Enter the #RememberTheRescue Contest That Helps Orphan Pets

From Remember Me Thursday creator and Helen Woodward Animal Center CEO, Mike Arms, "Unnecessary euthanasia of pets has to stop. And the only way it's going to stop is showing the public that we, collectively, can do something to make a difference."

While Cody WAS adopted, he was luckier than many other cats. He had an incredible foster Mother who loved and nurtured him, and helped influence the loving cuddle bug that he is today. Millions of other animals aren't as lucky as Cody was. Many are waiting in shelters for days, months, years and even their entire lives, to find their forever homes, and MANY NEVER DO.  Now, after the devastating hurricanes in Texas and Florida, even MORE ANIMALS are going to be faced with the prospect of dying in shelters!!  Remember Me Thursday® is right around  the corner! It's time to start preparing!!

“Oakland County has so many homeless pets so we are just trying to do our part to find them good homes,” said Addy Shattuck, owner of Pet Supplies Plus in Bloomfield Hills.  “We are pleased to be working with Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center, and invite families to consider a new feline family member.  We will have a huge selection of just about every type of cat imaginable.”

New executive director of Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center, Bob Gatt, will join the event.  (We’re not sure if he will be wearing his PJs!)  Shoppers can also see Kitty City, the area’s first open environment catadoption center opened by the Bloomfield Hills Pet Supplies Plus in 2011.
