LifeLine Animal Project Rescues Discarded Kittens and Elderly Cat, and Meet our DeKalb County Pets of the Week

By KAREN HIRSCH (Star Patcher)

LifeLine Animal Project recently rescued four five-month-old kittens and an elderly cat in two separate incidences. The kittens were discarded in a closed container beside a busy road. LifeLine took immediate action, and had our wonderful vet and clinic technician examine the babies carefully, administer medicine and give them a dose of love. We are now housing, feeding and caring for them, and soon they will be spayed or neutered. These babies, who were considered disposable by someone, are precious to us. They are already playing with shoelaces and snuggling with the staff, and they will be up for adoption soon.

LifeLine also found a gorgeous cat, we named Azrael, in a box on another road. Azrael is a bit timid when you first meet her, but is quick to warm up, and is as sweet and loving as she is beautiful. She is an older lady of about 14 years old who would like nothing more than to find her forever home with someone who wants an older, gentle-hearted cat. This beauty has lovely medium length gray hair and striking golden eyes. If you are interested in meeting this sweet beauty, please email adoptions@lifelineanimal.org.

LifeLine’s DeKalb County Animal Services Pets of the Week: Skip and Gabriella

Meet our first Pet of the week, Skip, a mellow, three-year-old Border Collie mix who would love nothing more than a comfy place to rest and a family to love. Skip is a sweet boy who is shy at first, but comes around with a little TLC. If you are looking for a calm, quiet and loving boy, then you owe it to yourself to meet Skip today.

Our next pet is Gabriella, a loveable three-year-old Shepherd mix who is cuddly and calm. Gabriella is very smart and treat motivated, so it will be a breeze to teach her new tricks. She also loves to snuggle and would sit in your lap if she could fit. Come meet this sweet girl today!

If you adopt Skip or Gabriella during September, you can take advantage of our “Fall in Love” promotion, and their adoption fees will be FREE! This includes their spay/neuter, vaccines and microchips – a $250 value!

To meet them, simply drop by the shelter at 845 Camp Road in Decatur, email adoption@dekalbanimalservices.com or call (404) 294-2165. To view other pets available for adoption, please drop by the shelter or visit www.dekalbanimalservices.com. All potential adopters will be screened to ensure they go to a good home.
