Sabrina came to WHS almost a year ago. Landlord issues forced her owner to give her up last April. An ebony-ivory beauty, Sabrina was eye catching, but potential adopters passed her by because she had a little cat-titude. She didn’t like to be petted, so it was hard for people to get to know her and the longer she was in the shelter the less interested she was in people’s affections. The WHS staff started to wonder if Sabrina would ever find a forever home.
Then on the 5th of February fate struck! A nice lady named Brittany walked through our shelter doors and into Sabrina’s life. Brittany shocked everyone when she opened Sabrina’s cage and scooped her up in her arms like she had known her for years. At that moment we knew Sabrina was no longer an orphan! Her new mom renamed her Lulu. We are thrilled to report that Lulu loves her new life and her adopted family couldn’t be happier.
We hope that all of our shelter orphans get happy endings like this. If you have room in your heart and in your home, please consider adopting one of our shelter pets. Visit our website to see all of our adorable animals.
This is great. You really never know who will be right for you. We got our cat as a stray (from a parking lot outside a cheap motel in the south - where shelter animals are put to sleep after 7 days?). Had she been in shelter environment, I'm not sure anyone would have ever seen her beauty. It can be hard to realize in a small cage with so much activity around how great an animal is.
Our momma cat is very quirky (she's totally nuts, let's just put it that way)and doesn't much like other cats, but lives with 3 of them anyway (they were some of her kittens). However, they all do fine. The more affection the mom gets, the happier she is. Sometimes I take her outside with me for a break and she is thrilled.
She isn't always that nice to the kittens, but never harms them. The kittens are through and through sweet and playful, but I would never give the quirky, crazy mom up in a million years. You can tell every day how thankful she is too and that is a nice reward right there.
