Her Early Days: “I'm not sure where her story begins,” says Alice, “but she was found living in an alley and was having a hard time hunting for food.”
How They Met: “I saw her at Kay’s Shelter in Arlington Heights. She was three or four years old, weighed four pounds and looked like she'd been through a war.”

First Diva Moment: “At the shelter she didn't want anyone touching her, but she allowed me to pick her up. I haven’t put her down since.”

Hobbies: “Sleeping through the day in the warm kitchen and standing on the counter meowing until she gets fed!”

Payback Time: “We’ve been together for 17 ? years and she really has been through thick and thin with me. Now that we’re both a lot older, it’s nice to be able to give her the all the spoiling she needs!”

First Impressions: “There were several tiny kittens available—but I knew right away that I had to have the one older kitten cowering in the back, the one who seemed unwanted, like an outsider.” How She Got Her Name: “Cassie is short for ‘Casserole,’ since she has so many beautiful calico colors.”

How She Maintains Her Youth: “We live on a lot of land and she loves climbing trees. When I come home from school, she comes running up to greet me before I can even get out of my car.” Why Mom Loves Her: “We grew up together—I’m now 22 and she’s 16. My life would've been so empty without her. Cassie has been a blessing to our family!”

Good Morning! Have you heard of the title of that movie, "A Tale of Two Cities"? Well, I have a new subject title: "A Tale of Two Cats"! As I do each and every June, I'm back to remind you that June is "Adopt a Shelter Cat Month"! Only this year, we turn the spotlight on Elderly Cats... "who've retired into luxurious windowsill lounging, reminiscing over their lifetime of cat-napping and chasing felt mousies" (crank up Tony Bennett singing "The Good Life"!). Need a shelter location in your city? No worries! Contact ASPCA by scrolling down the right hand margin of my Blogsite until you see their logo and then simply "Click On" the logo. You will find a shelter close to you quickly. Consider an older cat. Aside from being a delight, they are each excitedly awaiting a good home and a loving person to love them! Maybe today would be a good time to visit!

Enjoy Your Saturday!
