Bonded Cat-Dog Pair in California Seeks Furever Home
I’m reposting this item from SFGate’s excellent “Tails of the City” blog. If you live in Northern California or know someone who does who can adopt this darling duo, please contact the Marin Humane Society (which happens to be one of my fave animal charities). The Marin Humane Society is located in Novato, CA, about 30 minutes north of San Francisco.
Bonded cat-dog duo seeks new home!
Frieda, a two-year old female Chihuahua, and Morgana, a nine-month old female tabby mix, huddled together in a purple backpack last week after they were surrendered to the Marin Humane Society (MHS). Morgana and Frieda are the best of pals.
The unlikely pair are victims of the shaky economic times; Frieda and Morgana’s owner recently lost her home as a result of the financial crisis.
“Frieda and Morgana are best friends, so we want to find them a home where they can be together,” says MHS spokesperson Carrie Harrington. “Bonded pairs of the same species are not unusual. But adopting an already bonded cat-dog pair is rare — and very special.”
MHS began accepting applications for Frieda and Morgana this morning at 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd. in Novato. Shelter hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They will also be open on Easter Sunday. The adoption fee for the pair is $225. Visit the MHS website or call 415.883.4621 for more information about Frieda and Morgana and other animals available for adoption.
Kudos to the Marin Humane Society for working to keep Morgana and Frieda together! As a kitty bonded to a doggie (my sweet Sophie!) myself, I know how important a doggie can be to a kitty and vice versa. Purrs that they find their new home and family, together, soon!
I agree with Lucy! and Frieda just looks like my cat, Wikipedio
These little guys are darling! And you can see thast they have been very well cared for. It must have been so very hard for their pawrent to give them up.
Catzowey! I sent this link to all my furiends in Northern CalEyeFurKneeYah to raise awareness for this adorable doggone meowvalous duo. Let’s PURRay and cross our paws they get a great forever home:)
Puleeze everyone – send the Cat’s Meow link to all you know in Northern California so you can help spread the word to find this duo a home. So get your paws typing!
They are too cute fur words! Let’s hope they find the purrrfect furevfur home!
So sad.
The economy is tearing families apart, killing dreams and breaking hearts…
I purrr they find a great home together and their former mommy gets on her feet.
I want to adopt this pair so much, it hurts! But we already have three pet kids of our own, and not much space, it would be tough. Could someone please comment here if/when they are adopted so I can sleep???
Yes be sure to update us, Skeezix.
I’m worried too.
I’m praying they will be adopted together. To take them from each other would be cruel.
Great news to report! Frieda and Morgana were adopted together by a lovely family in Marin this past weekend!
Thanks, everyone!
