Sunflower – Downers Grove, IL
Hi, my name is Sunflower. I am a 14 month old, female DSH. We were rounded up at home and driven to the shelter together. I had seven very young kittens at the time. Their eyes were not even open yet. The people who brought us said we were all strays, so the shelter staff were surprised when we all turned out to be exceptionally affectionate cats. All of the other adult cats have now been adopted except me because I was busy raising my babies in a foster home. Now they are weaned and I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life. Will you be the author?

Louie – Boca Raton, FL
Hound / Lab mix. 3 year-old neutered male, 55 lbs. 
Louie here, and I've been around the block a few times. I was a hurricane Katrina rescue, brought to Tri County and adopted. Recently, through no fault of my own, I was returned. How humiliating! I'm a bit aloof because I don't want to have my heart broken yet again, but I'm friendly and sweet and gentle. I need a home without children but I get along well with cats and other dogs. I'm housebroken and calm, just a bit shy. I could use some good food, but mostly I need a loving home and lots of TLC, finally!
I'll wait right here at Tri County Humane Society, 21287 Boca Rio Road, Boca Raton. (561) 482-8110. www.tricountyhumane.org.
Have you ever noticed how cats love to be on the kitchen counter? The counter is a great height to visit you, especially when your cooking and after all, if your cat is really lucky he might even be able to get a special treat without you knowing about it (until afterwards).
While there are several ways to teach your cat to stay off the counter, the most common and effective way is to place sticky, adhesive strips along the counter. An easy way to do this is to attach the adhesive strips to a plastic place mat, which makes it easy for you to remove the strips while you are working in the kitchen. You also want to give your cat an alternate place to perch where he can be high and see everything. A kitchen stool works well. When your cats sits in the chair and does not go on the counter is the time to use positive reinforcements and give your cat a treat.
You can also try to block your counters making it hard for your cat to get on them. Personally, I have never had much success with the blocking method as my cats always seem to be able to negotiate the obstacle course just fine and find it interesting and fun.
Please share any techniques you have used that have worked.
