost their home because their owner had to move and could not take them. They are spayed, current on vaccinations, and litter box trained. If you are interested in adopting these beautiful sisters, please telephone Last Chance Rescue at (219) 677-2961 for the fastest response. Thank you!

Candy...

...and Cookie

Jethro is a handsome 8-year-old has had obedience classes and welcomes dogs into his yard to play. He likes to fetch, chew sticks, and run around. He even carries his water dish and puts it where he thinks it should go! Jethro loves people, but he is wonderful guard dog, too. He is trained on an invisible fence, so he would need the same type of fence or a physical fence to contain him, because he doesn’t know to stay in the yard and he likes to chase cars. Jethro is currently an outside dog. He is kennel trained, so he stays in the kennel at night or when it is cold. We don’t know if he would want to be an indoor dog, but Goldens do love to be with people, so it might be worth a try. If you are interested, telephone Last Chance Rescue at (219) 677-2961 for the fastest response.

Black Friday Special at Humane Society Calumet Area:

Humane Society Calumet Area is waiving cat and kitten adoption fees on November 26, 2010, on any spayed/neutered cat that has black markings. Whether they are calico or have tiger stripes, any black markings qualify. The special does not apply to Colony Cats. All adoptions are subject to application approval.  Call 219-922-3811 for more information

----

Special note from the Independent Cat Society:  They really are the best cats. They are both friendly, and not even put off by strangers... 

they love everyone... we are so desperate because the last FeLV+ cat  we housed at the shelter deteriorated rapidly when he was caged. We do not want to have to do this... they are both so sweet.

Anyone who has any questions about Petey and Sox or the condition of  Feline Leukemia can call Sue Ogg at 219-733-9512

As you can see above, Petey and Sox are a handsome pair. Besides good looks, they also share a secret you wouldn’t know unless we tell you: they are both FeLV positive, and it’s time they had a real home of their own.

Petey’s care in ICS’ foster system began with companions who were also FeLV+. Within the first year of his life,they all passed, so Petey was left alone.Then came Sylvester, a wonderful Tuxedo cat who was also FeLV+. Sadly, Sylvester also passed over the Rainbow Bridge, which left poor Petey alone again.

Meanwhile, Sox was living comfortably in Indianapolis, oblivious to ICS and Petey... till his owner passed away.

Most shelters will not accept cats who are known to test positive for FeLV, but ICS takes a different approach: we believe there is a place for EVERY adoptable cat, and we consider FeLV cats to be adoptable! So lucky Sox was admitted to ICS to be a companion to Petey, who was left alone too many times...

Now Petey and Sox are together, but they are still in limbo. They are in foster care along with many other cats, so their “human time” is at a minimum. It is time for them to move to their forever homes. They have their own room, but it’s not like having their own HOUSE to roam.

Petey and Sox need a home, either as an only cats or as companions to other FeLV+ cats. They are both extremely affectionate, and not just with caretakers. They are that way with anyone who has hands to pet... they are enegetic and playful, but Petey has been known to cry when he is lonely for human company. Petey is just over 2 years old, and Sox is going on 7 years old. They are both asymptomatic at this point, and their bloodwork is completely normal. FeLV can reside in a cat's bone marrow for many, many years before manifesting itself... it may show suddenly, or never at all.

Such is the way with FeLV, and we don't know at this point what course it will take for Petey or Sox. We do know that they need more companionship than we can give them at this moment. They both may have many, many years of happy-living and making you laugh.

FeLV is strictly a feline disease... it CANNOT be transmitted to humans or dogs. If you want to make a difference in the lives of this two wonderful boys, please consider adopting them or becoming a permanent foster. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through the process of adopting and caring for this very special pair.

If you can help these boys, please call the Independent Cat Society at 219-785-4936.

Hope
Hope is seven years old, healthy, and weighs about 12 pounds. Hope has beautiful blue eyes and is part Siamese, which means she will talk to you when you talk to her. She loves to curl up on a piece of fleece by the radiator for a good part of the day. Hope thinks she is a dog, because she comes at the sounds of her name and greets you when you come home. Her favorite toys are her balls and also bugs! She loves to cuddle and sits in your lap when you are reading or working on the computer. Hope is a smart, affectionate cat who loves people, but tolerates being alone as well. She is a wonderful companion and will make her new person very happy. Hope is spayed and up to date on vaccination. If you are interested in adopting this wonderful pet, please telephone Last Chance Rescue at (219) 677-2961 for the fastest response.
