The Maryland SPCA just brought up 30 cats and dogs from the Humane Society of Southern Mississippi, where volunteers were heroically trying to keep the animals warm and dry as possible in tents.

There are 13 dogs, nine cats, two puppies and two kittens. One of the cats is a big neutered tom named Troy who has blue eyes and silver tabby fur. He is gorgeous and a real lap sitter and lover.

I will post some pictures when I can.

Some of the dogs are infected with heartworm. They are being treated, and they are adoptable now. The SPCA will continue to treat them till they are cured.

The SPCA hopes to get them in homes by the first of the year, and has a special program, "Home for the Holidays," to help. Visit [www.mdspca.org] or if you're local, call 410-235-8826 for info. There are fees to adopt, about $120 for a dog and $80 for a cat, and potential adopters are interviewed for suitability.

Give them a look! They are gorgeous, sweet animals who would love to have a sofa to call their own.

Thanks, Gutie

Here's Troy. He is not in a great mood here:

It kills me to see kitties without homes.

Here's Shirley, one of the puppies:

Troy is actually a seal lynx point, not silver tabby!

I'm local and Shirley is just super cute. i'm not sure with an 11 week old baby it's the time to get a puppy, but i can dream!
