Excerpts From a Cat's Diary...



Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies.’ I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage..

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released – and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now………

This was too funny not to share.  Thank you Maryann for finding it!

Friday's Friends...

Last week, I totally forgot to post Friday's Friend with all the after Thanksgiving stuff.   So I will add a few extra this week.  All of our animals at the Islip Animal Shelter would love to be home for the holidays!

Look at Muggs!  He is one of the sweetest guys around!  Just look at that face!  Muggs is a Boxer Am Staff Mix, and is so gentle.  He loves people, and would make a great addition to any family!  How can you deny that darling overbite?  Come meet him, and see what a great dog he is!  See more about Muggs here.







Oh, Gypsy, such a ham!  Gypsy is a super sweet Terrier Mix.  She is playful and loves people!  She is known to drop to her back at any moment to get a belly rub.  She is just a joy, and would love a family to love!  See more about Gypsy here.








Or what about Othello?  Othello is a beautiful Border Collie Akita Mix.  Just look at that gorgeous coat!  He is truly stunning.  He loves to chase balls, and play.  He is an all around great guy, who would love to find his forever home.  See more about Othello here.







Meet Oscar!  He is an American Bulldog Am Staff Mix.  Oscar hasn't always had an easy life, as you can see by his scars, but he  still loves people.  He is playful and sweet, and deserves a good home.  Won't you come and meet him?  See more about Oscar here.







Or maybe you are looking for a feline friend, check out Miss Abby, a beautiful Calico kitty.  She is blind in one eye, but that doesn't slow her down.  Abby is very friendly, and enjoys being held.  She would make a great addition to any family.  See more about Abby here.






All of these animals would love to be home for the holidays enjoying their new families.  We have so many beautiful dogs and cats at the shelter, that you needn't look any further.  Our adoption fees are minimal in comparison to purchasing an animal, plus you are saving a life!  If you are looking to add a furry addition to your family, the Islip Animal Shelter is the place to go.

Thanks for reading, and Happy Friday!

Friday's Friends...

Here are this week's Friday's Friends.  If you are not ready to adopt, why not try fostering with us?  You get the benefit of getting to know the dog you choose first, with tons of support from Shelter Link.  Shelter Link takes care of all medical costs, all you need to do is open your home and heart.  As a doggy foster mommy, I can't say enough how rewarding this experience is for me.  Being able to nurture Skye and watch her be a dog is just awesome!  Every day we find joy having her here.






Oh my girl Peanut, how I love her so much!  All of us at the shelter do.  She is just the most wonderful sweet girl ever!  Her favorite thing to do is snuggle up against you.  She thinks she is a lap dog!  Her coat is super soft, and you couldn't find a more gentle girl.  She would make an amazing addition to any family.  She loves to just hang out.  Peanut needs to be with a family without cats.  Won't you come down and meet Peanut?  I guarantee you, you will instantly fall in love with her!  See more about Peanut here.










Or what about Dodger?  Such a mellow sweet guy!  Just a big sweetheart with a happy wagging tail, who we all think is just the best!  He's the kind of dog who is happy to lay by your feet and just hang out, or play ball ball with you.  He is a mixed breed, approximately 5 years old.  Dodger is so gentle and loving.  He would be perfect for any family looking for a sweet loving guy.  See more about Dodger here.


Or maybe you are looking for a feline friend.  We always have lots of beautiful cats and kittens at the shelter waiting for families.

Whatever your preference of pet and temperament, Islip Animal Shelter is sure to have what you are looking for!  Please come by and see for yourself all the great animals we have!  Adopting from us means you give a new life to a pet in need.

Happy Friday!
