OBL announces collection on behalf of animal rescue group
This spring, animal lovers can drop off donations of much needed pet supplies at Oneonta Bus Lines/Eastern Travel and receive the gift of travel in return.
“Dry cat food, dog and cat toys, cat litter, and pet beds are among the items we are collecting on behalf of Super Heroes in Ripped Jeans,” said OBL/ET General Manager Peggy M. Bush. “For their generosity, donors will be able to select a gift certificate at random in denominations ranging from $5.00 to $20.00 and will become eligible to win a $100.00 gift certificate.”
SHiRJ is a 100 percent volunteer-run program formed in September of 2017 and incorporated as a non-profit in February of this year. The organization’s mission is to improve the lives of animals and their caretakers.
“We do this by means of low cost spay/neuter, free trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNvR) for feral cats, a pet food pantry for struggling caretakers, and assistance with emergency medical costs,” said SHiRJ Founder and Board President Terra Butler. “It’s our goal to keep animals in their homes with families that love them and out of our shelters. By the end of this month, we will have made spay/neuter possible for 500 animals.”
Butler formed SHiRJ after her years of working in local animal shelters revealed a huge need for assistance with spay and neuter, emergency services, and routine needs (food, flea medication, etc.) for feral cats and low-income families with pets requiring care.
Located at 697 Winney Hill Road in Oneonta, SHiRJ is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except Wednesday (closed occasionally for spay clinics). SHiRJ is currently caring for 60 adoptable animals, with another 34 becoming available as they are well enough and/or old enough.
There are adoptable animals at the Winney Hill facility, Butler explained, but the bulk of their animals are dispersed in foster homes. The adoption fee is $40.00 for cats and $75.00 for dogs.
“We have a number of special needs animals available for adoption,” she continued. “We work with local shelters, other rescue groups and veterinary offices to try to save those that are most vulnerable.”
According to Butler, SHiRJ’s special needs animals include dogs with behavior quirks, FIV/FeLV+ cats and “seniors.”
The full “wish list” of supplies currently being collected at OBL/ET is: dry cat food, cat litter, flea medication (any brand), cat and dog toys, bleach, laundry detergent, 39-gallon garbage bags, paper towels, and pet beds.
Items from this list can be dropped off weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the OBL/ET offices at 41 Orchard Street, Oneonta.
