A Merriest Christmas & Happy Healthy New Year!

It's that jingle bell time of year again and all of us at the Animal Sanctuary and Care Society want to wish you the merriest Christmas and a happy & healthy New Year!

We have found some great new homes for our furry friends this season — and met some really wonderful people, too!! Thanks to all of you for your love and support!

As always, we have lots more wonderful kitties waiting anxiously for their new, forever homes! You can see their pictures and read their stories on our website — www.ascscats.org.

Please keep our cats and kittens in mind when considering your holiday donations!!

Love and purrs and hugs,

~Debbie, Elektra, Sam, Cheryl, Heather, Tripti, Susan, Becca and the ASCS kitties!!!

Our Featured Cat — Truman would love a home for the holidays!!

© Copyright 2011 Rachel Shuler Photograhy & Mountain Tree Studios

Hi! I'm Truman!

I am just wondering when it is my turn to find a new home... I have been available for adoption for awhile now, and no one is calling! I don't understand what the problem is...

Handsome? Yes, I am an unbelievably handsome buff tabby fella. Just look at this picture!!

Sweet? I'm pretty sweet... I can be a bit grumpy when one of the young foster cats is buggin' me (you gotta understand that!).

Older and Wiser?? Yes, it's true, I have been around the block a few times.

Cat friendly?? Sure, I'm ok with another nice cat. If I were to be your only cat, that would be ok, too!!

Dogs?? Not so much!

Kids?? Ditto!!

I really am a nice boy & I love my people — I like to sit quietly with my paw on their arm and just hang out. I am gentle and very loving!

Oh, one more thing — I like a good chat once in awhile... Does it sound like you could love me? Give my people a call...

I'd just love a home for the holidays!!

=^..^= Love,

~Truman

PS: I would like to thank my wonderful and talented photographer for coming and doing a photoshoot with me at my foster home! Rachel Shuler of Mountain Tree Studios and her husband Joel were terrific and patient. Great cat people themselves, they understood that it would take some time for me and my kitty pals to get ready for our close-ups!

Please visit www.ascscats.org to view all our adoptable kitties!

If you are looking for a great photographer, we highly recommend Mountain Tree Studios, not just for their love of animals, but also for Rachel's great eye, creativity, professionalism and the gentle way she and Joel worked with our fosters during their photoshoot.

"Not So Crazy Cat People"

Our humans are a diverse group of Not So Crazy Cat People. They have careers that range from service to professional, retailer, graphic designer, author, program manager, software developer, business owner, dancer, teacher, veterinarian. They are fully employed, have fulfilling personal and professional lives, are passionate about rescuing animals and they find the time and balance to help ASCS Cats. Get to know them and you will see, maybe you are a Not So Crazy Cat Person too? Is there some special gift or skill you possess that could help? Got a little time to foster a kitty, or two? Maybe come and hang out at adoption day and give us kitties head rubs, belly rubs, love... and treats work, too! We’ll purr if you do!!!

Marin: Cheryl Beauvais & Tom Montgomery, Sam Bradshaw & Tom Paderna, Ron Capasso, Pauline Le Gendre, Tripti Noorani and her wonderful family (Ajmal, Sasha, Tina, Arman), Robyn Piper, Heather Rhine, Susan Shea, Becca Martinson and her lovely family
