Purrfect Endings...

It warms our hearts when a former adopter decides to expand and add another fur-baby to the family. We are so pleased that Jingle will join Chorizo and Calamity, her former playmates that were adopted this past July, and wish Chris Thaxton three times the love and precious memories we know they will share.

Clinic Update...

Our apologies for being so quiet here on Facebook, but as you can imagine we have been extremely busy getting the future spay/neuter clinic space ready and equipped.

We've had a few unexpected set-backs, but more importantly a few blessings that are helping us overcome them. However, these developments mean our timeline to begin services has changed. Here's a breakdown of what has happened and what to expect:

Some of our first hurdles were rotting interior walls that had to be torn down and replaced, then some plumbing issues, and just when we thought we had everything back on track we realized the task of cleaning and repainting the interior perimeter brick walls were beyond our capabilities if we wanted them completed within our lifetime. Luckily we were blessed with skilled volunteers and the assistance of inmate crews from the Jasper County Sheriff's Department to keep us going.

However, we recently faced with our biggest challenge yet when the air handling unit of the central HVAC system broke down. We brought in fans and a small portable AC, and struggled to carry on with painting and refinishing floors in the heat of summer but the conditions were understandably just too much for most of our volunteers, myself included.

Fortunately, we have business leaders who see the value in what we are trying to do for this community and they have offered their support and assistance. Billy Wilford, of Doug Wilford and Sons, Inc., donated a new air handling unit, which was just installed last week. And, the management team at Lowes Home Improvement just informed us that our organization has been selected for their Hometown Heroes award this year and they will be providing some of the equipment still needed and sending a team of professionals on the first of next month to help us get back on track.

Our timeline to begin services will be delayed, but not as much as they could have been without the preseverance and assistance previously mentioned. We will make a formal announcement once we are confident that all hurdles have been overcome, but tentatively expect to begin accepting appointment applications around October 15th with service dates to begin November. Services will offered one Saturday per month, which we hope to expand as we acquire more volunteer veterinary staff in the future. More details will be made available in the forthcoming formal announcement in a few weeks.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience.

Kitten Alert...

Three stray kittens found left at a vacant house in Nederland, Texas are in need of homes.

For more details, please contact Suzette Tomlin at 409-728-3859.

Congratulations to two of our sweet furbabies, Chorizo and Calamity, that were adopted together this past month. It warms our hearts when kennel mates are able to continue to live and play together in their new furever homes. We want to wish Chris Thaxton many years of love and precious memories.

Rehoming Alert...

An 85 year old senior resident is unfortunately no longer able to care for her beloved cat Milo and would like to find him a home where he will continue to be cherished and loved. Milo is a 1 year 2 month old male, gray tabby. He has been neutered and kept up to date on his vaccinations at Jasper Animal Hospital. Very sweet disposition, well mannered, and is an excellent senior companion cat (doesn't get underfoot or pose a trip hazard). If you can open your heart and home to this precious baby please contact Frances Wood (409) 594-7483 or Deanna Swinney (409) 698-6786.

Rehoming Alert...

The rescuers of these two homeless puppies are having to relocate and cannot continue caring for them. If you can open your heart and home to either of these sweet puppies please contact Erin Short (409) 336-7841 as soon as possible.

Bingo is a black and white male Border Collie mix that has been fully vetted, but has not yet been neutered. He was found being given away outside Walmart in terrible condition, but has since been growing into a healthy and happy puppy under the care of his rescuers. He's very sweet, smart and energetic.

Benji is a stray intact male tan and white Shih Tzu that was found on the side of Highway 62 last year that no one ever came forward to claim. He is very sweet, loves children, enjoys playing outside, and has a fun personality. He doesn't enjoy grooming and currently doesn't walk well on a leash, but with the right person and patience has the potential for improvement.

Clinic Update...

As you all know we are working on cleaning up Dr. Kahla's old veterinary practice building in Beech Grove to use for a low-cost community spay/neuter clinic that we plan to open in September of this year.

We still have a ways to go to get the space in tip top shape, but wanted to give a shout out to the Jasper County Sheriff's Department for lending us a hand. Specifically, we wish to thank Captain Bryan Marshall and his crew of trustee inmates for pitching in to help us give the interior a fresh coat of paint. We have been struggling to get everything needed accomplished in a timely manner to reach our goal date for opening and their hard work has helped us tremendously. The crew will be returning to help us over the next few weeks so for those who stopped by the other day or might be concerned by the sheriff's vehicle in the parking lot in the future we wanted to make sure you knew what is going on.

Again, thank you Sheriff Havard, Captain Marshall, and all the wonderful support provided by the Jasper County Sheriff's Department! We will keep you posted as we continue to progress towards the grand opening of the Kahla Memorial Humane Services Clinic.

Missing Cat Alert...

Have you seen him? He went missing from the Pine Street area in Jasper on Tuesday and his family would like him to come home. If you have any information as to his whereabouts please contact Brittany Byerly

Rehoming Alert...

Two male coonhounds, named Brown Dog and White Dog, were dumped as puppies in 2020 and taken in by an elderly gentleman who at 86 years old is now unfortunately having to be rehomed himself into an Assisted Living facility. He would very much like to see his boys go to a good home, hopefully together if possible. Both dogs are up to date on all their vaccinations and have been neutered. They are really well behaved and dog friendly, but do not do well with cats. If you are able to open your hearts and home to one or both of these sweet pups, please contact Nancy Webster ((281) 932-8413.
