They’re grrrreat
Clarion PAWS in Shippenville has Rayna and Roger available for adoption.
“Roger was part of one of our relocation projects. He and his sister Rayna were just tiny 6 week olds. Even at that point they tried to be feral,” the shelter said in a Facebook post.
Roger
“Roger has come a long way and loves attention. He is shy when you move too quickly but will gladly climb on your lap if you sit down. You can tell them apart as Roger is a polydactyl. If you’d like to give a shy kitten a chance Roger is your guy,” the rescue said.
Rayna
“Rayna is Roger’s sister. She is much more timid. She does not mind people but is still very scared around new people and too much commotion,” the shelter said in a Facebook post. “If you have time to work with her she would be a wonderful cat. She just needs a quiet home to teach her how to trust.
The shelter is also in need of Purina Kitten Chow, the yellow bag.
Clarion PAWS is located at 11348 Route 322, Shippenville, Clarion River Hill, between Scrap Happy and Clarion Electric. The adoption center is open from 5 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
The center is closed Fridays and Sundays. More information is available online at www.clarionpaws.org, the group’s Facebook page or by calling (814) 229-1231.

Patience appreciated
UPDATE: A post on the Venango County Humane Society’s Facebook page on Monday, Aug. 7, stated that the cat area would remain temporarily closed.
Earlier information from the shelter indicated that the area may have been able to open this week.
People should call the shelter or check its Facebook page for updates.
The shelter posted earlier this week on Facebook that the cat area was closed to the public and volunteers beginning Monday, July 31.
“We have had a batch of cats come in with ringworm and we need to continue to disinfect the room and also monitor all of our kitties for any signs of the fungus,” the post said.
“Your patience is very much appreciated as we have a long list of cat/kittens waiting to come in … ,” the post continued.
Homes for hounds
Emma
Meanwhile, the shelter has a couple of real hound dogs looking for homes.
Emma, a hound mix, is a 7 to 8 month old spayed female. Her coat is predominately white with some black spots, orange coloring on the sides and black ticking. She has black ears and a black mask with some chestnut coloring on the face.
“Emma is very loving and playful. She listens well when on the leash and will need a daily walk. Emma will also enjoy a chance to explore in a safe area,” the shelter said in a Petfinder listing.
Lulu
Lulu, a Beagle mix, is a 7 to 8 year old spayed female. She has a white coat with brown on her face and right ear. On the upper part of her tail is a smudge of black and brown.
“Lulu is house trained and leash trained. She’s a sweet girl who gets along with everyone she meets. When her picture was taken, she enjoyed the company of two volunteers. Lulu will need a moderate daily walk on leash and lots of time to bond with her new family,” the shelter said in a Petfinder listing
The shelters hours are from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and from noon to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through August.
