Adoptable AnimalsPET OF THE MONTH
BEAUTY Beauty is about 9 months old. She needs to find her forever home ASAP...she is growing up here at the shelter. She came to us when she was just 12 weeks old, a shelter is no place for a kitten, she needs a warm lap to snuggle on everyday and a warm bed to sleep in! She is very sweet and loves belly rubs! She also gets along great with other cats! If interested, please come into the shelter for a visit.

Wandering alone, I found you. Your intimidating size
cautioned my steps,
but you were gentle; I brought you to the shelter. In a cage, you were so angry; barking at me, but your eyes were so sad. You had a story to tell; I began to listen. A biscuit is all it took for you to give me your trust. My heart had faith in you, but with your sort, my trust in you required time; time that wouldn’t be there. Through the wired wall, we formed a bond. Leaning against the metal, you would try to get close to me, so my fingers could rub your ears. In a cage, you were so ill; staring at me, and your eyes were so sad. Forgetting about the barrier, I reached in and gave you my consoling touch, for what would be the first and only time. I am Sorry that I couldn’t save you. Sorry that I never got to hug you. Sorry that I wasn’t there when you left this world. Forgive me friend, for I know better now; to listen to my heart is the lesson learned, and so your story I will tell; |
