Sandy, Baby!

We brought home a new edition to our family today. Sandy, originally named Julie, is settling in quite well, but we have yet to hear her purr. The helpful staff and volunteers gave us sound advice and she has used her new box without any oops. Now, she is resting at my feet, see pic below…


This is the ad for Sandy, and the nice volunteer told us she just got her picture on the website at noon today. We went in to get Rose, my husband wanted a cat that didn’t like competition, and I didn’t care. (He knows I would take them all!) Julie's story was heart breaking and we drove over an hour to see her and Rose...

Cat
Domestic Short Hair - buff and white
Size:
Medium
Age: Adult
Sex: Female
Notes: Now here's a story that will break your heart. A car pulls up early one morning, the occupant finds the front door unlocked, the lobby empty, and proceeds to throw a cat inside and speed away just as an employee comes in from the back. This poor baby huddled in a corner, scared half to death, as our employee tried to figure out WHAT had just happened. We have named her Julie; she is declawed and already spayed. Whoever did this doesn't deserve her anyway. She is safe and loved here and we will do whatever we can to find someone who will love her always...

Bless you for rescuing a shelter cat. So many cats languish in shelters (or are put down) and never get the forever homes they deserve. Sandy is beautiful!

She is so sweet. How lucky that she has found a safe home in yours.

Sigh...now I want a cat. I think my wife will kill me, though.

Sandy Update.....
She is doing just fine. She talks to us, especially in the morning, and has done a heck of a job dusting behind furniture. :-)
She's wondie!
