SNIPPP’s Snaps – July 5, 2021
Beginning this week, Shasta County News Source (SCNS) will be proudly featuring a new Community Reporter’s column, “SNIPPP’s Snaps”.
The bi-weekly column will feature snapshots and details about different kittens, cats, and dogs available for both fostering and adoption through Spay & Neuter Intermountain Pets & Pet Placement (SNIPPP). Each new listing will include photographs as well as full and detailed descriptions of each animal and what their individual needs are.
The column will also feature upcoming events such as fundraisers, adoptions, and other exciting news covering animal foster and adoption needs throughout the North State region.

If You are Looking for Love – Here I Am!!!
My name is Lonely Boy (but my mom calls me Handsome Boy Kitty! ) My dad, Jim, used to be on the road a lot…I live in his shop so when he was gone….I was lonely! Secretly, I long for a lap to sit in, a soft bed to snuggle in, frequent tummy rubs and….YOU! After years of being a “lone kitty”, I’ve decided that it’s time to take the plunge, settle down for good and find that one special person to purr to!
So, here are my ideas for the perfect relationship –
You and me hanging out, I’ll purr and make biscuits with my paws while you rub my tummy, then, you can pour me a bowl of cat food and fix yourself something yummy and we can dine together, after that, we can watch the sunset while I keep your lap nice and warm!
I am polite, well mannered and like to think I’m quite the catch….unfortunately, the BIG Bobcat who has moved into my neighborhood seems to think so too. I really wouldn’t be considering a move, but he’s a kitty eating fool and I don’t really cherish the idea of ending up a succulent snack so it’s time to move on.
Although I’m pretty much on lockdown due to the BIG Bobcat (I think his name is Killer!), I do like to lounge in the sun and am an old hand at using a kitty door. I am good at using a litter box too, but sometimes a guy just likes to enjoy the great outdoors – especially when I know I can snuggle with you at night!
I know you will be giving Jim a call soon so that you can meet me – after all, What’s not to Love about this Handsome Lonely Boy? Come on….you know you want me! Make that call!!!

Hello There! My name is Wona – and I am pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!
I was found by my current folks on Montgomery Creek Road about two months ago and they have been great! SNIPPP helped me spayed and my shots, so I am good to go!
To tell the truth, I’m not too crazy about farm animals and my current folks have Chickens and Goats, so it’s time for me to move on! I do get along with cats and I’d like to meet other dogs, so that could be fun….I’m really a sweetheart and I love to run and play! Maybe I could be your new buddy???? Please??? I’m here – waiting to meet you SOON I hope! So….give Nicholas a call and we can start our new adventures together! I’m looking forward to it!!!
