Billings’ Animal Shelter Update and an Adorable, Adoptable Kitty

It's been just over a month since "the incident" at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter. Of course, I'm referring to the incinerator malfunction that flooded the facility with toxic smoke while law enforcement was destroying seized/confiscated drugs at the shelter.

The story quickly went viral, with coverage from the Wall Street Journal, CBS News, the BBC, the New York Post, and countless other outlets.

A recent social media post from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter clarified how they've resumed daily operations, as best they can, considering the circumstances.

Meet our featured Wet Nose Wednesday Pet: Sally Skellington

Sally is a charming, two-year-old kitty who arrived at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter about a week ago.

When Animal Control picked her up, she had a small lump on her front, right shoulder. YVAS vets removed the tissue, and Sally Skellington has recovered nicely. Other than a bald spot where she was shaved for surgery, she's back to normal.

Adopt Sally at Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter in Billings.

Sally Skellington has a fun name, and this sweet cat is a delight. She didn't seem to mind the car ride/crate situation during her in-studio visit, and she explored every nook and cranny of our studio when she wasn't getting her tail and ears scratched by me.
