Shelter Cat – Cream
Repeatedly, how many times only Cream knows, he had to win a new home. When Cream met his most recent person, the ten-year-old, neutered, Maine Coon mix was living unsuccessfully outdoors. Cream was so sick the person contacted the Grant County Friends of the Shelter to help him.
Cream was near death from FIP, which isn’t contagious but, until a year ago, was always fatal. Now there’s a miracle drug, but it’s expensive and requires months of faithful administration. The person who saw Cream staggering outside her door brought him inside and took on the task.
Now Cream is well, but his lifelong bad luck isn’t over. Tearfully Cream’s newest person contacted the shelter, explaining that she’d lost her home. Cream is homeless again, too.
Hazel is a mystery, in some ways. It’s a mystery that this cute, responsive pup-of-a-certain-age, who’s obviously loved people for her six years of life, was wandering. It’s mysterious that no one has come for the beautifully behaved little lady, especially since Hazel seems to be expecting her person.
The Tango “is a partner dance”. That name fits the pup Tango, because he’s a partner pup. The golden boy, with golden eyes, a golden Labrador coat and a golden heart, longs to be someone’s partner, sidekick, best friend, lifelong companion. Having a friend makes Tango absolutely radiant.
All shelter pets are more appealing in person than in their photo. It’s the sparkle in their eyes, the way their ears perk, the hopeful expression when they see a potential friend that shows that they’re special. That is especially true of eight-month-old, spayed Silk. A newsprint photo can’t capture a sweet star-white kitten, with a pink nose and pink-lined ears.
Spock, who’s a nearly grown, ten-month-old, 28-pound, neutered, Husky-small hound mix, knew nothing about the world, about people, about dogs of all shapes and sizes, about leashes. He knew his humans, Mama and 11 littermates. Spock thought that was surely the world. So, Spock believed that he understood life.
