News of an old kitty pal
I buy cat food and litter at a small chain pet food place near my house.
Today I happened to be in another neighborhood, where I saw one of their other stores, so I went in. They were having a kitty adoption! It was the same feral cat rescue folks who used to have adoptions at my local store, but they had gotten kicked out last year, because other stores in that plaza complained. (Idiots - animals *attract* business!) Anyway, the rescue group found a new location, ie, the store I was at today. So I chatted with the rescue people and asked how Everett was doing. Remember Everett, the mostly-white kitty I fostered from them briefly last year? ( http://home.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats...t/everett.html ). They had him in foster care, and at the weekly adoptions, for at least a year. Poor guy! Also, he has a very handsome stripey brother named Eddie, who was also at the adoptions every week. They couldn't compete with the 2-month-old kittens, I guess. Well, it turns out that both Everett and Eddie have found homes! Hooray!! The rescue group had to find some other way to get them adopted, and they were able to get both of them into a local no-kill shelter. There's a lot more foot traffic at the shelter, so they had plenty of exposure. I'm so glad they finally got adopted! There were some real cuties at the adoption today. -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

Duffy was in a shelter for several months before I saw him. On the other hand, even a very high percentage of kittens will be euthanized because there are not enough people available to adopt. So, your story with the happy ending is *doubly* great to read. Thank you!! MaryL |
