Life at the Shelter





So Many Kitties!
Cats in the "Meow Mansion"

Even though these cats have such different personalities, they all come together for naptime on the couch!


Rest in Peace Zeb
You will be missed

We are sad to announce that our old friend Zeb has passed away. Zeb was a resident of the community relations office for over a year and could be relied on for a cuddle whenever you needed one. His enthusiastic purr was in the background every day.



Thanks for the companionship Zeb, you will be missed.

*Whistles* To All My Friends
Say hello to Lily!

My name is Lily, and I have lived with the NFHS staff for a couple of years now. I'll admit that I may be moody at times... but everyone here seems to accept me as I am, so I lead a pretty happy life. I am always dying for someone to come over and scratch me behind the neck - it feels so nice! I'd love it if you gave me a whistle or brought me a treat sometime, but don't you dare stick your big human fingers in my cage. Just warnin' ya!

As of the summer of 2010, I now live at home with one of the retired animal control officers. I love her to bits, and no offense to my favourite receptionist back at the shelter, but I'm enjoying the vacation! I'm one lucky bird!




Hard At Work

Pictured are Lori and Andrew, both and part of our wonderful staff. Without you we wouldn't be able to open our doors each day. All of the animals are extremely grateful for your hard work and all the effort you put forth.






Wildlife at the Shelter

The NFHS is so lucky to have such a beautiful property and location next to the river, where we're always finding new and spectacular creatures both inside and outside of the shelter.
Pictured here are: a killdeer faking a broken wing to lead predators away from its nest, a snail napping in our front garden, and an inchworm.
Other wildlife found around the shelter includes coyotes, foxes, deer, raccoons, beavers, and snapping turtles!

Front Desk Help

Pictured is Tessa and Holly, Tessa is one of our receptionists and Holly is one of our co-op students. Our receptionists work so hard to keep everything in order, and to help facilitate adoptions. All of our receptionists are multi-taskers and for them everyday is a busy day. Not only are they our receptionists but they also help with the cleaning everyday.
Thank You To Our Receptionists.


ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!
Casey

Pictured is Casey, he is already been adopted by one of our animal control officers,Cathy,who is his best friend. Mostly Casey hangs out in the office but sometimes he goes up to the front desk. He´s steadily recovering from his very serious case of mange,and is a very special, and well loved boy.


Beaver set free

This beaver was set free this week by the NFHS staff after returning to the shelter from a wildlife rehabilitator.

Enjoy your freedom, buddy!


Baby Bunnies Rescued!

A good citizen found baby bunnies when he was cutting his grass. He searched all through his yard to see if there were anymore to be found. The babies were brought here to the humane society and then later were brought over to a rescue to be taken care of.

Thank you!


Home Away From Home

Pictured is one of our volunteers, spending some quality time with her extended family in the free roam adoption room. With all the brushing, cuddling, and love that the cats get, it´s as if they´re already home.

Thanks to all volunteers!




Zeb

Pictured is Zeb, the king of the Community Relations office. Zeb is a 15 year old sweetie pie who is sharing our office. He came in to the shelter because his owner became ill and couldn't care for him any more. Zeb is a welcome addition to the Community Relations office and reminds us every day how much animals enrich our lives.

Thank you Zeb!


Coop students work hard

Pictured is Holly, coop student from St Paul, doing the important job of disinfecting cages for the cats. Holly takes her work very seriously and is a great asset to the shelter.

Thank you Holly!
