Adopt A Less Adoptable Pet Week 2013

It's "Adopt A Less Adoptable Pet Week"!

Pictured in this post is Butters who was born with all four feet deformed - that didn't stop him from zipping around though! After undergoing a surgery to amputate part of one limb (that was hurting him), Butters was back to his usual happy self. He was adopted out to a wonderful home with the help of Joa's Arc and thanks to a family willing to adopt a pet that was a little different.

This week, Joa's Arc will be spotlighting extra-ordinary pets, like Butters, here on our blog and also on our Facebook page.

Here's a taste from last year about some of the posts we'll be featuring this coming week: Adopting a Less Adoptable Pet: Louie

Make sure to check in daily for posts about super awesome pets ... and please consider sharing the information so we can spread the word about these wonderful creatures who are not "disabled", just unique.

Happy News

Sadie was adopted quite quickly from our super awesome fosters, Alyssa & Nick.

Sadie came to us from a local shelter and has CH - a funny form that makes her appear to be shaking her head "no" when she gets excited. We are told that Sadie (her forever family kept her name) is doing well now and that she loves to run up & down the stairs at 5am ... all her family hears is her cat bell going wild as she runs.

Lucas has been adopted too!

Keeping on a roll, Nick & Alyssa also found a great new home for Lucas, the kitten who came into a local vet clinic to be put to sleep for injuries. He won over the vet staff though and recovered well. Lucas (now named Mowgli) seems to be turning out to be quite salt and pepper in color and his forever family really loves him a lot!

We could not be more excited for these two sweet kittens! Have wonderful lives, little ones

Help us, help them.

Oh Happy Day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one cool chick, Cordi!

It's hard to believe that the itty bitty pitty (mix) puppy that was not suppose to see Christmas 2012 is alive, well and now turning a whole year old - it's incredible! We couldn't be more excited for her and her forever family to be able to celebrate this milestone.

Cordi, make sure to tell your parents for extra treats today and a dip in the pool.

Congrats and happy birthday, Cordi - here's to many, many more! We love you!

In other news, we got this great photo of Daph and her mom sent to us today. Congrats to Daph's parents on getting married today. We love you guys too :)

What an all around great day for our doggies and their families!!

Help us continue to help them...

Thank You

We at Joa’s Arc are overwhelmed by the support we have received for our organization.

Last night we posted on the Joa’s Arc facebook page asking for help with a blind kitten in a local shelter and quickly received several offers for assistance. As of tomorrow, the kitten will be safe in foster care.

Thank you to all our supporters that have insisted on making a donation, offering to foster or just giving moral support - you never stop amazing us! From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your support

Introducing Chloe

UPDATE 08-07-2013: Paulie is apparently a girl, now named Chloe :)

Meet Paulie (named after one of the minions in "Despicable Me").

Mr. Paulie was recently rescued from a local shelter where he had survived an upper respiratory infection, but was to be put to sleep due to how full the shelter was - that was far too sad for any of us at Joa’s Arc to consider! Thank you to the staff who marked him for rescue and an adopter of ours stepping up to foster, Paulie was saved.

Paulie has slight Cerebellar Hypoplasia and gets wobbly when he gets excited. Like our other CH kitties have proven, this doesn't slow Paulie down a bit - he's still a very playful, spirited kitten.

We are helping Paulie get over some congestion right now (probably from the stress of the shelter), but he will be available for adoption soon.
