As responsible dog parents, it’s incredibly important to keep our four legged friends
as warm as possible. Here are a few tips on keeping your pets warm courtesy of
the American Kennel Club and the Humane Society of the United States.
• Don’t leave your pet outside in the cold for long periods of time. Wind chill
makes days colder than actual temperature readings. Be attentive to your
pet’s body temperature, and limit its time outdoors
• Keep your pet warm, dry and away from drafts. Tiles and uncarpeted areas
may become extremely cold, so make sure to place blankets and pads on
floors in these areas
• Be extra careful when walking or playing with your dog near frozen lakes,
rivers or ponds. Your dog could slip or jump in and get seriously injured
• Short- or coarse-haired pets may get extra cold, so consider a sweater or coat
• Feed your pet additional calories if it spends a lot of time outdoors or is
a working animal. It takes more energy in the winter to keep body
temperature regulated.
Other winter precautions that keep us humans from slipping, sliding and falling
on concrete can be lethal to dogs. Follow these precautions to keep your dogs
healthy and safe from potentially deadly poisons.
• Antifreeze, which often collects on driveways and roadways, is highly
poisonous. Although it smells and tastes good to your dog, it can be lethal.
• Rock salt, used to melt ice on sidewalks, may irritate footpads. Be sure to rinse
and dry your dog’s feet after a walk.
• Be very careful of supplemental heat sources. Fireplaces and portable heaters
can severely burn your pets. Make sure all fireplaces have screens, and
keep portable heaters out of reach.

Marcus Born 6-04-14
Very sweet male tabby. Born with corneal
ulcers, his eyes have a slight milky appearance
and may on occasion need attendtion, but
he’s happy-go-lucky in spite of it ... playful and
friendly and just a great guy. Won’t you open
your heart and home to Marcus? He’s current
on lab work and vaccinations. His $65 adoption fee includes neutering as well.
Peaches Born 12-12-07
Sweet, spayed long hair Jack Russell Terrier,
recently arriving at ARF when her owner could
no longer care for her. She’s extremely shy and
will need time to adjust. Best if she’s the “one
and only” pet and no young children as she
startles easily. She’s a girl who loves routine
and has great manners. Her adoption fee is
$65 and she is current on all vaccinations.

Meet Ann and Andy … two very lucky blind kittens who were the focus of efforts
of three separate animal welfare agencies, working together to be sure these siblings
stayed together and were adopted into the very best home to suit their special needs. The
kittens, born without eyelids, arrived via Animal Control of Cape May County at the local
animal shelter, and so their journey began.
After receiving surgical care to repair as well as possible their eye problems, and to spay
and neuter the growing kittens, Judy Davies-Dunhour, director of the Cape May County
Animal Shelter and Adoption Center (CMCAS) in Cape May Court House, NJ, knew she
needed to find just the right person to adopt these visually impaired felines. Having
reviewed the application of a potential adopter who resided in South Carolina, DaviesDunhour contacted a former volunteer, Janet Kowalski. Kowalski volunteered for over four
years at CMCAS prior to moving in 2010 to South Carolina.
During Kowalski’s tenure at the CMCAS, Davies-Dunhour transformed the shelter into one
that qualified, under American Humane Society standards, as “no-kill,” in spite of having in
excess of 200 cats and 40 dogs at any given time. Creative adoption promotions, fostering,
and other innovative efforts guarantee that animals finding themselves in the County
shelter almost without exception are adopted into loving homes.
After relocating, Kowalski continued her volunteer efforts with a small non-profit, no-kill
shelter, Animal Rescue Fund of South Carolina (ARF) in Seneca, SC. ARF was created when
a thriving veterinary practice, FoxNest Veterinary, decided to assist clients who could no
longer keep their animals, by finding those pets new homes. ARF annually rehomes about
350 dogs and cats, and an occasional rabbit or bird.
Davies-Dunhour was inquiring if Janet lived anywhere near Spartanburg, SC, the location of
an applicant wanting to adopt the kittens. That would be Nancy Dischler, a retired school
teacher who reinvented herself as a proponent of TNR (trap-neuter-release), forming a
non-profit agency known as Look Homeward Kitty. For a number of years, Dischler used
her own retirement funds to cover the cost of spay/neuter procedures for community (also
known as feral) cats in and around Spartanburg. Eventually, she approached Major Steve
Lamb, a local animal control officer and he came on board to coordinate efforts with a
number of agencies to reduce the population of unaltered cats. Friendlier cats are adopted
into loving homes through the additional efforts of Look Homeward Kitty.
Since they already had a trip planned to visit relatives in NJ, Janet and her husband,
Dave, picked up Ann and Andy from the CMCAS, ensconced in a kitty condo complete
with a brand new bed and everything they needed for safe, comfortable transport. The
staff of CMCAS gathered to wish them a fond farewell, and off they all went, headed for
Spartanburg. After a day’s travel, Ann and Andy were welcomed with open arms and heart
by Nancy, who has other blind cats and who adopted Ann and Andy as personal pets.
14
Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the Cape May County Animal Shelter, Animal Rescue
Fund, and Look Homeward Kitty, Ann and Andy will be able to live their lives in a safe and
loving environment … and that’s a win any way you look at it!

Animal Shelter, where Kowalski used to volunteer. Ann and Andy will join several other blind
cats that Dischler has adopted, and live out their lives in a loving home.
