Our newest furry friend from The Seattle/King Co. Humane Society arrived last night to stay with us and recover from a little cold. Baby is a medium fluffy tabby with a very sweet disposition and a lot of energy. As soon as she laid eyes on us, Baby started purring like an engine and just couldn't get enough attention. Since she's staying with us for a short time until she feels a bit better, Baby won't be up for adoption for a little while. But as soon as she's ready to go, I have no doubt she'll be very popular back at the shelter and won't have to wait very long to find a new home.
Baby is an adult cat, about three years old. It’s good to remember once in a while that, in addition to all the kittens, there are a lot of adult cats waiting for adoption at local shelters as well. For someone who may not have the time to devote to raising a young kitten, an older cat can be just the ticket. Of course, this isn’t to say that adult cats don’t also like to play – I’m pretty sure Baby has just as much energy as any kitten we’ve fostered in recent years. In addition, unlike a kitten who has a lot of growing to do, an adult cat’s personality, her likes and dislikes, daily habits, favorite foods, etc. are well known as soon as you meet her. In our case, we don’t have to wonder if Baby will grow up to be a friendly lap kitty – we already know she is.
As with our other fosters, we'll post updates on Baby on our web site as she recovers from her cold. If you might be interested in adopting Baby when she's better, please contact the Humane Society for more information.
