🖤 Prego was an awesome mom to her four sauce kittens - Bertolli, Rao, Ragu, and Ortega. She also took on three orphaned babies after her kittens stopped nursing - Snack Attack, Munchie, and Chow. She was one cool mom that never stressed, kept her babies clean and happy, and was always excited for the shelter humans to come give her (and her babies) love. 😻
Prego is playful but still loves to lounge, a huge fan of head-to-tail pets, and has an adorable bobtail (sorry there's no photo). We guess her around 5 years old, she has some scars on her ears from years of street living, and her coat is growing back nicely after getting shaved due to matting in the midst of birthing and nursing her kittens. She let us give her a cut while her babies nursed - we were in awe! 🙀😺
Prego does not like dogs. She doesn't seem to mind her neighboring cattery cats. However, we aren't sure how she'd share a space with other cats at home but most cats adjust fine after some time so we are optimistic!
If our Director could have a 4th cat, Prego would be it. Since she can't, someone awesome better scoop her up! 😽

💥Gus & Scooter updates:

🦷Gus's tooth extraction was a success! Look at that sucker - ouch.
He is recovering well. His surgery only cost $527.13!

🛵Scooter had an eye hemorrhage due to Glaucoma on Thursday morning. We decided to remove it for overall health and he's recovering well. His surgery was $557.34.

When we did fundraising for Gus, this community really showed up! We raised $1,555. Thank you so much to all you animal lovers for donating. ❤️❤️ So after both these surgeries, we still have funds of $470.30 to go toward a future medical/surgical needs. ❤️ Thank you to Animal Care Center of Spearfish and Spearfish Veterinary Clinic for taking care of these pups. ❤️

Both Scooter and Gus are still looking for their forever homes! Come meet them today before we close at 4:30.

❤️🥹 Thank you to Paige and the awesome staff at Spearfish Groom & Board for giving Scooter a much needed bath, trim, and tackling his nails (that were so long that they curled and were about to re-enter his little pads). He's needed cleaned up for a while and his staining, particularly around his eyes, will need more regular attention to clear up but we didn't know that his fur was so white! He's looking handsome and feeling so much more comfortable. He cannot wait to meet his new human(s). 💙💙💙
Scooter gets along with pretty much any living thing. He's a big fan of other small dogs, likes kids, and is just a happy boy with lots of love to share. Despite his deformed front legs, he scoots along just fine! He cannot do stairs but does well being carried and he is a big fan of the soft grass!
