Gimme Shelter

Todays post is a subject near and dear to my heart... Rescues.

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a cat people. (:

I'm a firm believer in procuring my pets from shelters, no- kill, or otherwise. I have no patience for irresponsible pet parenting. These beautiful babies right here should convince you. They were actually adopted by the time we took these pics, but the shelter had to use money to rent a space in the mall in order for this to happen. That's money they could have used to take care of more animals.


Have you ever seen markings like this on a cat before?!



These two reminded me of two of my previous, and deeply missed loves.

The first cat we had, well, to be truthful, adopted us. Just followed one of my parents into the apartment one day. The first fuzzy one here^, reminds me of the first cat I can remember, who decided my dads parking spot, occupied or otherwise, was going to be his new home. Yeeeaaahhh, no. In he came, got cleaned up, and became the best lap-cat in the universe.
The shorthair was a kitten that got (literally) tossed onto a neighbors porch, and being as how Fluffycat had recently passed from skin cancer, they gave us the kitten rather than take him to the shelter. Hello Chuckles of the striped mouth, and awesome fetching skills!
And these little twits.

Both my girls were adopted after we moved up here. Mona was actually "Free" which meant she'd been there so long, they didn't even care about the donation, just give her a home! Issue kitty, but even 5 years later, she gets a little better all the time.

Please, get your pets fixed! Adoption is the best way to get a pet. They need someone to love as much as you do! And as usual...

Thanks for Noticing me!
