Coming to the Stage: Mookie & Tampa

Mookie
Tampa

Greetings Animal Lovers, 
I'd like to introduce you to two friends, Mookie and Tampa who were brought into the Tampa Humane Society together on September 23, 2012.  Both females are roughly a year old but Tampa is the eldest by a month. Mookie (upper photo) is classified as a domestic long hair mix, therefore shedding will have to be taken into consideration when adopting.  Long haired cats do an okay job cleaning their own coat, but it's suggested to help them as little as once a week with a brush/comb out. Mookie also has allergies with fleas. When her previous owners started caring for her she in fact did have fleas, therefore her skin appears irritated towards her bottom due to scarring from about a year ago. Tampa (lower photo) is a domestic short hair mix, so shedding wouldn't be that big of an issue and she can maintain her coat by herself.  She also has a small physical difference in her left eye which was checked and considered something she was born with, and has absolutely no effect on her vision or well being.  Both of these ladies are spayed, liter trained and very adoptable. For only 50$ you can adopt one of these pets with all necessary shots and vaccines, and a microchip embedded in their neck to identify owners in case they get lost or stolen.  

Although these cats were not abused I wanted to do my first animal feature on them because of my interest in their story. Mookie and Tampa were surrendered to the Humane Society by a loving family who had recently adopted two young children.  One of the children has an upper respiratory disease and because of this the family was advised by the adoption agency to get rid of their three cats, one of which has already been adopted.  The remaining two cats don't have to be adopted together, but if you have room for two these ladies are a perfect pair since they already get along.  If your located around the Tampa Bay area and would like to adopt one or both of these animals feel free to stop by and meet them. The shelter is located on 3607 N. Armenia Ave in Tampa, Florida.  The contact number is (813) 876-7138 and the shelter is open Tuesday and Wednesday 12-7:30pm, and Thursday through Sunday 12-5:00.  Mookie and Tampa are waiting for you!
