Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Extreme Makeover: Cat Edition
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2012/07/extreme-makeover-cat-edition_27.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. Extreme Makeover: Cat Edition. These days, I do cat photos almost every time I go to the shelter. I never post them since this is a small animal blog, but this week I've done about 40 different cats and I had to post some. Since it's kitten season, we are inundated with kittens of all ages, plus the usual suspects - teenagers, long-termers, adults, strays. So here are some of the more recent 'before's and 'after's:. I love this guy! Blaze is an incredible sweetheart. He's one o...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Walking on Sunshine
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2012/07/walking-on-sunshine.html
Tuesday, July 10, 2012. I love statutory holidays at the shelter, because there are no visitors to distract you from the animals. It's always a nice opportunity to spend quality time with the latest inmates, getting to know them and letting them have extra attention or exercise. I spent Canada Day there, and since it was such a lovely day outside, I took the rabbits out on to the grass. Beatrix, on the other hand, decided to take full advantage of her time outside. She is such a quirky rabbit. I ...My ol...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: The Turn-Around
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-turn-around.html
Thursday, July 19, 2012. We've had a slew of adoptions lately! After a very slow couple of months, it's been a whirlwind of good news over the last couple of weeks. First, Sir Nigel. Was adopted to Pawsitively Pets, a kid's camp where he will serve in an educational role, teaching kids how to properly care for and handle chinchillas. He has a nice three-storey cage and will be treated very well. Then a few days later, Leonard. The day after Leonard went, we had three. Were adopted - together! Were sent t...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Scaredy-Cats
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2013/01/scaredy-cats.html
Tuesday, January 15, 2013. When I arrived at the shelter today, I was planning to spend all my time with the cats. There was one new hamster in the Room, but otherwise the Room was pretty calm, and I wanted to do a photo sweep of all the cats. To my surprise, however, there was a sign on Adoption Room 2 declaring it was "Closed". I asked the staff if there was a sickness going around - the typical reason for closing an adoption room. What, all of them? Lizzy is not actually that shy, although she wasn't ...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Top of the Morning
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2013/03/top-of-morning.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. Top of the Morning. I am just the worst blogger ever, aren't I? It's been another two months without a post! On the upside, I did a holiday photo-shoot for the first time in over a year. It ended up being a pretty small shoot, for the best reason - I had to stop and help with an adoption in the middle! It was a great adoption, and in the end I still got some hilarious. Photos for St Patrick's Day. This undoubtedly being one of the best. Look at his face! Petunia here is a recent t...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Christmas Carol
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2013/01/christmas-carol.html
Sunday, January 13, 2013. We had a bit of an odd situation over the holidays at South. Five days before Christmas, some Parks workers discovered that someone had been living in a shed owned by the city. The shed was abandoned before they found it, but four pet mice had been left behind - two males and two females. The last female was on pregnancy watch of course, and did not disappoint. On Christmas morning, the staff were greeted with this sight:. As well, they seem to be much more bonded with their mot...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Sudden
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2013/04/sudden.html
Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Because of this lack of understanding, most young rabbits that arrive at the shelter are skinny. People don't realize they need Alfalfa hay when very young, or that they need more food and more variety in order to develop properly. Sometimes, young surrenders are very. Skinny, and because of this, they are a little lethargic. Typically we feed them properly and they perk up in a week. Before she got back, Nimbus began to have some sort of fit, stumbling into the walls and crashing...

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: New Year, New Start
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2013/01/new-year-new-start.html
Thursday, January 10, 2013. New Year, New Start. Wow, it's been over six months since I posted. Oops! I could go over the million things that have happened at the shelter since July 27, but what's the point? Animal rescue is an in-the-moment business. Animals come and go, and there's no point in dwelling in the ones already adopted, because there are new ones in need. Laura, so glad you are back! Tina :) P.S. love your cat photos!

Feathers, Fur & The Occasional Fang: Moving On Up!
http://friendlyfeathers.blogspot.com/2013/07/moving-on-up.html
Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Is there anyone still reading this? If so, kudos to you! It's been pretty apparent that this blog has mostly been abandoned at this point. It makes me a little sad - I ran this thing for almost 4 years! Admittedly it was sporadic at times, but still. We've received updates, donations and adoptions through this blog, so thank you to everyone who ever read and offered support! You can now find out about TAS South's small animals at:. In summary: thank you everyone! I loved reading...
