Dottie Big Boy, Loki & Izzy

Born on 4/5/23 in family’s backyard chicken coop. We are a sweet trio, we love attention, getting petted, brushing and playtime. Izzy is the shyest of the bunch, will tolerate back and head pets, but walks away when she has had enough. Big Boy, was the most timid but has opened up a lot! He is a big softy after some work from his foster mom and lots of love. Loki is the most con dent and will show you her belly purr. She wants to be petted as soon as she sees you. We are 1 year old and truly love each other. We would love to be adopted all together! Neg for FeLV and FIV.

Dottie is 2 years old and was saved by Kitten Angels from a shelter where she was on death row.

She LOVES attention but does not like to be held. She will follow you everywhere. She knows her name and will come when you call. She is not a lap cat right now, but we think in time she will easily become one. This girl is super sweet and deserves the best home. She loves pets, but doesn’t have a problem telling you when enough is enough with a gentle swat. She would need to be the only pet in the house, as she is not good with other cats or dogs.

* Please note: some or all of these dogs/cats may have been adopted while this magazine was being printed, but shelter staﬀ will be happy to help you ﬁnd one that is perfect for your family.

Peeta

My name is Peeta, and I’m an awesome boy with a bright future ahead of me! I am learning how to trust people and I’ll be your Best Friend! I need a cat friend in my new home, so if you don’t have one, maybe consider adopting one of my siblings. Small dogs ok, but for now I’m not a fan of big dogs.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon came to us as a Mom, and now that her kittens are grown she has a chance to be out and around us humans. She only trusts us from a distance at the moment, but we continue to show her she doesn’t need to be. Any potential adopter would need to work with Cinnamon and gain her trust. Good w/other cats and kids.

Austin

Austin is a 3 year old Sharpei mix. He is a happy, goofy boy that loves to be outside. He does get rough when playing, but calms down when corrected. He is good with most dogs, and will need a home without cats. He would do best in a home with older kids. He knows sit and down, is super smart and wants to learn!

2 yr. old Finney is a friendly guy! He has the cutest raspy voice. He loves lounging on window sills. He loves for his chin and back to be stroked. He likes both to follow you around and also do his own things! Finney is FIV+, but don’t let that deter you! Cats who test positive for FIV usually live long, healthy lives and do not infect other household pets!

Find the FUN.... in the City of Amsterdam, NY

The City of Amsterdam Tourism, Marketing and Recreation Department always says, “so much to do in Amsterdam, NY”. They are not wrong! From the many city parks, to places you can go to just relax for a moment, to exercise trails and new tennis/pickleball courts, to the city pool & the new splash pad, the disc golf in progress at Sassafras Park, to great ideas like the rock snake in Veteran’s Field! Don’t forget about all the programs available at the Amsterdam Free Library and other libraries nearby, along with the Walter Elwood Museum! There isn’t enough room to even mention all that there is do! Check out the City of Amsterdam Tourism, Marketing & Recreation Facebook page to ﬁnd out about things happening in the city (then put that phone down or get OFF the computer and Go!)

Happy Summer, Enjoy it

The City of Amsterdam is thankful to the Heck Family and Alpin Haus for making the splash pad, located at Veteran’s Park on Locust Ave., possible!

Says Mayor Mike Cinquanti…

Miranda Whelly, of Amsterdam got an idea from Pinterest and Facebook about creating a rock snake where people can paint their own rocks and add to it and see how long it can get. She got permission to start our own in Amsterdam.

Miranda painted the head and made a sign so that people who don’t have access to her Facebook page will see it on the bridge and know what it’s for. The rock snake is located on the MVGO Bridge. If anyone wants to paint a rock or two, please do!

Let’s see how long we can make it!

“Their contribution of an ice skating rink for winter use and this splash pad during the hot months was a brilliant combination, which will have a yearlong impact on recreational opportunities at Vets. And a huge thank you to our City engineers, DPW, Recreation Department and Water crews for performing much of the work necessary to construct this new water pad and make it operational.

The Splash Pad is open every day from 9am - 9pm

Check out the new tables installed in city parks and trails.

My name is Batman. I was found as a stray and brought to the shelter so I can ﬁnd my forever home! I am a friendly and energetic boy! I like getting outside for walks, and would love a large yard where I could run around and play. I like playing with my toys and would do best in an active home. Want to stop and play with me? Call the shelter today!

2 yrs. old

This poor overbred girl was going for a walk today when she noticed an open car door and she pulled to jump in. She is DESPERATE to get out of the shelter from the loud overwhelming shelter environment. It’s breaking her. Ember came in as a stray and unfortunately nobody claimed her. She’s housebroken, gets along with other dogs with a proper introduction, and loves to smell the green grass. Ember is just one of many great dogs at the shelter just sitting in a cage waiting to enjoy summer with a family.
