  • Pet of the Week: Kiki

    Pet of the Week: Kiki

    [ad_1]

    Kiki, about 3 years old, suddenly became homeless when her caregiver needed to go into assisted living. Fortunately, the SPCA of the Triad had room to take her into its program, but as you can imagine it’s quite a change for Kiki to be in a noisy, busy shelter versus a quiet, peaceful home. Despite having her life turned upside down Kiki is gradually adjusting and her affectionate personality is emerging. She enjoys attention, petting and snuggling. Kiki does not like to be picked up, but that is true of many cats. Kiki is a gentle, non-aggressive cat and is coexisting with other cats at the rescue. So, with slow and careful introductions she might do well with another gentle and easy-going feline companion. She would be just as happy as someone’s cherished only pet. Given her gentle nature and previously quiet home environment, Kiki would not do well with an active family with children. She would be an ideal companion for a single person or couple with a quiet lifestyle. As Kiki is a longhaired cat with a thick coat, she is going to need regular, gentle brushing/combing to prevent painful tangles and matting and keep her coat in good condition. However, these grooming sessions will be a great way to bond with her! Her adoption fee is $85. For information, call 336-375-3222 or visit www.triadspca.org.

  • Pet of the Week: Patch

    Pet of the Week: Patch

    [ad_1]

    Meet Patch! This gorgeous red head is super sweet, does good on a leash and enjoys leisurely walks and endless scratches. She thinks rump scratches, in particular, are the best! Patch is an Australian cattle dog mix, weighs approximately 40 pounds and is 6 years old; she would be best as an only dog. She walks well on a leash. Patch can be a little bit of a “Nervous Nellie” in a busy environment and has tried to herd small children in the past, which is not atypical of herding breeds. Older, calmer children should be fine; however the SPCA of the Triad recommends a family meet and greet first along with all of their animals. Patch hopes you’ll come see her soon. Her adoption fee is $175. For information, visit www.triadspca.org.
