Introducing Meet Your Match & Feline-ality at Simple Cats Adoption Center

From Simply Cats Adoption Center (Boise Idaho 83709)

The Meet Your Match & Feline-ality Adoption Program is a research-based program developed by the ASPCA that pairs distinct personalities (feline-alities) with adopters whose lifestyle fit them best.

Good matches help make strong bonds, and bonding is the key to successful adoptions.
Simply Cats is PROUD to announce that we are now utilizing the Meet Your Match program to pair adopters with their new feline friends. To our knowledge, we are the only adoption center in Idaho utilizing this program.

The research-based Feline-ality Adoption Program is built around the Feline-ality Assessment that   reliably predicts how an individual cat is likely to behave when the cat arrives at their new home. In addition, the Cat Adopter Survey identifies the aspects of the adopter’s preferences, expectations, and lifestyle that correlate with specific feline-alities.

All cats over 1 year old will be evaluated at our facility using the assessment developed by the ASPCA. Once evaluated, each cat’s profile will be posted in their respective adoption room. All adopters will be asked to complete the Adopter Survey in order to identify the appropriate cats for adoption consideration.

Help Catskill Animal Sanctuary Build a New Large Animal Barn

From Catskill Animal Sanctuary (Saugerties, New York 12477)

Two years ago, our supporters were very generous as we built three new barns: one for pigs and two for goats. This year, its the cows and horses’ turn. We’ve taken down a shelter that left no room to spare for growing populations, and are erecting in its place a 36×48 barn with a hayloft. The barn will have two spacious open areas (14×48 each) on each side, and the hayloft will enable us to double the amount of hay we can store.

A generous gift by June and Eric Bleich has enabled construction to begin, and their friends and family also generously pitched in to honor both the couples’ anniversary and June’s birthday. If you can help us finish the barn, click here to watch a video and donate now.
