Haven't We Met?

I almost cried when I saw him and thought he was Sally, back again. But nope, this is a little boy, named Tony. He has exactly one eye and zero tails!

More Hershey, Meow, and Sally

Hershey's not much for playing or being held. But he loves attention and pettings. On his terms of course! And he has the most unusual color.

Oh Hai!

*Star Pet* Meow is sweet and playful, and he's okay going off by himself for a good snooze too. I would love to get him for Nephthys, but I'm not in a place to acquire any more dependents right now. His nifty bandana's been changed for Christmas. Cute, yet sad.

Someone needs to scoop these boys up right now!

Here are some last shots of little miss Sally. They're too cute not to share, IMHO. One thing that always made me laugh was how much she loved this tube. Her furever mom promised to get her one for home.

Ahem!


Aah, all mine...

Mission Accomplished

Sally found a home.

Some Less-Than-Perfect Photos of Some Perfect Kitties

I'm so annoyed with myself for not being able to get any pictures today, that I went back through the leftovers from last time. They're not great, but that's my fault, and I'm here to promote the cats, not my mad photography skillz. So here's Sally, Hershey, and Meow, who I have not introduced.

Meow is a Star Pet - reserved for cats and dogs who've been at the shelter the longest. He's easy-going, playful and likes pettings. He looks just like Nephthys, but bigger. He's pretty awesome if I do say so myself. But he's black, so he gets passed up. One of my dreams is to collect only black cats, tons of them, then hang out on my doorstep and cackle madly as they run all over the house behind me. People can be so stupid. Black is beautiful baby.

A Proper Introduction

My camera died the second I turned it on today. I'm so bummed, and it's totally my bad for not charging it regularly (note to self). Most everyone has cycled through though, and we're on new batches of kittens and cats. But Sally's still there, and that really makes me sad. She's sweet and playful, small and cuddly. I hope it's not her lack of an eyeball that's getting her overlooked. Hershey's still there too, and he's become less social now that there are more cats in the free-roam room. I'm not too worried, because the SPCA will keep them until they get adopted, but it's no fun for them there. They need to go home.

Since I have no good cat pics, I'll take today to introduce Dash properly, because my last post does him absolutely no justice. Now, I love all my animals, and I have no favorites, but Dash is my special boy. I wrote his story on Flickr a few months ago, so I won't repost it here. Most of that has passed. Dash still has his issues, but he's improved so, SO much, even since then, that reading it, I barely remember writing it. He's still in progress, but he's a success story, and he's changed my life. Or maybe he's complemented my life changes. He's given me new joy that someone who hasn't been through it all doesn't understand. He's more than just another dog. He's my cuddle bug, my baby boy, and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Wee!


Oh hai!


My shadow, and my other shadow

Cheese!


Hi mom.


Goodnight!

Sally's pooped!

We made our regular Sunday after-breakfast visit, and Sally was on top of the condo again and o-u-t, prancing around in dreamland, toes wiggling. She wasn't waking up for anything. So I gave her some sleepy-time pets, shot a pic, and visited everyone else. Roommate Nika was getting adopted, and possibly Charlie too!

One-eyed Sally

Today, I spent most of my day in one of the free-roam rooms because we've got volunteers out the ears (yay!)! And I wanted to spend more time with Sally who I met last week - a timid, growly girl. I have a soft spot for the special and scared ones. I like to give them extra TLC so they know this loud, scary place isn't so bad, and that they are still loved.


I think she needs a jeweled eye patch.


She may only have one eye, but it is big and beautiful and curious enough for two.


Sally's playful! You'd never know she was a crouching, growling girl a week ago.


Her roommates joined in on the fun, and some were kind enough to let me snap a decent photo - Nika and Hershey.


Hey, I'm Ace.


Later, I went to the main room to spend some time with the caged cats. Everyone seems to have great markings this week! Charlie (who LOVES to hug! can I have him??) has a goofy clown face on his back, and Killian has a wee heart on his leg.


By the time my shift ended, Sally was queen kitty on top of the kitty condo! I like to think I had a little something to do with her newfound confidence. ;)

(P.S. Eek, this layout is too narrow, please stand-by while I hunt for something more suitable...)

(P.P.S. This is a work in progress - trying to find my groove on how much to write, how many pics to post, the flow, etc.)
