Critter Magazine TM is an animal adoption publication
dedicated to improving the quality of life for animals by
promoting awareness, and by showcasing homeless
animals who are in need of loving homes. Although the
majority of animals profiled are dogs and cats, we will
feature any animal in need of adoption.
We publish the first Thursday of each month and
distribute in Clarke, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Madison, Jackson, Elbert and Barrow Counties. Advertising and editorial
deadline is the last Thursday of the month.
We welcome any comments and suggestions, as well as
informative articles and stories which are relevant to our
goals.Subscriptions are available for $24 per year. Critter TM
cannot screen either potential adopters or animals. We
urge all parties to be responsible in these matters.

Beautiful neutered male Siamese-Tabby mix with
blue eyes and pink nose. Really sweet and affectionate toward humans, but does not get along with
other cats. He loves to be touched and would be a
wonderful companion for someone who wants only
one cat! We would love to keep him, but we have 3
others! He gets along fine with our dogs. He is current on shots and monthly Frontline, uses a litter box
and has lots of love to give! Call (404) 403-2167 to
meet him.

How to make Herbal Oils and Salves for your Pet
To make an oil infusion, such as an oil for treating
ear infections or in preparation for salve-making,
you can use the stove, an oven, the sun or an electric cooker. Although any carrier oil can be used,
olive oil is one of the most medicinal choices.
heat and light. Stored correctly, oils can last for
years, though most herbalists prefer to make them
annually for maximum freshness. Note that these
oils are for external use only. Discard any oil that
becomes rancid.
Fresh chopped garlic and fresh or dried mullein
blossoms are traditional ingredients in ear oils for
dogs, cats and humans, especially children. Use
either or any combination of both. Cover the plant
material with olive oil and heat it gently in the top of
a double boiler above simmering water or in a
closed glass jar set on a rack in a pan of simmering
water for one to two hours or longer. If using dry
herbs, additional oil may be needed as the plant
matter absorbs it. Use enough oil to cover the
herbs well but not so much that your result is weak
and ineffective. Start with 2 cups oil to 1 cup dried
herbs and adjust the proportions as desired. Fresh
herbs, which should be allowed to wilt before using,
will absorb less liquid, so simply cover them with oil.
To turn an herbal oil into an herbal salve, just add
beeswax. One of the best all-purpose salves you
can make begins with the favorite infused oil above
(St. John's wort, Calendula blossoms and Comfrey
leaf). This basic salve recipe includes 1 cup of the
infused oil, 1/2 teaspoon tea tree oil, 1/4 teaspoon,
grapefruit seed extract, 10 drops lavender essential
oil and 1 ounce beeswax. Combine ingredients in a
double boiler or over very low heat until the beeswax
has melted. Test the salve by placing a spoonful in
the refrigerator. As soon as it hardens, check to be
sure the salve is soft but not runny. If it's too soft,
add more beeswax; if too hard, add more oil. Pour
into clean baby food jars or other appropriate containers.
To make a solar infusion, let fresh plant material
wilt slightly to reduce its water content, then loosely
pack a clean glass jar with fresh herbs (or fill a jar
half way with loosely packed dried herbs), then fill it
to the top with oil, clean the top of the jar so that no
oil or plant material interferes with a tight seal, put
the lid on tight and leave the jar in the hot sun for
several weeks or months. A favorite oil for salvemaking is a blend of fresh St. John's wort blossoms,
calendula blossoms and chopped, wilted comfrey
that stays outdoors from July through October. The
unusually potent healing properties of this oil, which
the St. John's wort colors a deep red, are probably
due to its prolonged photosynthesis.
This antiseptic, analgesic, soothing salve speeds the
healing of cuts, burns and other wounds. Cats tend
to dislike the fragrance of tea tree and lavender, and
many dogs are attracted to the olive oil in the salve
and lick it off as fast as you put it on, which may present a logistical problem! This mixture is not harmful
if swallowed in small amounts (but do keep the animals and children away when you have the separated ingredients in the cooking process); in fact, this
type of salve can be used on the sore nipples of a
nursing mother without harming her puppies or kittens. Even if the salve stays in place for only a short
time, it will speed the healing of most skin conditions.
Another way to infuse herbs in oil is to use the
oven. Pour olive oil over fresh or dried herbs in a
stainless steel pan, cover with foil and bake at low
heat (200 degrees to 250 degrees) for two or more
hours. Check the pan from time to time to prevent
scorching or burning. The oil is "done" when it
takes on the color and fragrance of the
herbs. Electric turkey roasters, slow cookers (crock
pots) and other heat sources also work well.

Care, a pet sitting service.)
When ready to use, strain the oil through cheesecloth and add a few drops of tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract as a disinfecting preservative. Pour into a clean glass jar, label with ingredients and date of preparation and store away from

Duke is a male lab mix approximate 5 -6 months old. He's had
a horrible start in life having been a hit an run case and left in a
ditch for several days before found. He suffered head trauma
and has lost the sight in one eye and limited vision in the
other. He also was unable to walk a straight line but now is
doing great with that. He's like any other pup as far as energy
and playing but still needs a little more healing and someone to
love him. He's a very very sweet and happy boy. Fence required. Pup and Cat Co. (770) 867-1622.

Help Us Stop The Killing!
The Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter located next to the transfer
station on Colbert-Danilesville Road in Danielsville has an in-house
spay-neuter clinic open to serve the general public for low-cost sterilization of puppies, kittens, dogs and cats. As a shelter we deal with
thousands of unwanted and stray animals every year, many of whom
don’t find homes. You can help cut down on those numbers by sterilizing your pets. We understand that the expense of having this done is
often a factor so we offer drastically reduced prices on all sterilizations. We do pediatric sterilizations on puppies and kittens as young as
eight weeks of age. Call Today to schedule your appointment- (706)

Georgia Equine Rescue
P.O. Box 787 • Locust Grove, GA 30248
(770) 464-0138
As sad as it is to imagine, there are many horses in Georgia needing
loving homes just as there are cats, dogs, and other “pets”. The problem stems from “over breeding” and a lack of understanding of the requirements for care of these wonderful animals.
Thanks to Georgia laws that protect horses, mules, and donkeys
from starvation and other forms of abuse, the Georgia Department of
Agriculture has the authority to impound equine that are in a critical
situation in accordance with the Georgia Humane Care for Equine Act.
Impounded animals are rehabilitated and many are sold at public auction to new owners which, hopefully, give them a second chance at a
comfortable and useful life.
Auctions are held at frequent intervals as horses become available.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture provides information about each
animal and the auction location on their website at
www.agr.georgia.gov. New owners are requested to enter into an
agreement that the equine may be monitored for one to two years after
the sale.
The Georgia Equine Rescue League, Inc. offers horses for adoption.
These are horses which are donated to GERL for a variety of reasons
by people who find that they are no longer able to care for them. There
is a small “adoption fee” for these horses and they are monitored by
GERL for a period of time until it is determined that the horse and the new
owner are a good match.
A current listing of available horses
through Georgia Equine Rescue League
may be found in their monthly newsletter
or on their web site at www.gerlltd.org.

My name is Tess, I am a mature girl.
I enjoy days spent lounging on the couch.
My favorite thing to do is eat. I will eat
anything. I am housebroken, though I do
have an accident on occation. I love attention from my humans. I get along well with
other animals, although I'm a little nervous
around big dogs. I don't like to be alone, I
would like to have another dog or cat
around if no humans are home. I get a
little seperation anxiety if I'm alone. I don't
like to get wet, don't want to go outside if it
is raining!! I'm so sweet I just may melt.
Baths are not fun at all, I behave, but I
don't like it. I hope to find a home with lots
of love and lots of food!! You can contact

Disaster Rescue Animal Relief
Bill Koehike and Sue Jordan, (706) 546-0433
On behalf of D.R.A.R, we want to thank our Mayor,
Heidi Davison for Brining up the serious problem of
feral cats in Athens Clarke County. She worked very
hard and took a lot of heat from the “Cat haters’ but
Trap Neuter Return was approved by the county commissioners. Only one commissioner voted against
T.N.R.
The colonies will have to be registered, and organized
groups are now legally qualified to trap.
Our thanks also go to all the commissioners and their
staff, who took the time to look into the feral cat problem and did a lot of research with other states and
counties to see how their programs were working.
Speaking of “Cat haters”, these people were trapping
stray and feral cats and taking them to the humane
society and having them euthanized saying they were
the owners. The Humane Society as you know got out
of the feral cat business, thanks to these people. Not
one of these cat haters stated “where and how” many
birds were killed by feral cats.
nations to be used for other type of vet visits and the medicine.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us now that the TNR
program is finally approved here in Athens. We thank
those that have contributed cat food and money to our
Victims of Human Beings. We need to also work on an
educational program to get the word out about spay and
neuter.
To make a tax deductible donation of monetary value
and / or a food donations or if you would be interested in
adopting a cat or kitten call us. Donations can be dropped
off or mailed to: DRAR c/o Pet Supply Plus, 191 Alps Rd
Athens Ga, Phone 706-353-0650 or call us at 706-5460433.
In six and half years, Bill can testify that he has never
seen a deal bird or any other animal other than a dead
rat. Feral cats are rodent hunters. One person, who
took in 32 feral cats on her farm, will tell you that her
rodent problem ceased with the feral cats and has not
seen any dead birds. All of us dealing with the cats
love the wildlife. You don’t do away with one species
for the benefit of another!
Bill found a beautiful white female cat in a sewer entrance at a feeding station. It appeared dead, but it
was pretty sick. She had a lot of blood on her back; we
thought she may have been hit by a car. We took her
to the vet and they examined her and said it was
caused by an infestation of fleas. Her ears were
loaded with ear mites. All tests were given and she
tested okay, nothing broken. She has since been given
flea medicine along with an antibiotic, so she should
be okay in a week or so. She is resting and eating like
a little horse. If anyone is missing a white cat, please
let us know. No question, this cat was dumped at this
location.
Who ever has been leaving bags of dry food for us at
Pet Supply Plus for our feral cats, “Thank you” so very
much. This helps us a lot.
We still need farms, ranches or people with outdoor
buildings to take our cats. They are “fixed” and given
their shots. They make great cats at these locations
and all we ask is to feed them and give fresh water
daily. They do great in pairs.
Donations are still welcome as we have 3 cats on
medicine and kitten season is upon us. Already we see
one kitten and a mommy. We still need monetary do-
