Update, 3/18/2010: Our new website is still under construction at the moment. But oh, what progress we’ve made! So many new and cool things have been added to this site since September, and there is much more to come. Now our supporters can pay their pet sponsorships online. Applications and selections for you to select your own special sponsor pet, and donation forms will be following shortly.
The ARCShop is up, where you can buy Animal Refuge Center branded merchandise, and we’re not finished with that, either. Over the coming year we plan to add to our merchandise and put other designs than the ARC logo on it for your family and pets.
We’ve got Spay and Neuter Options for families in need. “Fur Keeps – Get It Right The First Time” from our Petfinder.com sponsor, helps you tailor your lifestyle and situation for the kind of pet you’re looking for (and vice-versa), so you and your new pet can handle any situation and reduce those heartbreaking pet returns.
So much more to come. We just need to remember to keep blogging and keep you up to date on what’s going on! We’ll be working on our latest newsletter around March 20, 2010, and if you’re not on our mailing list you will be able to download your own PDF copy of Voices From The ARC!
You can easily drop in and ask questions, though! Whatever’s on your mind, if you need an answer to anything at all, just ask your question at the appropriate page and we’ll answer it for you! Remember, your questions also help immensely toward building our Frequently Asked Questions pages, and we’re here to help! Ask away–but remember this site is moderated, so objectionable material won’t be approved. 
Our shelter is at 20 years and counting as of last year, and we’re looking forward to the next 20. As always, thank you so much for all your support!

Brian Chambers, Chris Berry and Aaron Shaw have adopted kittens they found while on duty – and sent them back to the States to wait for them with the marines’ families. Says Chambers, “At only 3 weeks old, their mother had disappeared and they were left alone to live rough and fend for themselves like the other cats in this area. We looked after them both and they lived in a box in the office, after a week they were allowed to roam around during the day and sleep with us in the hooch at night.” Of another kitten, Berry explains,
Obviously, this is a situation where everyone benefits from the affection.
Update: A commenter was kind enough to include the contact information for an SPCA initiative that helps bring these animals to safety! You can donate online to Operation Baghdad Pups.

Yes, we have to do another kitty post. But this one’s different, a matter of international interest. News from Afghanistan may be grim, but everyone can find solace in these images of lost or abandoned kittens rescued by U.S. marines.
