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.
