Thank you for helping everyone at the library as well as all those kitties! You have a big heart!
What's the little guy's name?
This little guy was found crying on my doorstep one rainy morning before work. I brought him in and cleaned him up and named him Poseidon! He was such a fantastic snuggler, always curling up on my shoulder next to my neck. The Humane Society took him into their program, vetted him, and he's in a very happy home with the new name of Cooper. I'm friends with his new mom and get the unusual privilege of seeing him grow up, safe and loved!
