"My cat of 12 years died this week, and the next day I went to the shelter to pet some kitties since I've never been without a cat. I ended up coming home with the only cat there. This is Charlie! He's five years old and was surrendered by his old owners and had been there a while. :("

"'20, neighbors were moving, didn't want their cat anymore. Said she was 6yo, wasn't social, hides all day, etc. It took almost a year before she became a totally different cat. Now she has been my best baking partner. Her name is Pancakes. She loves cuddles."

"My Mina was dropped off at this shelter because she was "overly clingy" and liked to tear up napkins and tissue paper... She's been the perfect companion. I can't believe anyone could think she was a bother."
