Elizabeth's Story
Elizabeth is a wonderful little girl who was found living in the streets of Schenectady back in Oct. of 2009. She was “trapped” along with 6 others at that time and has been with us ever since. She is a sweet girl who though not crazy about being carried around is very interested in being pet and “hanging out with you”. Elizabeth would do best as an only pet but can coexist with other cats. Dogs on the other hand are a different story as she has let us know that she will flat out refuse to live with any dogs. She would be great for a senior/quieter home because she is a laid back type of cat and not one to play with children.
Elizabeth's friend Boris has found his new forever home. Now she is currently sharing the office with Anessa and on occasion Storm as well. She will even go as far as sharing with Anessa's babies, Teedra and Theodora. She has come such a long way and though she has made herself at home here with us, we know that she would love to have her own home for the Holidays.

10/2/10: Storm has moved out of her cage! She is free roaming though we still keep her cage set up for her with the door open because she still likes to sleep and eat in it. She is a funny little girl who has stolen the hearts of everyone here. She is really something special. She came to us back in September of 2009 when she was only about six weeks old and we can not believe that no one has come to take her home yet. She gets along with other cats and loves the kittens. Though she would most likely prefer to live without any dogs, she would most likely just avoid if she had to.
If you are interested in meeting our special Storm, please visit our website and fill out the adoption application which is located as the second link down on each page. www.waggintailsny.com Once recieved one of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time. Thank you
Penelope has really come out of her shell. She is about 2+ years old at this time. Having come from the same place as Storm last September of 2009, she was shy and withdrawn when she arrived. She didn't want anything to do with anyone at that time. She is now more "friendly" in the sense that she greets us when we come in and when it is feeding time. However she does seem slightly depressed as she has not found her new home to settle into yet. She would not be appropriate for a home with dogs however if she was to live with one, she would definately let them know that she does not want to play or be best friends. Most likely would ignore. She would do best in a home with children of teenage years or no children. She is not one to be "cuddled" however when she decides she would be happy to hang out with you and visit for a while.
If you are interested in more information or meeting Penelope, please fill out the adoption application which is located as the third link down on the right side of each page of our website. www.waggintailsny.com. Once received, one of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any questions you may have at that time. Thank you.

Moustache & Halfstache's Story
12/13/10: These boys are true blue Hurricane Katrina kitties. They were found in ground zero in Gulfport Mississippi two weeks after the storm at only about five weeks old. At about seven months old they were adopted together to a quite home with no children or other animals. Figured they were spoiled rotten, these boys now find themselves seeking their true forever home due to no fault of their own. To hear more about their story, please feel free to call us to make an appointment to come and meet them. The Stache Brothers are looking forward to meeting you and wish you and yours Happy Holidays and Happy New Year too!!

Hazel is a beautiful 12 year old white, blue eyed pure bread Persian. She recently lost her 13 year old brother and life long companion to cancer. She is really sad and lonesome since this loss and is looking for a good home! She is tolerant of dogs. She is very good with children, but is quite independent. She is an indoor cat, only goes out to the vet and waggin tails for her grooming! And is VERY good for her grooming too. She is declawed and spayed. As well as update on her shots and vacs. Hazel has a very calm mellow demeanor and loves to nap alot! She loves to play with small balls especially with catnip on them! Though she lost her brother, she would prefer to be an "only child" because she does believe that she is a princess. She love attention and would prefer to have it all (or at least mostly) to herself. She would be fine with another cat that is much like her in personality....... doesn't care to play with other cats but would be fine coexisting. Hazel is quite laid back.
If you are interested in more information, or would like to give our beautiful Hazel a new forever home, please fill out the adoption application located on the right side of this page. One of our volunteers will contact you and be able to answer any other questions you may have at that time.
Thank you
