Every Sunday and Wednesday,

Heartland Humane Society receives an e-mail list of adorable cats, kit-

tens, puppies and dogs who are at risk of being euthanized if they are

not adopted or rescued by their re-

lease date. This list comes from a shelter that has a high kill rate.

Heartland, along with several other dedicated rescues, has been able to

save many of these animals this year. However we are to the point

where we cannot take any more

unless we find homes for the ones that are currently in our care.

Ashlynne is one such kitty. She came from a shelter in April and ob-

viously was someone’s pet at some

point. She is very sweet and loves attention from people, but she can

be a bit bossy with other cats so she would do best in a home where she

can be the only kitty. Nellie, a darling Whippet mix dog

was also rescued by Heartland after

her owners surrendered her. She is very loving and gives gentle kisses,

but she can be a bit shy in new situations until she warms up.

Micah is another example. We

rescued him, along with several kitty

friends, just days before they were

to be put down. He is an awesome kitty and loves everyone that he

meets, including other cats. It is very frustrating and emotion-

ally draining to know that there are

animals out there you cannot save, especially when you visit a kill shel-

ter and see their faces. Their im-ages are imprinted on our minds for

a very long time. It’s difficult to not become burned out sometimes, but

we keep trudging on because saving

even one animal’s life makes all the difference in the world to that one

animal. And nothing is more re-warding than seeing the gratitude

and happiness on the faces of the

pets that we have helped. That is exactly why spaying and

neutering your pets is so important! Millions of innocent cats and dogs

die needlessly every year because their owners failed them.

Equally as important is adopting

your next pet from a shelter or res-cue group rather than buying them

from a breeder or pet store. There are so many wonderful pets out

there, many of which are purebred,

Mama Mia! Do We Have Mamas!

Every rescue group has the same

challenges with adult fosters. Every-one wants to adopt cute puppies and

kittens, while we struggle to find permanent placement for older dogs

and cats. We take in pregnant crit-

ters and unwanted/abandoned adults, patiently waiting for the right

prospective adopter to come along. And we wait, and wait, and wait!

Many of these critters are outgoing

and friendly. Some have the curse of being black, and many are shy

and just need a little time and pa-

tience to adjust. Others simply need a special food or simple accommoda-

tion to be the perfect pet, while quite a few of these critters just

want to be an only pet.

Kitten and puppy season is upon us and we are filling up with preg-

nant mamas, knowing full well their

offspring will be adopted almost as soon as they are weaned—but we

will be challenged to find homes for the mamas! Foster homes need to

be patient, but sometimes the frus-tration gets to us! Please consider

not just adopting the puppy or kitten

but their mamas as well! —Cheri L., HHS volunteer

Padme: Two years and still waiting!

We have had adult dogs and cats waiting for several

years for the love of a family to make them whole.

Rescuing Pets from Kill Shelters

I am so happy to share news of a success story that took years to happen. Degan was one of our longest fosters. This big black lab/pit mix waited years for a home of her own. Due to her size, color and breed, she was overlooked time and time again while other dogs were adopted. Well, Degan finally got her chance and is now in her own home! Nothing could quite describe our feelings when we received an email showing pictures of Degan happily lying on the couch and playing with toys in the yard with her new family. Her new family tells how happy she is and how much she enjoys giving kisses. Seeing Degan so happy after such a long wait in foster care is the best payback we could ever ask for.

Rescue is a bittersweet job. There are times when you become so angry and disappointed in mankind as you look into the scared eyes of an animal and know how some people treat them. Then you forget that anger as the animals quickly forgive mankind for the abuses and neglect they may have suffered and gaze at you with love and grateful-ness for rescuing them. Nothing can compare with the happiness we feel when we get to let them go to a loving and happy home.

It’s Bake Sale Time!

What’s better than a tasty baked treat? Get-ting your sweet tooth fix AND helping animals in need! Heartland is once again holding sum-mer bake sales at Schnucks stores to help raise funds for our foster critters. We have cakes, pies, cookies, muffins, bread and even homemade dog biscuits. We also welcome volunteers to bake for our sales. If interested, contact 636-922-0569. But hurry! We only have one summer bake sale left:

Heartland’s biggest fundraiser of the year is coming this fall—Trivia Night 2013 will highlight our fall activities and fun! Watch for date, location and other details in our e-newsletter, “Heartland Chronicles,” or visit our website at www.hhsrescueorg. Then join us for a great trivia game, silent auction, raffles and good fun as we raise medical funds for our rescued dogs and cats.

Meet Jasper—Special Needs Maine Coon Mix Jasper is a beautiful 6-year-old black and white Maine Coon mix. He was dumped at a kill shelter as a very sick kitty, and his former owner did not let anyone know he was a diabetic cat and needed daily insulin shots! Maine Coons are larger kitties, and Jasper only weighed five pounds when his foster mommy rescued him. She worked hard at getting him healthy again and in the process figured out he needed medical treatment. As you can see from his picture, Jasper is a healthy, happy kitty now! He takes his Lantus shots twice a day, and only gives mom grief if she takes too long. He weighs around 13 lbs., which is where he should be. Jasper loves to be brushed and sits in your lap. He gives lovely kitty hugs and purrs to let you know how much he cares. His foster mom has no idea what terri-ble things he’s been through in life, but he has a serious fright of dogs. So he cannot be adopted to a home with dogs. Jasper does well with other kitties, especially the girls and docile males. Please consider giving Jasper a forever home!

“Whiskers and Wine” Event

Calling all wine enthusiasts! Heartland Humane Society will be teaming up with Ren-dezvous Café & Wine Bar (www.rendezvouscafeandwinebar.com) in OFallon for a wine and hor d’oeuvres tasting event on Thursday, October 24, at 6:30 pm.

A portion of the sales from this event will go toward helping our adoptable cats and dogs. Please contact Julie at 314/497-1329 or e-mail juliebauman727@gmail.com for more information or to re-serve your seats today!

Jamie Lee: This kitty is from Farmington, MO and was surrendered because her owner

was entering a skilled nursing facility. Jamie Lee will hiss and scream at seeing other crit-ters so there was no way extended family could acclimate her into their homes with other

pets! Jamie Lee does not act aggressive—just makes a lot of noise! She is 5 years old, front declawed and had her teeth cleaned by our vet. Did I mention she is deaf? 80% of

pure white kitties with blue eyes are completely deaf. Jamie Lee appears to be a Persian

mix and is soft as silk She is quite affectionate and loves brushing, back scratching, canned food and a comfy bed, but her days of rowdy play are gone. She is very quiet, calm and an

excellent companion. Jamie Lee is eager to find a new best friend!

Special Needs

Dogs and Cats

a hoarding situation and is fearful and skittish, but

when his foster mom touches him, he melts like

butter. Loves brushing.

Needs a calm, quiet and patient home. A male

owner is a plus.

5 yrs., 20 lbs. Neeko is shy when he meets you

but warms up as he gains trust. He has become a

sweet, friendly dog in his

foster home. Loves toys, treats.

.

Jack: Shih Tzu, 5 yrs.,

very friendly, happy little dog. Owner going into

hospital and wife couldn’t care for him. Jack knows

basic obedience training,

currently enrolled in agility classes. Great companion.

Minnie: 5 yr. old female

boxer, 45 lbs. Minnie has a dry eye that just needs

over-the-counter drops. Other than that, she is in

perfect health. Pretty black

and white coat. Loves her toys and is house trained.

Was heartworm positive, but has been treated and

cured and is anxious to meet his new family! Likes

dogs, ignores cat. Loves

toys, treats and cuddling. Chihuahua mix.

Dellie: Gray torbie, brown

developed a callus and gets around fine. Loves

brushing, nuzzling and

cuddling. Best as only cat in a quiet home. 2 yrs.

Rosie: 4 yrs., 34 lbs.

Loves people and loves riding in the car! Rosie is

house trained. However, she is terrified of storms

so will need an under-

standing family who will occasionally let her hide in

the closet.

Shawn: Shepherd mix,

6 yrs., 60 lbs. Very well-mannered while walking

on a leash. A happy dog with a big smile. Doesn’t

show well at PetSmart, so

is advertised on our web-site and has waited a

long time for his home!

www.hhsrescue.org Heartland Humane Society Page 4

Zoey: 12 years old but

young at heart! Zoey is a gorgeous, vivacious and

high-strung princess. No other animals or kids, as

she wants the spotlight.

Loves brushing and pet-ting. Starving for your at-

tention! Maine Coon mix.

FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, a lentivirus which moves very slowly and eventually weakens a cat’s immune system. It is thought to be transmitted from cat to cat through deep bite wounds, rather than by casual con-

tact. FIV cannot be passed to humans or other animals. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy lives. Many live well into their teens. According to the American Association of Feline Practitioners guidelines, euthanasia should not be based on

whether or not a cat tests positive. Consult your veterinarian for more information if you plan to own an FIV cat.

Myth: If my cat tests FIV+, that means he/she has the FIV virus. Fact: False positives are very common in FIV tests. It is recommended that results be confirmed using a second type of FIV test. Keep in mind that cats who have been

vaccinated for FIV will forever test positive. An FIV+ mother will have kittens that test positive for the first few months

of life, but very few of these kittens will still test positive after they reach six months of age.

Myth: FIV+ cats cannot be good pets as they will be sick and have an early death. Fact: FIV tests determine pres-ence of the virus, not presence of disease. FIV+ cats can live long, healthy lives. In some studies, many FIV- cats died

from various sources while FIV+ cats lived longer. Many caring individuals adopt and successfully maintain FIV+ felines.

Myth: FIV cannot be cured. Fact: As yet, there is no cure for FIV. However, there is a new treatment called “TCyte” that works to improve the immune system in cats dealing with FIV and Feline Leukemia. Other research is in progress.

Emma: Emma was rescued from a high kill shelter when she was pregnant. She gave birth to 5 beautiful Manx-mix

babies, soon to be available for adoption. Emma enjoys cuddling and will jump on your back if you let her. Very friendly, sweet and beautiful. Loves attention from people. Emma tested positive for the FIV virus.

Hank: Hank is a laid-back, 3- or 4-year-old orange tabby. His “personality plus” makes him an awesome compan-

ion. This gentle giant is a cuddle bug who gives head nuzzles to show how much he loves you. Hank should have many fine years ahead of him. Does fine with other pets and loves kids, too! Well behaved with excellent house manners.

Hank has tested positive for FIV.

Alan: Alan is a 5-year-old orange tabby, very sweet and friendly. He was rescued off the streets of St. Louis in the

Soulard neighborhood. Alan lived with several other cats in an abandoned house that was scheduled to be demolished, so efforts were made to trap the cats and place them with rescue groups. The house was on Alan Street, and that is

how Alan got his name. Alan is FIV positive.

Wendy: Wendy is three years old, brown tabby on white, long-haired female, Norwegian Forest mix. She came to us from a kill shelter in St. Charles. She and her kitten were going to be put down, even though the kitten was only two

weeks old. Then Heartland came to her rescue. Norwegian Forest cats are comfortable around humans and like to ex-plore. Wendy is beautiful and playful. She tested positive for FIV.

(Continued from Cover Page) who need good homes and a chance at life. It is also that time of year dreaded by all rescue groups—KITTEN SEASON! This year has been the worst by far in the

8-plus years that I have been doing rescue. The pleas for help are endless, especially from animal control shelters where intake is a constant and cages are overflowing with stray and unwanted kittens and other pets. Sadly, many of

the pets at these shelters perish simply because there aren’t enough cages or fosters to help them all.

Our fosters assist with as many local shelters as possible to alleviate overcrowding, but try as we might, we can’t save them all. Every Saturday, our devoted fosters load up their vehicles with cats and dogs and take them to adoption

venues in hopes that this day will be their lucky day. Sometimes our efforts pay off and we find the perfect home(s) for our precious fur babies; but many times, we leave feeling discouraged and frustrated. Regardless, the need for rescues/

fosters does not stop despite slow adoptions. — Julie B., HHS Volunteer

rings. Our 8-year-old son is particularly fond of Reiki and his fluffiness and Reiki shows an amazing amount of tolerance to his adoring affection. I just wanted to say thank you for all your help during those first months when things were so tough. Things are going well now, and good health is such a blessing! A special thank you to Cheri for all of her devotion to her foster pets. She made this whole thing possible!” —Courtney T. “I’m writing to let you know how much joy my cat, Lily, (formerly Glinda) brings me. She’s been a light through a really tough time in my life and I love her more than anything. I can’t remember who her foster mother was, but I wanted to thank her for holding onto my cat until I found her. I read that she was saved last minute from a kill shelter and that is heartbreaking to me. Lily is so full of life and energy and love, I can’t imagine a greater tragedy than losing that because of overcrowding. She just loves being alive, like she knows how close she came to losing that opportunity. So I wanted to thank everyone who fosters a pet, or volunteers, or donates. My cat is loved and safe because of all of you, and so are many other pets, and many more in the future.” —Tessa G.

“A few months ago my husband and I adopted a cat from you. He is an orange one-eyed little fella going by the name “Captain Morgan.” We call him Willie. I wanted to write and thank you for sav-ing him. Little Willie was extremely skittish when we first brought him home. He spent a lot of time under different beds, but as time went on his true personality emerged. He made quick buddies with our other cat, Dutch. You can often see them chasing each other, grooming each other, or sleeping together. Willie is quite the lap cat, always looking for a pat. He purrs so loud you wonder how it can come from such a little guy. He loves to make it to the top of the cat tree, even if he’s not so graceful getting down. He makes us laugh for some reason or another every day (mostly because he did something goofy.) I just wanted to thank you for the work you do. It’s because of you Willie is a part of our lives.” —K. Simpson “I am writing to give you an update on our beautiful Tifa, who was being called “Proud Mary” when we adopted her about three years ago. Every day with her is a joy. She is always so content and happy, whether following me around the house as I’m doing chores, or sleeping on my lap while I relax. She enchants everyone who meets her with her laid back personality.

I honestly don’t think there is a person on this planet she doesn’t like. She even enjoyed spending time with my cousin’s toddlers and patiently let them pet her. I feel so lucky to have her in my life. When I get home from work she runs to greet me at the door, and I can’t help but smile as I give her ‘Hello’ ear scratches and pick her up to cart her around for a bit. She loves to be held, though I sus-pect that is because she likes to ride on peo-ple’s shoulders. She thinks ponytails are really fantastic toys! Thank you for her. I simply couldn’t imagine life without her any-more.” —Rachel C. “Armani is the sweetest and friendliest cat! He’s so playful, loving and adorable. Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to adopt him. He’s a great addition to our family!” —Sarah F. “I just wanted to follow up with you regard-ing our cat, Desperado, who we renamed Reiki. He is a marmalade, medium-length- haired stray that we adopted in 2010. We had a ton of health problems with him and his first year with us was rough! He loves to play with our Boxer, especially in the mornings when a good romp is the perfect thing to start the day off right. He also loves chasing milk

ally hear little yowls and low growls, but not from Ben. It’s from another cat be-ing nervous around him because of his

size. Ben’s just sitting there wondering what all the commotion is about. He has two girlfriends, Bridgette and Macy, also fosters, who follow him around the house. So funny to see. One of his fa-vorite things is to stand in my lap, look me in the eye, rub on my face and smear nose prints all over my glasses. His idea of saying “Hi,” I guess. Mike has a super personality, too, but isn’t allowed out in the general popula-tion. He doesn’t get along with my own cat, Buster, so he’s in a large bedroom. He cries when he’s by himself, and gets along very well with young females and kittens. He loves kittens. I could put a dozen kittens in the room with him and he’d be in Heaven. I always make sure he has a young female cat or two with him. A few months ago, I was sitting on

the bed reading. Mike brought me a little pom pom ball. My attention was all on the book, so I threw the ball across the room. Mike ran after it, brought it

Mike and Ben were born at my house three years ago. They didn’t get adopted as little kittens, and they didn’t get adopted as teenagers. Now they’re adults—and very large adults—and they haven’t gotten adopted, simply because they are large and black. While not the largest cats Heartland has, they still weigh an impressive 17-18 pounds. They are not fat, just big. (Well, Mike could stand to lose a couple pounds!) Large black cats with a short, smooth, shiny coat are referred to as “house pan-thers.” Mike and Ben even walk a little differently than other cats. They walk like a big cat at the zoo. I have always had a thing for panthers, ever since I was a girl watching the old Tarzan mov-ies on TV. There was always a mysteri-ous black panther, and I thought they were the most beautiful animals ever. Now, many years later, I have two in my care! They both have great personalities. Ben is loose in the house. I’ll occasion-

back again and dropped it in my hand. We did that for about 20 minutes till my arm got tired. We repeated that every

night for a couple weeks. My husband didn’t believe me until he saw it and took a video. After about a month of retrieving, Mike decided he was done. He’ll chase the ball, but not bring it back. One of those, “You threw it, you go get it” things. I love Mike and Ben, but I hope they do get adopted so someone else can have the pleasure and privilege of shar-ing their home with some very loving house panthers. —Barb B., HHS Volunteer

Dog Fosters Needed!

We are always in need of additional foster homes for dogs. Fostering is a

wonderful opportunity to make a world of difference in the life of a dog, whether it be a cute puppy (or litter of puppies), an energetic young adult or

a calm, older dog. Dogs in need of rescue cover every size, breed and age. Living in a foster home gives a dog the opportunity to learn to be a family pet

and makes the transition to a permanent home much easier. Fostering does

take time, energy, patience and dedication but the rewards are priceless. It can be addictive, once you save a life and know you are really making a dif-

ference! Nothing compares to the love and appreciation a rescued dog will give you. Please consider becoming a foster home! —Lori H., HHS Volunteer
