Saturaday, Oct 16 - National Feral Cat Day

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Feral Cat Day helps to remind our community that Trap‐Neuter‐Return (TNR) and other humane programs for feral cats are in the best interest of the cats and the community. Please keep this in mind as you enjoy your day.

Free Cat & Rabbit Adoptions for One Week...

...at the League (Animal Welfare League of Arlington)! To ease overcrowding for the cats already waiting for homes and make room for new cats and kittens coming in to their shelter every day, they are offering free adoptions of all cats at least one year old and $50 kitten adoptions from October 9-17. All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All rabbit adoptions are also free during that same week. Won't you come meet a pet who needs you today?


If you are in the market for a furry friend (like Bowie, above), we highly encourage you to check them out.

Rescued Cheverly kittens available for adoption

Because of strong dedication and great persistence by some of our wonderful town residents, these two ADORABLE kittens were rescued from a hard life of living on the streets. They're a couple of months old and both are social, happy and healthy. The black one is still a bit shy at first, but warms up quickly.

If you're interested in finding out more about these kitties or even meeting them, please contact cheverlycarneys@gmail.com.





We'd also like to recognize the devotion and effort of everybody involved in helping to TNR the feral mother of these two. So far this year, several wonderfully committed volunteers have stepped forward to assist, coordinate and TNR other neighborhood feral cats. We should also extend a big thanks to those that stepped up to foster, market and adopt out several homeless Cheverly cats and kittens.

We still have a long way to go, but it's great to see so many involved in reducing the homeless and feral cat population of our town. If anybody else is interested in helping in this matter, please use the Contact Us button to let us know. We're building a coalition!

URGENT: Cats in need of new home immediately!

A fellow Cheverly resident will be moving overseas soon to work for a US embassy in Africa. Unfortunately, their two cats cannot come along. They've been trying to find a no-kill shelter or someone to adopt them, with no success. Moskowicz is a male orange tabby and Velvet is a solid dark gray female with green eyes. They are siblings and the preference is to keep them together if at all possible. They are approx. 5 years old, spayed/neutered and are up to date with all vaccinations. They are NOT declawed, as they currently spend about half their time outside. Both are very affectionate, and have lived with dogs their entire life.

Please contact Chris at pinga245@yahoo.com if you or somebody you know is interested. Urgency is needed as the owner departs for Africa in the first weekend of October.
