Become a Resident Assistant!
You are here
The Department of Housing and Residential Education is glad to know that you may be interested in a position as a Resident Assistant. The RA position is a very important part of the DSU family. As an RA, you will have an opportunity to positively affect the lives of others. The Residential Education staff is made up of Resident Directors (RD's), Senior RA's (SRA's) and current Resident Assistants (RA's). The people in these positions share a common bond of caring and respect for each other and for each resident. We are looking for people who are interested in sharing their spirit and enthusiasm for their school and their time with others.
The RA serves in one of the most comprehensive roles in the Student Affairs Division. No student problem escapes the RA's involvement. This is one of the most difficult student positions to hold and to perform well. To be called on to do so many tasks, to hold so many responsibilities, and to be accountable for so many other people during the time you are shaping your own education, is one of the greatest challenges you will face during your life as an RA here at DSU.
RA's act as supervisors of their floor/wing or apartment unit and, as such, gain valuable experience in organization, leadership, supervisory methods, and peer counseling in the area of conflict resolution. This experience may benefit you later in life and should certainly be added to your resume. All of these are valuable tools to develop, regardless of your later role in life.
Print, fill out and submit the Resident Assistant Application to Laws Hall main office, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

New Melanoma Drug Sees Success
Posted: June 1, 2009
An early clinical trial shows promise for a drug that treats advanced melanomas.
An experimental drug has shown promise as a treatment for advanced melanoma, one of the deadliest of cancers, according to preliminary results from a small trial presented recently.
The oral drug, known as PLX4032, is being developed by privately-held Plexxikon Inc and Roche Holding AG. The experimental compound is designed to block a genetic mutation in a cellular pathway, known as BRAF, that occurs in up to 60% of melanomas and about 8% of all solid tumors.
In a Phase 1 trial, nine of out of 16 melanoma patients with the mutation who were treated with clinically relevant doses had tumor shrinkage of at least 30%, said Dr. Keith Flaherty, assistant professor at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania and the trial's lead investigator.
Plexxikon said larger clinical trials to support a registration program for product approval are targeted to start later this year.

Just when I think I've seen my favorite part, you show something else. It's just too much! Seriously, love it all. That credenza and pagoda mirror alone are to die for, but then you add in the rugs and pottery and benches and console. Phenomenal job! And I guess I'm late to the party because I just realized that you changed the name of your blog - great choice on that too!

My My young lady! I knew I should comment each week, but I didn't want to be a nuisance so I thought I would wait till the end. Lesson learned. I don't know where to start. The panel treatment on the wall is absolutely amazing. I really liked the gold rub n buff treatment on the mirror. The finish is spot on especially with the gold trim on the little black table. Lucky you on that custom fabric....amazing and oh so perfect with the lamps and the white table. Just a wonderful accomplishment. I love your style and the way you just tackle everything. Great job!

I love your work here...and it was a lot! I think that the rug with the knotted/bound ends are indicative of a woman that is single, and when the woman is married, they are cut and allowed to be free, exposing the fringe. Beautifully done! B

Hi Linda,
What a wonderful transformation! I love the mix of painted vintage furniture and original vintage rugs. Just my fave. I am working on a room in my house - guest room, and am nearly "finished" (LOL) with the after part of a large formal living room re-do. How do I get to play?? I don't have a blog (yet) but I do occasionally post my projects on Houzz and Yelp. I just recently discovered your blog and I am enjoying what I am seeing and learning and being inspired by. Thanks! - April 3, 2013 at 5:57 PM

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

In "Creating Home," a Tapestry of Faith program
Learning this popular hymn will introduce the hospitality theme of the session and help deepen children's sense of Unitarian Universalist identity. Gather the group. Sing for them Hymn 188 in Singing the Living Tradition, "Come, Come, Whoever You Are."
Ask if any of the children have heard the song before. In your own words, say:
This song is called "Come, Come, Whoever You Are." It is a popular Unitarian Universalist hymn. A hymn is a special kind of song. It might have words that say "thank you" or words that offer praise to the world or give a blessing. Faith homes like our Unitarian Universalist congregation, or a temple, or a church, are places where people often sing hymns.
Tell the children that you will teach them this hymn so the next time they hear it in their congregation, they can sing along.
Teach the hymn yourself, or ask the volunteer you have invited to teach it, by singing each line and asking the children to repeat the line after you. Then put the lines together. Sing the song several times. As "Come, Come Whoever You Are" is a fairly upbeat song, consider inviting the children to stand and join hands, swinging them upward and outward to the beat.
In this age group, children may not fully understand the meaning of all this hymn's words and phrases. Explain that the title phrase, "Come, come, whoever you are" means that we, as Unitarian Universalists, joyfully welcome every different kind of person.
This hymn is frequently sung as a round. If you feel your group might enjoy trying to sing it that way, form two groups. Have everyone sing it through once, then have one group start singing and bring the second group in after the first line. Let both groups sing the hymn three times.
For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

14th December, 1927
My dear P.M.,
I arrived here on 10th December, as arranged, after a useful trip.
I saw the west coast of Australia from the air, had a rapid 48- hours look through Java by train and car, stayed with Sir Hugh Clifford [1] and saw the Base at Singapore, motored up through Malaya to Penang and saw something of their worldshaking tin and rubber industries, had 3 days in Cairo and a long talk to Lloyd [2]-then 2 or 3 days each in Rome, Florence, Venice, Vienna (stayed with Leeper [3]), Coblenz, and Paris. It was all most entertaining and we filled in a good many gaps in our maps. I am most obliged to you for having made it all possible by letting me take nine weeks to get home.
I have seen Sir Granville Ryrie [4] and Trumble [5], as well as most of the F.O. and D.O. people. I will have, I think, no difficulty in working harmoniously with Australia House.
Campion [6] called at the Dominions Office lately and, in conversation with E. J. Harding [7], he said that since his appointment with the Commonwealth terminated in 1925, he had been in hopes that his work would have been recognised by the Commonwealth Government. Harding took this to mean that he wanted a knighthood of some sort. He intimated that he had a letter from you, dated 13th June, 1925, in which he quoted you as saying that you were giving the matter your consideration. Harding said, of course, that it was not a matter in which either he or the Dominions Office could interfere. [8]
As to America, I note your letter of 9th October, in which you say that, in view of Sir Hugh Denison's [9] resignation, the matter of an Australian Counsellor at Washington (to handle any diplomatic questions that may arise) may soon be considered by Cabinet. If I may say so, a good deal of the effectiveness of an Australian Counsellor would, in my opinion, hinge on his intimate connection with the Trade Commissioner's Office in New York. There are happily few opportunities, or rather necessities, for diplomatic negotiations between the U.S. and Australia, and unless the Australian Counsellor had some measure of control over the New York Trade Commissioner's office and its doings, he would, I think, be rather wasted. I would submit that, if he is appointed, the Australian Counsellor should spend at least a third of his time in New York and that a regular and important part of his work should be the forwarding of Australian financial and commercial relations by his connection with the Commercial Section of the British Embassy and, through them, through the British Consular Service throughout the U.S.
Also you realise, I know, the high cost of living in Washington.
The pay and allowances of the First Secretary and Counsellor respectively in the British Embassy at Washington are as on attached sheet. [10]
Canada has made application through the Dominions Office to the Foreign Secretary, asking if it is agreeable that they establish Legations in Paris and Tokyo. A favourable reply being naturally forthcoming they are, I believe, setting about this new representation forthwith. They have, I believe, at the same time approached the French and Japanese Governments.
There is a rumour current that the South Africans are about to start a Legation at Lisbon, but I am told that this is premature on account of the expense involved. They have considerable friction with the Portuguese in Portuguese East Africa and Angola, but up to the present the consequent negotiations have been undertaken by the British Ambassador at Lisbon.
The Foreign Office tell me that the South African High Commissioner [11] in London has, in the last three months, begun to address written communications direct to the Foreign Office, not through the Dominions Office.
As to Naval Construction in this country, you know, of course, that two cruisers are cut out of the current year's programme. I hear very confidentially that next year will see two 'B' class cruisers laid down instead of one 'A' and two 'B' and that in the succeeding year (1929) there will be one 'A' and two 'B' (the normal programme), but that the Treasury have the right to challenge the 'A' cruiser if the world position warrants it. This is still all particularly confidential.
Lord Crewe is retiring from Paris and there is great elbowing amongst the senior diplomats for the post-the plum of the Diplomatic Service. The people said to be in the running are Sir George Grahame (now in Brussels), Sir Horace Rumbold (Madrid), Sir Esme Howard (Washington) and Sir Ronald Lindsay (Berlin).
Possibly, however, it may go to some prominent personage not in the Service. [12]
A high official at Buckingham Palace recently said to another highly placed person who is a friend of mine-'I suppose it is not unknown to you that the King doesn't think much of the Foreign Office as at present constituted'.
Although it is very much too early for me to make any comment on this subject, I find, amongst the several people I have talked to, the same impression that I once before mentioned in a letter to you-that the F.O. is not as keen and persistent a weapon as it was under Eyre Crowe. [13] Crowe had a resolute, masculine, possibly German, mind whereas Tyrrell has an ingenious and resourceful but feminine type of mind. The F. O. now tends to be more 'diplomatic', more ready to compromise, and-as it was put to me today-with less guts than before. This is just an impression and is not based on much more than most impressions are.
Great efforts are being made (I am told most confidentially) to discover the source of the British Communist Party's funds.
Evidence is practically conclusive that they come from Moscow.
Whilst in Vienna I had talks to Lord Chilston (the Minister), Leeper and the Commercial Secretary of the Legation. The one thing of interest to us that they had to say was that the time seemed ripe for Australian trade representation of some sort in Vienna to serve not only Austria but Czechoslovakia and the other contiguous countries. Before the war Phillpotts [14], the present Commercial Secretary, was British Consul there and was allowed by H.M.G. to be given a small annual retaining fee by Sir George Reid [15] in return for his carrying out the job of Australian trade representative as part time work. He hardly got going before the war came. He cannot do such work now, but says there are one or two English business men in Vienna who, he thinks, would perform the same function for us at a small fee, say 100 per annum. He suggests in particular that the sale of frozen mutton to Austria and Czechoslovakia could be started by judicious propaganda. They are beef-eating countries and mutton is now practically unknown. I have passed my notes on the above to Australia House.
Phillpotts told me that the Canadians make use of him a good deal for commercial enquiries but that no other Dominion seems to think it worth while to do so.
I went last night to a small Group Meeting of the Royal Institute of International Affairs at which Cooke, of Davenport & Cooke, the authors of the pamphlet critical of Australian Finance [16], read a paper in which he reviewed the 'reforms' in Australian Finance since (and he rather implied-consequent upon) their pamphlet of a year ago. Andrew Williamson [17] and a few others connected with Australian industry and finance were there. Cooke does not propose to publish this paper but is to let me have a copy of it, which I will forward to you in due course.
Yours sincerely, R. G. CASEY

I have one plant, of all the ones I have in pots, that is starting a blossom.
it's in the process of opening up and I think it's going to be a full bloom, within the next day or so.. isn't that kinda weird? it's not labeled and it's a salmon color one, from all appearances..
Becky...Washington state..warm summer this year and moderate. |

also mentioning that I did absolutely nothing special to care for them..just watered them regularly this season and never did feed anything. |

I also have buds on mine...I'm pretty sure they aren't leaf buds. They are suppose to be spring bloomers, but I'm wondering if the late frost/freeze affected their bloom time. |
Rhododendrons sometimes rebloom. Reasons are usually weather-related. Reblooming often follows a period of stress, such as heavy rain and cool temperatures after a drought, although it happens occasionally even when growing conditions are good. There are several red that I see reblooming most years locally and at the beach....I don't know if it's a particular characteristic of this red, or, if because they are red, they are more noticeable from the street/highway :) |

well, it's been a weird summer... and while it was in the process of blooming, I took pictures of it. it's been a strange month of August, while we usually have the heat of the summer, it's been rather mild, with a few 80-90 degree days. last night it was thunder and crashing lightning, followed by torential rain. I would say that this one is going to be a survivor for sure. |
- Posted by seaglassic PNW-8 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 4, 07 at 20:29
oh man...out in the yard, is a second one..same color, also in the early stage of sending out a blossom. so, I drug it close to the other one and now they are sitting there, side by side..just looking very healthy. I have one large one, called "Mikkeli"..it's a rather new one from the Netherlands. Sasha Mikkeli...kindof a catchy name. |
That is a pretty name. Clearly, people do name their rhododendron crosses after their children, not so often - their children after rhododendrons :) |
Elizabeth and Elizabeth Hobbie are red Rhodies that rebloom rather reliably in the Fall in our area. |

It's the next 2013 Changemaker Nomination suggested by a chocolate lover like you!
Congratulations to Bill of Rights Defense Committee: www.bordc.org
Here's what Shahid has to say about this fearless organization:
"BORDC has been fighting for civil rights and civil liberties since the Bush administration first introduced the PATRIOT Act. With many of the Bush-Cheney administration's abuses having continued (or in some especially disappointing aspects, escalated) under the Obama administration, BORDC's work building local coalitions to challenge profiling, surveillance, detention, and torture is more important than ever. The latest newsletter (bordc.org/newsletter/2013/02/) offers a snapshot of the latest highlights from around the network."
A little more info:
"The Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC) is a national non-profit, non-partisan organization working to restore the rule of law and our constitutional rights and liberties. We aim to make police and intelligence agencies accountable to we, the people whom they serve. BORDC supports an ideologically, politically, ethnically, geographically, and generationally diverse grassroots movement, focused on educating Americans about the erosion of our fundamental freedoms; increasing civic participation; and converting concern and outrage into political action."

Currently running inventor 2013 premium still on the free trial until it runs out and i register it.
I am trying to create my own tube and pipe style for a 22mm copper heating pipe run.
I have been through and created the parts and successfully published them into a user contents library.
I start a new tube and pipe run in an assembly. then go manage>tube and pipe styles
I then hit 'New' i fuill out the details, select my pipe, bend and coupler...everything seems ok, i hit save.
it doesnt appear in the styles selection menu to the left (where it should and did on the tutorial) and whats more when i try and exit or do anything else the 'Save Edits?' warning comes up (clicking save doesnt help)
This is the second tube and piping run in this assy. but is a whole new run rather than route.
Any ideas?
is it a bug? or lack of privelages?
I have a similar problem.
I copy a pipestyle using "Content Center Editor" and rename it. Then alter the material and save it.
I then create a new pipe style using "Tube & Pipe Styles". However, when I double click "Pipe" to add the new style there is no plus symbol next to the new style and I'm unable to choose it.
If I go through the same process for an elbow then all is well. Just for pipes.
I had some similar issues when I was first learning to set up the Tube & Pipe module. I have attached a document that details some of these issues and what I did to fix (or work around) them. It sounds like the trouble you are experiencing is similar to what I described in part 1 of the document.
Hopefully this helps.
It sounds like you are having a different issue, so you really should have started a new thread. But check the filters in the selection dialog. You may have a filter that is excluding your copied pipe style.

A group of knitters from Yarn Bombing Los Angeles tragically bombed an entire museum with yarn in what is being called 'CAFAM Granny Squared.' Over 500 knitters collaborated in order to devastate the Craft and Folk Art Museum with yarn. In a statement by the bombers, they expressed that "our goal is to make the museum look like an oversized dollhouse stuck in the city."
The monumental effort took over nine months to complete. Thousands of 50-inch granny squares were created in order to plaster the museum. People from 25 countries took part and managed to knit 12,500 squares.
Though the installation will be taken down, the yarn will be put to good use. The squares of cozy fabric will be recreated into blankets and donated.

Top Ten Digital Marketing Trends For 2011 - HorizonWatching. If you are in the marketing profession, I think you'll agree that our profession is experiencing some major disruption.
The traditional marketing theory and methods I learned at Kellogg Graduate School of Management back in the mid-90's are still very valid.

10 marketing trends popping up in 2011. By Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY You can say one thing with certainty about new product trends for 2011: They're pretty wacky.
That's a good thing. It could be a sign of an improving economy. Or a signal that consumers and consumer product makers are ready to break out of the box after two years of recession-induced creative immobility. For two years, the snake-bitten economy has fostered one overriding new product trend: fewer gee-whizzers. Three Marketing Trends for 2011. Editor's Note: The following is a guest post from Ilana Rabinowitz, Vice-President of Marketing for Lion Brand Yarn Company.
These three concepts are not new – in fact they are age-old techniques that merchants have used whenever they came to public markets to sell their wares and stood face-to-face with the customer. For a while, in the era of mass media, these vital elements were lost, but now, digital marketing tools like websites and social media give us the opportunity to recapture elements of that personal relationship. What has also changed are the customers. 10 Marketing Trends for 2011. I recently completed a new point-of-view for SIGMA which outlines how I think marketing will be changing in the next few years.

Given that disclaimer, here's what I see as the big issues facing marketers next year: Customer engagement is not a passing fad. Communication and Marketing Trends for 2011.

When a Swiss Banker or Tax Advisor Runs Afoul of the Internal Revenue Service, Tax Problems For His Clients Are Likely to Follow
As we reported recently on our Tax Problem Attorney Blog, the IRS crackdown on offshore bank accounts has led to more criminal tax charges against tax preparers and bankers.
The U.S. Department of Justice recently accused Renzo Gadola, a former UBS banker, of encouraging a client not to report an offshore bank account. The government continues to crackdown on those who fail to file FBARs (Foreign Bank Account Reports) since instituting its tax amnesty program, a/k/a Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), and Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative (OVDI) which permits taxpayers to voluntarily disclose offshore bank accounts without the threat of criminal prosecution. Large civil penalties and interest still apply.
The government captured Gadola on videotape, telling a client at a Miami hotel not to report an overseas bank account at Basler Kantonalbank, a regional bank in Basel, Switzerland. He faces a maximum of 5 years in prison. But of interest to his clients is the fact that such guilty pleas frequently require defendants to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service. In fact, while Gadola was advising his clients the chances of getting caught with a Swiss bank account were practically "zero percent," and that there was no paper trail, one of the most reliable ways the IRS finds and tracks such foreign bank accounts is through the cooperation of bankers and tax preparers who are in trouble with the law.

There was a butter-curl moon hanging over the Castel dell'Ovo, where the Lungomare juts into the inky Bay of Naples. From where I sat, the scene looked like a postcard pun staged for my amusement: butter moon, castle inexplicably named for an egg. Tires hissing on the pavement below the rooftop terrace of my hotel were the only disturbance on a still, cool evening. How could this be Naples?I asked myself. Where were the police sirens?Where was the chaos and the din?
I had just arrived from Paris, where my hotel room happened to be located above the service door where Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed made their fateful final exit. Automobile racket on normally sleepy Rue Cambon was so loud that I was forced to shut the windows tight. I had felt jailed in my peach-colored room, with its peach walls, peach upholstery, and mirrored vanity table—a penitentiary as imagined by Barbara Cartland.
Here I had the sudden sense that the two cities had miraculously exchanged personalities, somber Paris traded for Naples's hubbub, Naples's sidewalk carnival rolled up to present an aspect that is unexpectedly prim and sedate. Is there really a contradiction in this, I wonder?Or is it that the best way to meet this gorgeous and filthy and ancient city is to find that place in consciousness Fitzgerald once wrote about, where opposed thoughts can be entertained simultaneously in one's head?
Hadn't I just driven through slick streets to dine on what must be one of the finest simple meals I have ever enjoyed, translucent slivers of prosciutto di Parma draped over pungent melon, a linguine alle vongole served definitively al dente and studded with minute briny clams?Not the least of the pleasures of dinner at Ristorante da Dora was a bottle of frank, crisp Falanghina and the fact, ordinarily unwelcome to me, that the owner sang.
A hole in the wall on a street too narrow for automobile traffic, Dora was as brightly lit as a surgical theater. The television, when I arrived, was broadcasting images of a bloodbath perpetrated by the Camorra, the Neapolitan Mafia everyone insists does not exist. For some reason I took delight in the take-it-or-leave-it atmospherics, and also in that moment when the owner set down the plate of lobster she was serving and, in a fine, strong alto, let rip.
What was she crooning in that Neapolitan dialect that seems to draw out vowels and round consonants until words are all shoulders, soft and sloping?I have no idea. But the overall effect conspired to make me quite happy; it probably did not hurt that I was a little bit drunk.
Naples struck me immediately as among the few cities left in Europe that retain the power to intoxicate; a grand port that operates as though the earth were yet a sphere of wonders and itself the magnetic center of that sphere. A novelist once noted of the city that it induced a hallucinatory sense of looking through a veil of time, at things occurring before your eyes just as they might have hundreds of years before.
In a way, one is always on that trip in Naples. It is not just that the streets slashing through the Centro Storico or the lanes ramping down sticky, cobbled hillsides were built in Roman times. It is the sense that Neapolitans' intrinsic character derives from these hills honeycombed with caves and catacombs, from claustrophobic lanes fanning from the spine of major avenues as if they were leaves in an ancient tome that is maddeningly hard to crack.
The view is not necessarily easy to reconcile with the city's disheveled nature, its petty crime, its labyrinthine plan and customs, its conceitedness and sluggish pace. Italians in other regions speak of Naples as though it were not part of modern Italy. And that, too, may be behind its appeal. As luxury brands advance on the rest of Italy, Naples revels in its isolation. True, there is a Prada boutique, and a Gucci, and a Vuitton. But these are generally viewed as outlanders, vendors of superficially appealing offerings that cannot hold a candle to local stuff.
I am referring here mainly to sartoria Napoletana, the tradition of male dandyism for which Naples is justly renowned. Milan remains the capital of Italian fashion, of course, but as the designer Kean Etro once told me, no Italian is in any doubt about where the finest custom tailors, or sartorie, are to be found.
The principal Neapolitan names are well known even outside the city: Kiton and Attolini and Rubinacci for suits; Borrelli for shirts; Marinella for ties. But the town is filled with ateliers catering to the supreme stylishness of the local male population and a vanity born of the sense that, as the writer Raffaele La Capria once said, "...in Naples appearing is fundamental, while substance is negligible."
In a brief memoir of his boyhood, La Capria recounted a time when Neapolitans would walk along the Via dei Mille on Sunday, the men appraising each other's suits, the cut and the way the shoulder seams and sleeves were set, the tapering of the trouser waists, the crease of the pants, the width of the lapels.

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
OklahomaWe serve all of the state of Oklahoma and parts of Texas. However if you are over an hour from us we will need to make transport arrangements. We are willing to meet half way or make other arrangements but please keep in mind there will be a fee for the transport. We DO NOT SHIP our animals.
I work grave yard shift on weekdays so it makes it more difficult for adoptions. Please bare in mind that you are not being ignored. We are NOT a shelter we have foster homes where the animals temp stay until adopted.
About Our Rescue Group:
We are a small no-kill senior and special needs cat sanctuary and rescue. We rescue all ages of cats from being euthanized at the shelters and the senior cats live here at the sanctuary until it is their time to "move on to the rainbow bridge". We provide adequate care for all the cats in our sanctuary and the younger, adoptable cats we find forever homes for. We are not a shelter we have the animals in different foster homes. we are NOT taking in anymore animals, however we still have animals that need forever homes.All cats are up to date on their vaccinations and before being adopted they will be spayed/neutered.

Our Adoption Process:
The adoption form is here: http://bfscatsanctuary.webs.com/adoptionform.htmAfter you have chosen a pet that you would like to add to your family you must fill out an application. Filling out an application does not mean you are automatically approved. Once application has been approved you will be able to set an appointment to meet the pet in person. After spending time with your new pet we have a contract you must sign.
Things to know when adopting a new pet:
Adopting a new pet can be exciting and challenging. Picking the breed, size and personality is something to think about. Just because a pet looks cute and cuddly does not make it the greatest pet in the world for your family. You need to make sure that it has a personality that will fit in well with your family. Here are a few tips and considerations to make you find the best pet for you.
1. Make sure you meet the pet and spend some time with it before making any kind of decision.
2. Realize that when you bring the pet home, he or she may need some time to get to know your home and everyone in it. It may not be as active or may act skiddish at first because it is a little confused about what is going on. He/she may need some quiet time just to settle in. Give your new pet a few days to acquainted. Cats especially tend to hide under beds or behind things for days if not weeks with new surroundings.
3. Make sure you can afford vet costs to keep your pet healthy. You may also need to put money aside in case of emergencies.
Our cats unless otherwise noted are UTD on their vaccinations and are spay/neutered. You must agree to a home visit after adoption and all your other pets MUST be UTD on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. All of our cats are INDOOR cats and you must also agree to NOT declaw the cat, we do however at times have some that are already declawed when they came to us.
To adopt a cat the adoption fee is $50 unless otherwise noted, which helps cover the cost of the spay/neuter, flea/tick meds,and vaccinations. If you adopt 2 its an adoption fee of just $75. Ask about our special adoption fees for senior citizens.
If you want to adopt a dog the dogs adoption fees vary.
