The Keys Weekly family loves animals as much as our friends at the Florida Keys SPCA do, and we’re honored to welcome to our pages some “furever” friends that are available for adoption at the organization’s Key West campus.
From cats and dogs to Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, reptiles and birds, the perfect addition to your family is waiting for you. The SPCA’s knowledgeable staff will help with advice and care tips while working to ensure each pet is a good fit.
The SPCA’s Golden Paw program also provides special assistance with vet bills and medications for special-needs and older animals that require a little extra TLC.
Check these pages each week for just a few of the animals waiting for a home.
And the SPCA tells one its favorite recent stories of a local couple, Geoff and Cecily, who adopted a skittish cat named Pansy: “Cecily now reports, ‘She’s a completely different cat. She’s still a bit skittish at times, but every day she comes out of her shell a little more. She sleeps on top of the bed on the pillows now and doesn’t run away when we come into the room. She welcomes pets and loves ear rubs. … She and our other cat, Mario, are best buds. It’s funny because he’s a solid chunk of cat, and Pansy is the most dainty thing. She shoves her head in his face for him to lick, and he grabs her. They play all the time. They sleep together. It’s so heartwarming. I feel so lucky that we got the chance to give her a chance.’”
