We are experiencing our first winter storm of 2012. Looks like we will for sure have a White Christmas! Its blustery cold out today. As I watch my indoor kitties look out the window, I wonder what is going on in their head. Are they happy to be inside? Are they wishing they could go out and "play" and make kitty angels in the snow? What goes on in my head is how many there are out there that don't have a warm cozy window to peer out of...I don't mean our community cats so much. I know they can survive, it's all they have ever known. They most likely have a warm hole somewhere and even other warm kitty bodies to snuggle with when the going gets tough. I'm thinking of the ones who have been thrown away, or abandoned or have gotten themselves lost. How do they handle it, not being "street wise" like Mrs. Gray, Franks and EJ?...
I am grateful that we have been able to rescue several from the throws of winter. These are at AVC, waiting and hoping for a new home to call their very own.
This is Sylvester. He was found in a field by a farmer. Thinking this nice boy had been attacked, he took him to AVC. We found him to be friendly and very lovable! He is currently being treated for a severe case of ear mites and a skin infection and very soon he will be ready to find a new home. We are happy he is out of the field.
This is sweet Roscoe! I found him on my porch last week crying. He is a beautiful boy who is just as friendly as anything. He likes his space, but when given the choice, he will crawl right up into your lap and heart!
So at least these two aren't out in the blizzard, wondering where they are and when and what they will get to eat. Being in a cage at AVC is much better than that! BUT what would be the best??? A forever home with a family.....like yours!!
