After you look at Sonny and Cher, kittens up for adoption this week, please close your eyes and think of all the wonderful things that make you happy, especially at Christmas time. I’ll bet the first thing you visualize will be Sonny and Cher again. Maybe you will visualize the Sonny and Cher we knew on our TV sets in the 60s and 70s, or maybe these two beautiful kittens who do not want to ever be separated and so desperately want a permanent home. While you are thinking about these kittens, why not adopt them and fill your home with love.

Sibling kittens Sony and Cher are hoping to find a home for the holidays and beyond.
Sonny is full of fun. He does not have a really serious bone in his body and he clearly wants to become the mayor of Madawaska Lake. Sonny goes from one game to another ,then comes purring to Cher so she can comfort him at naptime. Sonny repays his beloved by carefully brushing her hair with his tongue so she will feel pretty again when they wake up again.
Both kittens are litter box trained, have good appetites and get along well with my five adult cats. If one of my adult cats hiss, they move away, but if my cat gives a friendly “hello,” Cher will promptly move in for a nose kiss. As much as you have loved your past and present cats, these two will quickly convince you that they are “the best.”
There is still time to adopt an adult cat from Caribou Pet Rescue. Please consider doing so. I understand that all the adult cats are being adopted at only $1 adoption price and are already spayed, have rabies shots and all other age appropriate shots.
Please consider going to CPR first and helping those cats before going anywhere else. These adult cats deserve a home and will need to have it by Christmas.
CPR was removed from the city council agenda for a workshop held Dec.15, due to a contract being signed with the Central Aroostook Humane Society for 2009.
All hope is now gone for CPR to continue as a shelter building at this time. However, I am the corporate “registered agent” on the corporate papers, so the paperwork can still be Caribou Pet Rescue, but it would exist as a “shelter without walls,” like the PAWS shelter in Fort Kent. This would save about $1100 of corporate and 501c3 fees.
Think of how many surgeries this money could provide and how many kittens would not have to be born into a life of neglect, pain and freezing cold winds. I don’t care if we are known as Caribou Pet Rescue or Madawaska Lake Homeless Cats — saving lives is all that is important. If the CPR board would consider this, maybe someday, someone in Caribou will decide to use it to open a full service animal shelter.
Madawaska Lake Homeless Cats is currently fostering six Caribou Pet Rescue cats and kittens with another two adults and three kittens due up here for fostering later this week. Of the six CPR cats/kittens, I currently am fostering, the four kittens are healthy, happy and ready for adoption, but the two adults cats, Ace and Blackjack, will require a long period of adjustment as they are still very scared.
I am still collecting bottles and cans to help me with the cost of medical care and 88 Bennett Drive Redemption is great about helping me do this. Please call if you would like to add a new member to your family.
Madawaska Lake Homeless Cats are cared for by Norma Milton at 773 South Shore Rd., Stockholm, ME 04783 or please contact milton@mfx.net.
