I saw this on another site and wanted to share it with you.

SECOND HAND CAT
(Anon)

Give us a chance who are not brand new,
Who would love a home with someone like you.
We may have been around a bit,
Received many a blow and many a kick,
Starved and neglected most of our days,
Yet we are forgiving anyways.

But now's our chance to start anew,
A home with love that we never knew.
So, before a kitten you're tempted to pick,
Give us a look, but not too quick.
Look at the character in our face,
And our bodies, still full of grace.

Just think of us, day after day,
Watching people look and walk away.
But say the word 'yes' and we will know -
Our bags are packed and we're ready to go

I have a friend that said she would pick the most unlikely cat to be picked that is probably the ugliest and the worst temprament, or something like that to save the "child". It takes a special person!

OMG that's so true. I tell people all the time an older cat loves the same as a younger one.

That is so beautiful & so true

Love this part: Look at the character in our face, And our bodies, still full of grace.

Adult cats are just as beautiful as little kittens. We adopted Snowball when he was 1 year old & it was the best decision! He is such a happy cat. When he passes away, in his honor, we will adopt another cat who needed a home like he did...We know he'll appreciate that

As a shelter volunteer, that totally touches my heart & makes me think of some of my favorites who have found forever homes. It is a wonderful thing when people take the more difficult to adopt cats. We've had people come in & ask for the cat that is hardest to adopt out. Recently we adopted out two cats that had been feral and were with us for 4 years. With in a month they were sleeping on the bed with the couple that adopted them. It is so beautiful to see the photos of them happy & relaxed.
