Motion: To approve the minutes from April 18, 2019. Passes.
ACO's Report
Jeff reported that kittens were found in the woods in Foxboro, and they might be brought to
the shelter.
Miscellaneous
• Jeff will "cat test" Bailey to see if Bailey is appropriate for a recent adoption
application.
• A Thursday morning volunteer would like to bring in a cat that her friend can no
longer keep. The cat is six years old, not spayed or up to date with vaccines.
• Sharon is fostering a four week old, torti kitten from Lawton Farm that had been
trapped in a wall. The kitten was sick when Sharon received it, but it is doing well
now.
Ana ordered more martingales for the dogs: large, medium, and small, and color
coded.
Veterinary
• Sharon will try a special food for Bengal cats, to see if it helps Tigger. The
Earthborn shredded food did not agree with him.
• Marley's x-ray were reviewed by a radiologist at Tufts, who thinks that the cat has
an improperly healed fracture rather than bone cancer. Ana will take Marley to be
examined by Denise, and then probably to be examined at Tufts.

• Sharon's foster kittens will not be ready for adoption for a couple more weeks
because they need to gain weight.
• Jeff will take Reggie to M.A.H. for neutering and vaccines.
