The cats are definitely in need right now as there seem to be no cat adoptions of late. If you have ever thought that you'd like to add a cat to your brood, there are some wonderful cats and kittens that would love be yours. Tiger is a petite Torbie girl with lemon shaped golden eyes. She has pretty shades of orange speckled into her Tabby like coat and best of all is she is very friendly and people oriented. Sweet Priscilla is a darker colored Tortoiseshell and looks like she has chocolate chips sprinkled in her coat. She is a very friendly cat too just like Tiger but sadly these two have both been passed over.

Some great new cats this week... the super size Clouseau is a big Tuxedo boy; Licorice is a very loving male black cat that was clearly owned by someone as all he wants to do is be with you and rub your hand. He is an extra friendly boy that must have a sad story to have ended up someplace other than his home as you can tell he was dearly loved. Pepper has gorgeous gold eyes and a white coat with pretty brown markings on his head and back. They gray and white Tuxedo is so loving he laid his head in the volunteers head as she tried to take his photo. If it is a kitten you want, there are some darling baby Tabby babies and 2 wee black kittens just waiting for the perfect home. Be sure to come get your pick of the litter!

There were a few adoptions of pups but almost nothing for adults. How could anyone pass up Daisy? She is a darling little Rat Terrier with a face that will melt your heart. She is young but seems to have had some training along the way. Brandy is a Plott Hound likely that was meant for hunting. She probably liked people more than hunting which was not good for her so now she is rewarded with looking for a new home. She is a happy go lucky girl that hopes not to be passed over for smaller dogs again. Tyler is a compact lil guy that looks like a shrunken Shepherd mix with the most soulful eyes. Sam and Zeke are both Catahoula mixes and are very loving and nice dogs. Houlas are the state dog of Louisiana and are known for their intelligence and athletic ability. EmmyLou is a Border Terrier mix but and would make a great dog for a family or single that would like a small and loving companion. Barney is a "so ugly I'm cute" little black dog with brown around his neck. He is a definite Heinz 57 but I think he got the best of everything. He has heart and soul and little mixed breeds make the best and most loving and loyal companions. Please give each of these hold overs another look and some hope.

New dogs include 2 small (what we believe to be) Affenpincher Yorkie mixes. They are likely brothers and have unique wirey fur that sticks up all around their faces. Jet is an owner surrender with beautiful brown eyes just asking for a chance to come home with you. Little Pearl looks like she must have lost her way and no one bothered to claim her. She is not a youngster but sweet and seemingly well cared for but sad not to be home. Little Lexis a a small Spaniel mix that cocked her head at the camera in question... what a sweet little girl. Patti and Missy are 2 sisters that were sadly dumped in the outside holding pen. They are Cattle Dog / Terrier mixes and are a great size with personalities that will win you over as soon as you meet them.

The animals keep coming in and we continue to help but couldn't do it without the help of so many like you that help us spread the word for them.

Hey La Fayette, I had the honor to adopted my Dante from another shelter in Louisianna from Houma. I lost him 51 weeks and a day to Leukemia. A man named Ard from La Fayette was kind enough to pick up Dante from Houma shelter and drive him to New Orleans and put him on an airplane to Oklahoma. I had Dante way shorter than I wanted to I feel very cheated by Leukemia. I loved him very much. God Bless you all for your good work.

Putting a animal to sleep because there sick and suffering is one thing but killing them just because there not adopted in the period of time is not . You want to stop over population of pets then neuter and spay and eduacate people on being responsible caring owners.

[babyduck198718]

Not one time did i say ALL no kill shelters, did I? And, I know there are some good no kill shelters and there are good low kill shelters too.

I have done my research. That is why I'm saying what I am. I can speak on the subject of what I've seen from working in an extremely low kill shelter.

[babyduck198718]

Oh and to add to this thought, animals kill their own species all the time as do humans and other species.

Gas chambers are bad, but euthing by injection is not painful. The animal goes to sleep. Euthing basically an over dosing on anesthesia.

Please answer this..do you like animals suffering? If so, you are cruel!

[babyduck198718]

ok so an animal should suffer from an illness (in a shelter) when there is nothing that can be done? I think that's not too humane do you? it's not a wonderful thought that animals die, but reality is there are far too many animals in this world to go in a home. i do believe you should be the one researching..

[cuppy199]

Babyduck What amazes me is that some human being make excuses on why we should kill these sweet animals. I suggest you do some research because clearly you have the two confused. Oh and your comment about people kill people the difference is that the animals were never given the choice or able to speak for themselves. And it was humans that killed them not there own species.

i would of loved that tabby kitten. its amazing that we all will spend $200 - 500 on a boutique kitten or puppy. but not fork out our hearts for these kittens and pups and cats and dogs. i mean just look at their eyes: u can see their eyes have lost hope, they fear, theyre negative. u can tell they sense the "gas chamber" is approaching...
