This is Tracy, a pretty Tuxedo gal who was brought to the SPCA back on 6/10. She'd gotten caught in a steel jaw leg trap! One of her front paws had been broken, and for a while they were afraid they would need to amputate, but she healed just fine and can walk and run on that paw without problems!

She has been at the shelter for FIVE MONTHS! We put up fliers all over the place trying to find her a home all summer long. After all she'd endured, the shelter manager knew he would keep her forever if need be, unless she was adopted.

We went in today to update Petfinder, and the news was all over: "Tracy was ADOPTED!" She went to her new furrever home yesterday. I wish her all the best and lots of love and happiness there!!!!

Tybalt and I are IN LOVE with the senior dilute calico! She is such a sweetheart! I took her out of the cage to hold her...she's got bones like a bird, so fragile! Her coat is matted and needs a good brushing, but she wrapped her paws around my neck, purred, and gave me headbonks. She has gorgeous gold-green eyes.

We are going to talk to the shelter manager about taking her in, since we already have several senior cats, including one (Tillie) who is declawed and missing teeth. This gorgeous lady needs a home with no kids, where she can sleep on a heated kitty bed (like Tillie does), take kitty arthritis meds (like Tillie does), and get loads of love (like all our cats do!)

She came in as a stray. I wonder how anyone would let a 4 paw declawed, toothless cat outside!?

Yes, that Calico is so cute! She's a real laid back, very sweet kitty.

Oh, if anyone remembers the black cat from the shelter that we were thinking about adopting a few weeks ago, she was adopted too!
So was that gorgeous flame point Ragdoll. Adoptions are up, it's a wonderful thing.
