Save a Life: Roicy/Lafayette, LA - Rescue needed by 10/19 at 5pm w/ PTS 10/20 am (unless held over)


All the cats were all held over today BUT rescues and adoptions are desperately needed. There were NO cat adoptions last week, which means they will have to begin euthanizing cats very soon. Our petfinder site was down like many for at least a day and a half which was VERY bad for rescue/adoption this week. There are several cats that have been held over at least 3 times. Roicy is really trying to give these cats a chance even though stray hold is full. Kissing Kitty is the sweetest grey Tabby and so full of love. She is not a fancy cat which many people go for when looking to adopt. Purring Pussycat (gray Tabby), 2 Purring Tabby kittens, and Purfect Purrer (Buff Tabby) are those in the most danger and in need of rescue. Tabby Man and Mercury (Orange Tabby) are also wonderfully sweet and loving cats. A very unusual Siamese Manx Tabby cross is a very cool & interesting looking cat. Please consider one cat and help save a precious life that otherwise does not have chance.

There were several dogs and some puppies put down this week, but many were held over. The 4 Shepherd mix puppies were rescued by an out of state rescue. Please consider the held over female Terrier (JRT looking) "Abused & Abandoned." She deserves a better life than what she has had and needs some TLC to heal her emotional scars. Sadie, the Rat Terrier, is a very sad owner surrender because she was dumped by her family. Then there is "Scared Stiff" the Heeler/Aussie mix that is also scared but warmed up quickly to a caring touch.




There is a blue Chihuahua that I can't believe is still available, as Chi's are usually adopted/rescued. The female Aussie/Border Collie is a stunning dog that looks like she may have some Setter mixed in. Just a sweetheart and very unusual looking. There are several puppies and of course, Black Labs along with a Chocolate Lab, and a Yellow Lab with a broken spirit. Please give hope to these dogs that somehow ended up on death row through no fault of their own.

A very special thank you to Melissa, a new local volunteer who jumped right in and has helped to pull, transport, and foster. Also, to one of our long distance volunteers Trish from Minnesota who continues to coordinate rescues, transports, and so much more! Without their support and that of other volunteers we could not make a difference in the lives of the many animals that come through the doors of Roicy. And to you, thank you to the rescues and individuals that continue to care about and help these wonderful animals.
