This has absolutely made my day!!!!
This is Mickey:
and this is his Petfinder page - http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/...?petid=8228759
He's going to a new home today!!!!!! "So what" I hear you say... Well, Mickey came into the shelter in July last year when he was 6 or 7 months old as a stray that nobody claimed and he was the sweetest boy! Loved other cats, was affectionate, friendly, and just such a nice boy.
Nobody could understand why nobody was adopting him. Then in January someone finally adopted him, and it was a lovely family and we were so excited. A few days later he was brought back
Apparently the family dog gets on fine with the 2 cats already in the house, but a third cat was too much, and the dog went for Mickey, and (I think during this incident) Mickey scratched his eyeball. So he came back, and spent time in isolation while his eye was healing and was pretty down as were all of us.
Then another shelter volunteer said to another girl and I last week that a friend of hers was looking for a new kitty, and she was trying to decide who to recommend. The other girl and I both said "MICKEY!!!!". And she said "oh yeah, I forgot about Mickey, since he's been in iso for so long!"
So her friend went in on the weekend and met Mickey and fell in love with him. They wanted a youngish cat, but not a kitten, and a kitty was friendly and affectionate but not too demanding and would be open to a kitty friend once he got settled. She put a hold on him straight away for this Friday coming when she knew her husband could come see him, and went home to tell her husband all about him, and her husband loves tabbies, and saw a bunch of photos I'd taken of Mickey, and immediately fell in love, and rang first thing today to say they'd be in today and taking him home.
I am SOOOO pleased!!! I think he may have a tough time settling in after spending 9 months in the shelter after arriving as a 6 month old, an entire house to himself might be a bit much, but they know to take things slowly, and sound like lovely people, so everyone please send lots of good vibes for Mickey settling in!!!!
