Shelter Kitten – Purrscilla
Purrscilla, a 12-week-old kitten with a memorable look and an even more memorable personality, heard that blonds have more fun. After waiting to be noticed among shelter cats, the fluffy, subtly multi-colored torbie believes it. Purrscilla saw flashy yellow cats go home, while no one even bothered to notice that she was actually a more colorful kitten.
As a torbie, Purrscilla’s delicate face is decorated with orange and orange is woven through her entire coat. She also has stripes, stripes so tactful that someone needs to search to see them. That searching could entertain Purrscilla’s owner during a lifetime of cuddly evenings.
And although blondes may have fun, they aren’t any more fun for their person. Purrscilla is begging for her chance to prove that.
Alvin is a Border Collie. That’s the first thing that someone should think about when he contemplates adding Alvin to the family. Instead of being dazzled by Alvin’s sophisticated black-and-white animated body or enchanted by the sparkle in his eyes, someone falling in love should remember the characteristics that make Border Collies amazing.
Even though he’s wearing a fashionable, sophisticated tuxedo, Purrcy is the youngest, most overwhelmed creature in the shelter. The seven-week-old kitten is alone, even though kittens shouldn’t leave their mamas until they’re at least eight weeks old. Yet, people explained that they found Purrcy in their front yard. Someone has been unkind and unfair to Purrcy.
Barry’s a life-of-the-party kitten who enjoys a play-filled life and someone to cuddle with when he’s tired. Barry had that, at first, when he and his littermates came to the shelter. However, one by one, Barry’s beloved siblings and playmates were carried out of the Shelter’s cat room. Life became boring and lonely.
Sometimes people trust the wrong friend. Good dogs, like two-year-old Gamma, usually trust everyone. The person who said that he wanted a dog must have realized that he was getting a great one, in elegant, interested, ready-to-adore Gamma. So, everyone involved would have been smiling, or wagging, as the new person led the Dutch Shepherd mix away.
It’s hard to plan ahead with limited information. Sweet, adores-everyone, black Labrador-mix Dobby realized that he had a heart big enough to hold lots of love. However, Dobby didn’t know that he’d grow into a handsome, 10-month-old pup with a body to match his heart. Dobby’s now a 70-pound puppy. Dobby didn’t know that size could be a problem.
The older couple saw the fluffy, huggable, snowball of a puppy. They, like anyone with a heart would be, were smitten. The white, Husky-mix puppy grew, in affection, energy and, finally, size. Now the seven-month-old pup, named Snow, weighs 50 pounds. That’s not a large size, unless someone is older and isn’t prepared for a Husky’s energy level.
It’s always cruel to abandon an eight-week-old kitten. Sometimes it crosses the line to sadistic. By the time nearly dehydrated Chloe made it to the shelter, on a 90-plus-degree day, the fit-in-a woman’s-palm calico had excruciating asphalt burns on her paws and whiskers. Chloe must have been abandoned to toddle down a scorching highway.
The Shelter director says that Speaker, a beautiful creation of Mother Nature, a seven-month-old, multi-colored Tabico kitten, is the friendliest feline in the Shelter. Unfortunately, now, Speaker is also the loneliest. The little lady, who loved to meow to her sisters and visitors, doesn’t have anyone to talk to lately.
