Atticus Finch was the name of the lead character in ‘To Kill A Mocking Bird”. Atticus is also a fabulous name for a cat and our Atticus would prefer to keep it. Atticus has lost two homes in his 6 years and I think we can, at least, let him keep his name. He, and his brother Polaris, were born July 15, 2004. Their first home was lost because their family preferred their new dog and since the cats didn’t appreciate the existence of the dog in their home, the cats were given away. Their second home was lost due to a very difficult family situation. Animal Aide was asked to accept them into the shelter and on March 13, 2010, Atticus and Polaris were tearfully surrendered to us. Both boys are orange and white tabbys and are front declawed. They are both understandably upset at the moment. Hopefully, they will settle in and show everyone how fabulous we were told that they are. Atticus likes to cuddle and is very affectionate but he prefers to keep a certain distance between his face and yours. While they are brothers, we were told that they don’t get along terribly well with each other so they do not need to be adopted together. Their last Mom suggested that they might be better off if there were no children or dogs in the home as they have no experience with the former and unpleasant experiences with the latter. Atticus can be seen at 333 Talbot St., St. Thomas, 519-633-3788 or e-mail us.
A LITERARY CAT FOR SURE
You will have to forgive Lacey for looking a little bit grumpy in her picture. She had just lost her home. Without consulting Lacey, her owners decided to surrender her to the city pound. Apparently, they were moving and couldn’t take her with them. While she may appear to be unfriendly, she is anything but. When the door to her cage opens she almost puts on a smile and prepares herself to be loved. Lacey is approximately 3 years old….practically a baby. She is declawed, which seems to be very popular with you folks with leather furniture. Lacey is a pretty tabby with medium length fur and big green eyes. She is using those eyes to watch for you………you, who will be coming to take her home. Just try to walk past her at 333 Talbot St., St. Thomas, 519-633-3788 or e-mail us.
WALK HER WAY TODAY
Poor Polaris has now had two homes and lost both, through no fault of his own. Unfortunately, his owners’ circumstances changed and they were not able to keep him or his brother, Atticus. We met these boys on March 13, 2010, and they are both very upset, but under normal circumstances, Polaris is a very friendly boy who wants lots of attention and the most comfortable place to sleep, in his opinion, is on the chest of his human mother. Polaris is a 6 year old declawed, large orange and white tabby. He is upset about losing his home right now and needs to find a home quickly where he will be loved for the rest of his life. Polaris and Atticus don’t get along that well and we have been told that they would likely do better in separate homes. If you can give this sweet boy a home, you will have a friend for life. Please come to Animal Aide to meet Polaris This is one of those rare times when we know an exact birth date for a newly acquired adult cat – Polaris and his brother were born on July 15, 2004. Please come meet Polaris and give him the final home he deserves. You can meet Polaris at Animal Aide, 333 Talbot Street, by calling us at 519-633-3788 or send us an email.
The third time’s the charm for Polaris!
