Not sure if anyone remembers my thread in the SOS forum, asking for help to save Harry:

http://www.thecatsite.com/t/236108/can-anyone-save-harry

In Brief to the SOS thread:

Harry was an older shelter cat, who was very aggressive to other cats. He had to be contained alone in the storage room where he could not hurt other cats. Harry's blind in one eye, and really is a very sweet cat, but when he sees other cats, something snaps inside him. He was getting worse in the shelter in the year he was there. Eilene, the shelter leader, took Harry home to her 6 other cats. While this helped a a little, Harry was still going berserk over other cats and still had to be kept confined alone. Eilene was torn with helping Harry to the rainbow bridge or keep trying. It was a long emotional battle for every volunteer that pitched in. Hero Eilene did everything she could to not give up on him.

Months later of struggling with the mentally ill feline, Harry has FINALLY FOUND A FOREVER HOME!!! And in time for Christmas!! The woman who adopted him had lost her single cat recently.. and she wanted another cat to be single in her home.. What a perfect fit!

From the foster who brought Harry to his new home:

"It was one of the best deliveries yet.. those who know Harry know how tough he has had it- when we left him with his new mom yesterday, he was playing with his new catnip sock puppet and curled up on the couch"

If this isn't a happy cat, I don't know what it is!!!

I nearly cried when I read that email!

And in addition to: the 11 year old siamese, Solly, that's the only survivor of a pet hoarder's house who had serious trust issues with humans, got a home too! He only got along with one other cat, Jasmine, at the shelter, and she's going home WITH him!! They were in the shelter for almost a year. They will be leaving the shelter to his new home after christmas as the owners are renovating their house. So excited!!!

  Thank you for sharing.  I remember reading about him and I'm so glad he found a happy home.

What a happy looking kitty! Looks like he found his forever home and knows it! Talk about looking contented.  Love the stretched out toes on the back paws and the one front one!!!  Sweet!
