Ladies & Gentlemen,
Several days ago Nancy & Curtis Sliwa adopted a 15 year old gray tabby cat from Animal Care & Control (AC&C). The past few weeks AC&C has been reaching out to the public to adopt animals because of overcrowding and the possibility that animals will be euthanized before the minimum holding time of 72 hours. When looking through the online site Nancy was immediately drawn to a 15 year old cat. He had only that day left for adoption before he was to be euthanized and sadly highly unlikely to be adopted given his advanced age and the fact that he is completely blind.
Can you imagine what goes through the mind of a 15 year old cat whose only owner they have ever known surrenders them to a shelter? Or the terror they must feel when they can’t see where they’ve been taken or understand what’s going on and why they’re being shuffled around? While the cause of this cat’s blindness is unclear there is no doubt after a follow up vet visit this week it has been confirmed the cat is completely blind.
When trying to adopt this beautiful cat Nancy emailed several times and left multiple messages asking about the cats availability but nobody answered the calls or responded to the messages so Nancy rushed to the shelter that day to find out if the cat was still available….and fortunately he was! Now that his life has been spared and he has found a place to call home there are many adjustments that will be made in the home to make his life easier at this very tough time in his life. But for now we need to come up with a name for this sweet guy and any suggestions would be most appreciated.
DURING THIS HEAT WAVE PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LEAVE OUT WATER FOR CATS, DOGS, BIRDS & ANY OTHER CREATURES WHO WILL HAVE TROUBLE FINDING WATER DURING THIS DANGEROUS TIME
