Meet Bubba! This week’s Animal Shelter Society Pet of the Week – WHIZ

ZANESVILL,E OH – This week’s Pet of the Week is stealing hearts at the Animal Shelter Society.

Meet Bubba! He is a 3 year old domestic long haired cat, up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and ready to go home forever.

April Gibson, executive director of the Animal Shelter Society, says Bubba is selective around cats, so a meet and greet is a must if you have another cat in the home.

She says one of the things they will look for in potential adopters is a dedicated groomer for Bubba.

“Of course you have to have a vet, but we’re also going to make sure you can handle the grooming.” Gibson said. “You’re going to be briefed on grooming because this long haired, kitten definitely can’t be outside right now, it would be so hot. There are certain areas you want to keep trimmed for obvious reasons, so as not to harm them and maintain their health.

Gibson said they had an amazing week at the animal shelter.

The Nestlé-Purina Petcare Company had over 40 employees volunteer to work on 4 major projects at the shelter over a 2 day period.

Gibson said it was great to bring some community partners together to make a positive impact.

“What’s really cool is they just didn’t do these service projects that we really can’t afford as a 100% nonprofit, we were able to educate them . » said Gibson. “Any opportunity we have to educate about what we do, why we do it, how we do it and that we are a 100% non-profit, adopt-out, no-kill shelter. not, you know we benefit from it. .”
