Keys Weekly is thrilled each week to showcase some “furever” friends that are ready, waiting and available for their perfect adoption “match” at the Florida Keys SPCA’s Marathon campus – complete with their best qualities, preferences and turnoffs to ensure the best fit.
From cats and dogs to Guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, reptiles and birds, the perfect addition to your family is waiting for you at one of the SPCA’s two campuses, in Key West and Marathon. The SPCA’s knowledgeable staff will help with advice and care tips while working to ensure a good fit between each pet and its people.
See all the animals waiting for a home at fkspca.org. To contact the Marathon campus, call 305-743-4800 or visit 10550 Aviation Blvd.
Hurricane fosters needed. With hurricane season upon us, the SPCA needs volunteers and fosters in case of a storm. Over 100 animals would need to be evacuated, so it is crucial they all have homes in place before an impending storm. The SPCA provides everything you need; all you do is give an animal a safe haven during the storm and return them to the shelter once it’s safe – that is, if you don’t fall in love. For more information on becoming a hurricane foster, visit https://fkspca.org/volunteer/become-a-foster-volunteer/ or call 305-743-4800.
Blippi
2-year-old Weimaraner mix.
Looking for: My one and only, and to be your one and only.
Turnoffs: Most things that aren’t ME. I’m the star.
Itchy
1-year-old male domestic shorthair.
Looking for: Someone who wants two cats, so my brother can come, too.
Turnoffs: Nothing. I am one friendly, happy, cool dude.
Adoption Update: Marathon’s very own cancer-fighting rockstar Mallory recently joined the foster failure club. She said, “After trying to find the perfect home for this unique girl (now named Mavis), she realized before I did that she was already home.”
