Boys

On March 19, an area woman called Castaway Critters for help. While checking a rental property who's tenant had just moved, this landlord found a little surprise. Actually, six of them! Inside a back room was a momma cat, three nursing babies, plus two older kittens, Slim and Fluffy, believed to be the mom's from a previous litter--not even five months earlier. They had been left with no food, no water, no litter box - to fend for themselves and, eventually, die. When found, Slim and Fluffy - both boys - were nursing from momma alongside her three-week old babies. They were famished--simply trying to live. In a few hours, Castaway volunteers were there to pick up all six beautiful cats and kittens. They're now safe and warm in foster homes--never to be hungry again. Slim and Fluffy are now neutered and have thier shots, thanks to YOUR generous donations.  They are waiting to find their own loving families in forever homes. These boys have no idea they were left to die; they're the most affectionate and lovable little guys you'd ever want to meet, and we just want to get them home. We can do that with your help.

 

Will you help them get home?  Castaway Critters is in dire need of donations to continue to rescue animals. Veterinary and continued care of the animals has drained our resources to an extremely low level.  Castaway Critters is there for the community and for YOU. The little kittens that were found with Slim and Fluffy are waiting till funds are available to be spayed and neutered.  Our dedicated volunteers open their hearts and homes to animals in need. But, we need YOUR help, too! Right now...today...will you make a donation?  $10, $20.....$100, $200...any amount is appreciated.  With your help - and ONLY with YOUR help - we can get these adorable little boys and other needy animals home!

WE HAVE MANY GREAT DOGS/CATS THAT NEED GREAT HOMES!
HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR DOGS LOOKING FOR HOMES:
 

 

Burt and Ernie 

 

 BURT and ERNIE
Burt and Ernie are two sweet dogs that were found abandoned around Eizabethtown, PA. Burt is a Spaniel, about 6-7 yrs old, grey white and in good shape. Ernie is a golden mix, maybe 10-11 yrs male showing age and is about 60 lbs. and has red-brown short hair. Both are gentle, inseparable, quiet. These guys are available together for a special adoption fee. Please give them a chance at a new life! These are awesome dogs and would make a wonderful companion for a special family that is home most or all of the day to continue to give them reassurance and lots of TLC. They would be ideal for a retired couple to relax and enjoy the rest of their lives with. Please open your hearts to these precious boys and if you are interested, please fill out our online adoption application.

 

 
 
BUD
Hi! My name is Bud, and I’m looking for a special buddy to give me a forever home. I have a lot of enthusiasm for life – eating, playing, walking, giving kisses – it’s all great fun to me! You see, I spent a lot of my life in a shelter, so I just can’t contain my excitement about my new life. I’m looking for a home where I’m the only pet because I don’t like to share food or affection with other animals. I’m told I also need an experienced dog person who will give me lots of exercise and, more importantly, discipline to help me control my excitement. I like most everyone I meet, but sometimes a new person or a new place can be scary to me – I need someone who understands that and can help me be OK with it. My foster mom is taking me obedience class every week, and it’s really fun. I’m doing well with basic commands like sit, down and wait. I enjoy learning to be a good boy and all the treats I get for it! If you’re looking for a new best Bud, I’m the one! If interested in Bud, you can contact Bud's "mom" at: phippler@verizon.net

Frog(Reduced Fee)
FROG

Frog is quite the sweetie! She is great with small children and is quite the social butterfly! She is NOT good with other dogs, so she will need to be placed in a home where she is the only one. She is very trusting, and does not take time at all to warm up. She is housetrained, crate trained, and has proven to have manners. She will need a little further work on learning not to pull on the leash, but she is not bad at all. She is a very active girl, and you would never guess her age just looking at her! She has since been fine with my cats, but would do best with a dog savvy cat.

Got a mouse in the house...or barn?

We have barn, feral, and stray cats who don't adapt well to life inside the home, but need a safe, permanent barn home where they can be employed as mousers. Barn cats require an application but no adoption fee is required. As always, your donations are gratefully accepted and are tax deductible. Phone our adoption hotline at 831-5010 for more information or complete an online application indicating that you are interested in a barn cat.
