Bob in Jamestown


This is Bob.

Domestic Long Hair-black and white Mix
Size: Large
Age: Adult
Sex: Male




Bob is an adult male long hair black and white cat that was brought to the shelter from the city pound. He is pretty mellow and came to the shelter with lots of matted fur. He didn't mind having the mats being brushed out as he seemed to know he needed help with his grooming skills. Just think of what a good companion he's going to be knowing a complete stranger can groom him, and a new family will be able to give him lots of love and brushings.

2005 ASPCA Henry Bergh Children’s Book Awards


AND THE WINNERS ARE…Now here’s some “fine print” that shouldn’t be overlooked! Earlier this month, the ASPCA announced the winners of the 2005 ASPCA Henry Bergh Children’s Book Awards. A dozen titles were recognized for their exemplary handling of animal- and environment-related subject matter, including:



- And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, a tale based on a true story of a charming penguin family that’s just a little bit different

- Jennifer Armstrong’s Magnus at the Fire, the historical story of a heroic horse who refuses to be put out to pasture after his firefighting days come to an end

- Dog Sense by Sneed B. Collard III, about a boy who, with the help of his dog, takes on the challenges of moving to a new town, making friends, and facing difficult people and life events.
