ASPCA Pet of the Week: Join Macy's Parade

MacyJust call her MacGyver—you know, that extremely resourceful secret agent on TV! “Macy can make a toy out of just about anything,” says Katie Watts, ASPCA Feline Behavior Counselor. A simple item such as a food dish or a paper towel roll has been known to bring her hours of entertainment!

Dubbed Leader of the Band by our behaviorists, Macy isn’t content to sit around and twiddle her paws. In her spare time she likes to play, run, jump…and play some more. In between sprints, the two-year-old girl takes quick breaks to lie on her side for a rub—then it’s back to her self-conjured adventures. “She is very high-energy and needs lots of extra playtime, but she sure is entertaining!” says Watts.

This singular feline isn’t fond of other cats and is anxious for more room to roam, despite all of the extra social time our volunteers give her. Macy’s looking for a piece of prime real estate that comes with a loving and devoted human. “A single-cat household with a fun, energetic person is exactly what she needs,” Watts assures us.

If you’d like to shake your sillies out with Macy, please call the ASPCA Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120. To see other animals who are waiting for homes, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.

Hi

As a Brit involved in animal welfare and moving out to work in the United States I thought that this might interest you.

I am informed a stand alone North American version of Dogs Trust will be developed next year according to dogstrust.com. /

Dogs trust in the UK has HRH the Queen as patron and has a history going back 100 years. It will be interested to see who the U.S. patron will be "Mrs Obama" would be my choice, not sure how advanced they are but I do like the idea of The White House Palace connection as it would send out the right message to children re Dog animal welfare.
