The little siblings are among the 50 cats and kittens to which Babbitt has provided a foster home over the past four years. There was an adoption event Saturday at the shelter, another at Petsmart in Medford and another at the Grange Coop, also in Medford. And this day Babbitt would like nothing more than to find a home for Precious and Mittens. But it has to be a good home.
Adoptions are one part of what s happening at the shelter.
With the help of veterinarian Bret Meckel of the Best Friends Animal Hospital, staffers are offering low-cost rabies shots and pet licenses. Two dogs have been adopted at the shelter this day a gorgeous black lab and a mixed, black puppy but no cats so far, says technician Donna Patnesky. Babbitt says she s had Precious and Mittens since Aug. 27, when they were only about four weeks old. She feeds them the canned stuff. They sleep with her.
