The Gazette had yet another article on the supposed changes being implemented by officials at the county animal shelter. Shelter officials say things are better, though animal advocates remain concerned.

Lost cat from New York Ave/I-295 accident

On Dec. 29th, an unlucky couple traveling from Massachusetts to Florida was involved in a nasty auto accident at the entrance ramp of New York Avenue. Just off of I-295. Renna, the frightened kitty ran out of the car and reportedly into the direction of the Theodore Hagans Cultural Center.

Renna is a black and white domestic short hair female that weighs approximately 13lbs. Luckily, she does have a micro chip. She is a house cat and not accustomed to the inclement weather, nor fending for herself.

Skinny is Missing and Needs Your Help!

A beloved cat of some Cheverly residents has gone missing and they need your help in locating him asap. Their message is below.

Skinny has totally vanished and not come back since 3:30 PM. This is a cat who is totally comfort and food-oriented. He doesn't go far. But I have searched and called all the way around Valley Way and Lake, even though he was really just hanging out in front of the house, where there was no snow. In short, our beloved Skinny appears to be lost. He is large, about 2 years old and totally black EXCEPT for a small bit of white chest hair and a white area on the lower stomach that looks like underwear.We live on Lower Valley Way near Benton between Lake and 59th. If you have info or see him, pls let me know or call 301 386-4072.
Thanks!

Please note that the above is a picture of Skinny, but it's from when he was much younger. However, with this picture, you should get a good idea of his coloring and basic build.

Tuxedo Kitty Looking For Family To Love

A woman called me today about a cat that had been hanging around her place looking for food. She was unable to locate the original owners, so she brought the cat inside, but her husband is severely allergic and even keeping the cat on a different level of the house isn't helping. We're now looking to find her an forever home.

This striking kitty that they've named Candace is still young, probably no more that 2 years old. She's somewhat frisky and loves to run around after her toys. She seems perfectly healthy, and likes to sit on the recliner in her room. She instantly purrs as soon she enters the room. In fact, she's so engaging that she often wraps her tail around the legs of her caretaker! She may have been outside, on her own for a while as she does startle easily, so a little bit of TLC (primarily at first) should be utilized.

Do you our someone you know have room in your home and heart to adopt this special little girl? If so, please contact cheverlycarneys@gmail.com or 202 812-3233.
