August may be the dog days of summer but at the Humane Society of Grand Bahama this week it’s all about the cats!
Thanks to summer volunteer Delfina Altamuro’s wonderful photos, we present a small sampling of our amazing Royal Bahamian Potcats. They are healthy and happy and only lacking a place to call home.
For those with busy schedules, cats can be the purr-fect pet. They don’t require as much attention as dogs do, and as a big bonus, they come already house trained. All our cats are litter trained. All they require from you is to keep their litter box in a quiet private area, and to keep it clean for them.
Cats are happy to see you when you come home, but they are also quite capable of entertaining themselves (i.e. mostly napping) during your long work or school days. Make sure they have plenty of clean fresh water, a little dry kibble, and can’t escape through a window or door, and they will be fine.
For entertainment and relaxation purposes, you can’t beat the antics of a cat. Having a cat for a companion is good for the soul and good for your health. Your daily stresses melt away in the company of your cat.
Throughout August, all adoptions of cats over six months old will be reduced by 50% – for only $25 you can take your new best 
friend home! Please come visit our cattery at our shelter – the bright yellow building at the top of Coral Road just before GB Highway.
When God Created Kitty Cats
When God created kitty cats,
He had no recipe;
He knew He wanted something sweet,
As sweet as sweet could be.
He started out with sugar,
Adding just a trace of spice;
Then stirred in drops of morning dew,
To keep them fresh and nice.
He thought cats should be soft to pet,
Thus He gave them coats of fur;
So they could show they were content,
He taught them how to purr.
He made for them long tails to wave,
While strutting down the walk;
Then trained them in meow-ology,
So they could do cat-talk.
He made them into acrobats,
And gave them grace and poise;
Their wide-eyed curiosity,
He took from little boys.
He put whiskers on their faces,
Gave them tiny ears for caps;
Then shaped their little bodies,
To snugly fit on laps.
He gave them eyes as big as saucers,
To look into man’s soul;
Then set a tolerance for mankind,
As their purpose and their goal.
Benevolent … and … generous,
He made so many of them;
Then charged, with Fatherly Concern,
The human race to love them.
When one jumped up upon His lap,
God gently stroked its head;
The cat gave Him a kitty kiss,
“What wondrous love,” God said.
God smiled at His accomplishment,
So pleased with His creation;
And said, with pride, as He sat back,
“At last. . .I’ve reached purr-fection!”
