A Facebook friend of mine who runs a rescue shared this article today. I thought it was cute, hopefully people take it to heart!
Anyone else ever adopt an "unwanted" or "special needs" kitty from a shelter? I adopted my kitty Clarise after all of her kittens were adopted and nobody wanted the cranky adult calico cat. She was the sweetest, gentlest, little girl I could ever have asked for. (RIP Clarise, I love you!)
Let's talk about cat adoption. My next cat will be the ugliest, oldest, least-adoptable cat in the shelter. You know that plain black cat in the corner with no unique markings? The one who's been waiting patiently, purring his best but getting passed over day after day, month after month? Or the poor kitty who needs to eat special food or visit the vet more often for an existing condition that is otherwise under control? Or that old lady feline who has been waiting patiently and living her life for years at the shelter, but has never known a couch or a bed?
