Paws for Pets: Happily ever after for Scotty and Jason

1 week ago | yorknewstimes.com | LaMoine Roth

Those who know me know that I love happy endings. Being in rescue you celebrate the happy endings and wow do I have a happy ending with a cat named Scotty. On May 29, I received a call at 7:00 a.m. from Jason. He is a distant cousin of mine, and I helped him out with 2 stray cats back in January. Jason lives in a very small-town northeast of York. As in many small towns there are almost as many feral cats as there are people, and I am not exaggerating.
Paws for Pets: The hardships of infant orphaned kittens

1 month ago | yorknewstimes.com | LaMoine Roth

Never say never. I said I would never foster newborn kittens several years back. Newborn kittens are such a huge gamble. Especially if they are orphaned newborns. They receive nutrients including colostrum from their mother’s milk and if they don’t receive this due to being orphaned, the battle is uphill. You can do everything right and overnight you can see a healthy kitten’s health plunge into sudden failure.
York Adopt a pet highlights Buttercup and Miss Princess

York Adopt is much more than “just” an animal shelter. If our walls could speak, they would be able to tell you of the compassion, love, happiness and tragic sadness that has occurred within the walls of YAAP. Since opening our new shelter April 10, 2010, there have been literally thousands of dogs and cats that have crossed and sometimes crisscrossed our threshold. I have seen high five’s when volunteers celebrate the adoption of a cat that has waited for several years.

A Paws For Pets – What a guy - Just Melanie W.

Jan 10, 2025 | justmelaniew.com | LaMoine Roth

By LaMoine Roth, York Adopt A PetBack on the evening of May 19, 1962, I opened the front door of my home in McCool. There standing on the front porch was my first date with a guy named Bob from Fairmont. With first date jitters, he came in and sat on the edge of the sofa as my mom was not so subtly checking this guy out, firing one question after another – “How old are you, how many brothers and sisters,” etc., etc., etc.

Back on the evening of May 19 1962, I opened the front door of my home in McCool Junction. Standing on the front porch was a “guy” named Bob from Fairmont; he was there for our first date.

York Adopt A Pet received 259 cats and kittens as of today in 2024. So many orphaned kittens, elderly cats, those who had injuries and health issues. There were cats that were relinquished because their owners were unable to care for them or someone in the family had passed away. They had lived in a wonderful safe and loving home. After being taken from a quiet life with every need answered, they found themselves living among dozens and dozens of other cats.
Paws for Pets: Cinderella the antisocial cat … and she lived happily ever after.

Nov 29, 2024 | yorknewstimes.com | LaMoine Roth

You may remember hearing me saying time after time “I love happy endings.” This was a happy ending, just a mere 18 years ago. “Once upon a time” a beautiful Russian Blue mama cat made the best decision of her young life when she chose to have her six tiny babies in the window well of Joyce Angle’s home in west York. We don’t know how her story began, we don’t know why she was on her own at such a young age, we know that she continued to come to Joyce’s back deck seeking food.
Paws for Pets: Saying goodbye to a pet never gets easier

Nov 18, 2024 | yorknewstimes.com | LaMoine Roth

Saying good bye never gets any easier saying goodbye to a pet whether it is your first dog or cat or all the dogs and cats that you love and care for. It is never easy. I can remember them all. My first little dog was a black-and-white mutt. I named her Butch and she was my best friend all through grade school. I didn’t know she had followed me to school one fall morning until she ran ahead of me and was struck by a car. My world ended in those first few seconds.
