𝐌𝐫. 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐲'𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬!

Mr. Pinky arrived at FVHA as a stray. He was hungry, and clearly in pain. He wanted to eat but struggled. X-rays revealed a fractured jaw and damaged teeth, making even the smallest movements incredibly painful. After attending to his teeth and jaw, Mr. Pinky was able to heal in a foster home, and then found a loving adoptive home!

His adopter shared an update on Mr. Pinky with us!

"He very quickly took to our home showing interest to explore within the first day. We separated him and our other cat as advised for the first few days but they showed interest extremely fast without aggression so we did supervised visits within the first week. Fast forward to the next week and they were already playing. Currently they sleep together play together eat together groom each other etc.

Mr. Pinky loves to explore. We’ve been taking him on drives and introducing him to a leash harness.

Our girl having no teeth and him with the jaw issue we have them on the same diet, a hard food that gets soaked and drained in warm water a bit then mixed with a topping of wet foods like beef, chicken, salmon, turkey etc. He’s of course loving this and took to scheduled feeding times quickly."

A fun kitten ready to brighten your mornings! Meet Waffles!

Waffles came to FVHA as a stray when she was a young kitten. She has been in foster, but is ready to find an adopter!

🧇Looking to be your only cat! Right now Waffles is considered FeLV+, but should be tested again in 2 months to see if she is still testing positive!
🧇Brave and adventurous, not scared to meet new people and see new things.
🧇Waffles does well with dogs as long as she has a cat tree to run up for breaks.
🧇Does well with kids that respect her boundaries!

Waffles is happy, very playful and also loves to snuggle up for nap time. She is seeking an adopter that is willing to bring her into the vet for that recheck and is aware that she may still be FeLV+ lifelong.

Have questions about Waffles or FeLV? Give us a call at 920-733-1717! If you think you want to meet her please call to set up an appointment.

Taz came to FVHA in March when his guardian was struggling to meet his needs. He is a young, energetic, and strong dog. Like most Shepherd mixes, he found the shelter an incredibly difficult place to be.

On June 21st, Taz's family signed adoption paperwork and made it official!

Please read the update his family shared with us:

"Our boy is doing great. We had a hard time deciding on a new name for "Taz". We wanted something that would really capture his spirit.
We renamed him "Lupo", which is Italian for Wolf. Following the Italian name, he's learned all of his commands in Italian. He is a quick learner, although sometimes those ears are more for decoration.

Lupo and our son are like Frick and Frack, Pinky and the Brain, Stewie and Brian; they are having a lot of fun together. Lupo is thriving with having a teenager, because there are times they both do not think, and that is probably when they have the most fun.

He loves loves loves BALL. Addicted to the ball. We have figured out the best way for us to play ball with him is to have 2 balls, so when he comes back with 1 ball, we have the other one ready to throw, he drops the one he has, and he's ready to go.

He does have an "off switch," and once he's played with actively in the yard or in the house, he's typically taking over the couch and napping hard. It hasn't taken him long to feel comfortable and feel at home."
