Tweety's
Black Velvet Club
History of Tweety the Queen:Tweety was brought to the Humane Society at the age of 8 months over twelve years ago. The Humane Society partnered with the Broward County Sheriff's office led by Lieutenant Sherry Schlueter and Women in Distress to provide shelter for animals that were caught in the middle of domestic violence situations. Shelters for people exist for these women but unfortunately pets are not allowed. Lieutenant Schlueter instituted this partnership program and the Humane Society was happy to foster or board these animals until the victims got back on their feet. Tweety's mother was never able to take her back into her life. During Tweety's stay at the Humane Society she became sick with an upper respiratory infection in the kenneling area. She was brought upstairs in the administrative area to recover in one of the offices. Well, Tweety quickly won the hearts of the entire administrative staff and decided she wanted to stay! Her one office home soon became the entire second floor which she now rules. Tweety spends her time getting spoiled rotten by over 500 volunteers and 100 staff members. She expects it! During Tweety's reign she started her own "Ask Tweety" page in our PawPrints magazine. Tweety gives an honest and blunt response to ignorant humans - as she sees it! She encourages you to write her with any problem you are having and she promises to set you straight. Recently, Tweety decided to start her own "Black Velvet" Club to help encourage the adoption of her black-furred buddies. Read about her new adventure below. Greeting Humans, As most of you have noticed I am a cat with luxurious soft, silky, velvet smooth BLACK fur! Black is back and where it's at! For some bizarro reason black cats and black dogs are the most overlooked and least likely animals to get adopted at animal shelters through out the United States. Some shelter personnel think some reasons might be that black animals don't stand out in the kennels, or are harder to photograph. Now to me that is just ludicrous! In my humble opinion our black fur represents class, finesse and charm. Some of you may have heard ridiculous myths about black cats being bad luck and even being evil! The truth is we are good luck! King Charles I of England owned a black cat that he felt brought him luck and was so afraid of losing it that he had guarded day and night. That is one smart man if you ask me! I've had enough of this bologna so I decide to start my own club. I am the Queen so I know all of you humans will want to support my Club to help get beautiful black animals adopted. You can help me two ways! First you can join my Club by adopting either a black, dog, puppy, kitten, cat or rabbit and if you do here's what you get! If you aren't looking to adopt a precious animal at this time you can donate to my new Tweety Black Velvet Club to help me and the Humane Society keep this program going, any amount is appreciated, but $25 makes you a member! You can write and specify that your money go to the Queen and make a donation on-line, click here, or by mailing it to the my castle at HSBC, 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 – Attn: Tweety the Queen. Alright time to have my daily brushing... President, Founder and Queen of the Black Velvet Club, Tweety |
