Featured Foster of the Month!
Hello, my name is Ashland. I’m a little bit
scared and confused as to
why I’m here and not at home, but I’m sure I will
find my new forever home
soon. I’m
a 2 year old purebred
flame-point Persian (I even have papers that say I am).
I’m very handsome with my pale blue
eyes. I’m
looking for a quiet home where
I can be petted and lead a sedate life.
I’ve been around other cats and
dogs, so I guess a housemate or two
wouldn’t be bad, but I think I would really like to be the
center of
attention. I do
like to be groomed and
scratched under my chin. Wouldn’t
you
just love to have a friend like me?
I
have been neutered (and I was declawed in the front by my previous
owner),
FeLV/FIV tested negative and I’m current on my vaccinations. I also have a microchip
implanted under my
skin that you can register with your information in case I’m
ever lost.
Persians
require regular grooming to maintain their
coats. Please be
aware of the
responsibility required to keep a cat like this in your home. If you are not willing to
spend the time with
grooming, please do not consider this cat.
A
special adoption fee applies since Ashland is a
purebred. For more information or to
inquire about adoption, please contact Amy at 785-317-2497 or ahanson@vet.k-state.edu.
Peter's in a pickle, can you help him?
Peter is an approximately 2 year old cat that has
been in the RCHS
Foster & Adoption Program since he was two weeks old.. Peter is
fully vetted, FIV/FeLV negative, neutered, vaccinated, and
microchipped. Peter is a special needs kitty and has been seen by
several veterinarians, including specialists, and they're still
struggling to understand the extent of his ailment. As you can see, he
has issues with the skin around his eyes, which is believed to be
caused by a food allergy. Peter's often on antibiotics, and has been on
perscription food for over a year. We have spent over $800
trying
to diagnose Peter's condition and make him more adoptable. He's a very
sweet and playful boy, and loves attention. Despite his
illness,
Peter has a great attitude, and has no problems eating his prescription
food.
If you would like to make a donation to help Peter, you may do so by

Or, you can mail a donation to:
"Peter's Veterinary Fund"

Peter is available for adoption to the right home who can commit to
caring for his special needs. If you are interested in
adopting
this special boy, please contact us, rchshumane@yahoo.com

Walker needs a walker, gotta a few extra bucks to
help a pup down on his luck?
Walker
is a 4 month old Boxer puppy who was born with hind limb paralysis.
He is unusually optimistic and doesn't seem to realize that
he's
different than other dogs. We believe Walker could have an
excellent quality of life with the use of a dog wheelchair. Click here
to see an example of the wheelchair or "cart" that Walker needs.
However, they are expensive and we need your help to give
this
special puppy a second chance at life.
If you would like to make a donation to help Walker, you may do so by
clicking the "Just Give" button on the left side of this web page.
Or, you can mail a donation to:
"Walker's Walker Fund"
c/o Riley County Humane Society
P.O. Box 1202
Manhattan, KS 66505-1202
Walker will be available
for adoption to the right home. If you are interested in
adopting him please contact us, rchshumane@yahoo.com
