HALO kitties shine during Phoenix adoption event Jan. 18-20

There will be 75 deserving and terrific cats coming to Phoenix this weekend from The Great Kitty Rescue but make no mistake: the HALO cats will be shining too.

There will be at least 10 cats from this Phoenix-based group at HALO (Helping Animals Live On) in the “Love-A-Pet” center inside the store while the cats from the Great Kitty Rescue are hanging out in the “Truck of Love” in the parking lot.

The Great Kitty Rescue cats and the HALO cats will be ready to meet their new families at the Camelback PetSmart, 1949 E. Camelback Road, 602.248.8809, on Friday, January 18, Saturday, January 19, Sunday, January 20 noon to 7 p.m., all three days.

Let us introduce you to three fabulous felines from HALO:

Krysta and Danika: We are family

Meet cat sisters Krysta and Danika (pictured above) who are very bonded to each other. They were adopted as kittens in 2005 from HALO and then were returned at two years old because their family was moving.

Krysta and Danika are very sweet, affectionate girls but they can only show you their real personality in a home setting. They are shy and don't get this “come to the front of the cage and flirt with people” thing.

They are truly "best friends" and have been through so much together, who could bare to split these darlings up?

Making you work for it: Capone

Here is a big boy with a big love. His truly adorable personality just doesn’t come across when he’s in an adoption cage

.

He was adopted in 2004 and recently returned because his owners were moving and couldn't keep him. Capone hides until you start petting him and then he is all about you:

“I love you! I can’t get enough of you! Where’s that belly, oh, let me roll over and show you! Do you want me to do elevator butt? Hey what about butting heads? Wanna hear me purr?”

Now, ask yourself, is your life really complete without Capone? Hmmm????

About HALO

HALO is a No-kill, 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to ending pet overpopulation.

In 1994 HALO was by two women, Michel Herstam and Heather Allen, out of their home in Phoenix, Arizona. Michel and Heather started HALO because they love animals and couldn't just stand by and watch millions of cats and dogs being euthanized needlessly.

HALO is helping to end the pet overpopulation epidemic by providing temporary shelter to abandoned cats and dogs until a permanent home can be found. Each year HALO places over 2,000 abandoned animals in loving, forever homes.

Oh my god, Capone is such a cute boy! He looks like a bigger version of our kitty Mr. Watson, same tabby blazes on the head and tabby tail. We just adopted a very shy Pahrump kitty otherwise we'd be very tempted to hop into the car and get Capone! I'll never understand how people can move and not take their pets with them...unless you move to Mars I think there's always a solution somehow. We'll be rooting for Capone and all the other Pahrump kitties of course. The best of luck and plenty of good homes!

Must Krysta and Danika stay together?

According to what the great people at the Phoenix rescue group HALO tell me, this is a deep bond and these girls have already gone through losing a home. They don't want these kitties to suffer another loss....each other.

And look how good they look together!

Great..I am glad they are not going to seperate them. Hopefully someone will adopt these beautiful babies soon.

i hear you spax, i really think it needs to be DRILLED into potential adopters' heads - this is for LIFE, not just until you move or they get old or sick. For life.

There was a flyer up in the breakroom where I work where a man was trying to find a home for his cat..on the flyer it said he was moving and really wanted to find her a nice home, that he did not want to put her to sleep. ( ??? ) So I contacted the cage-free shelter where I volunteer to see if we were now accepting any new cats ( we have had a lot of door dumps and returns of late so they were not accepting any new ones from volunteers at the moment ). The shelter manager asked me to find out more info. I asked the man why he was not taking the cat with him, and he said because some places just do not accept pets of any kind. If I was moving somewhere new and they did not accept pets, then I would just have to find somewhere else to move! I think it is either just an excuse to get rid of their pets or they just dont care about them.

Did Capone get adopted? I really hope so, he is so darn cute.
