Spike's Happy Ending

Hi Everyone,

We are so happy that Spike has come to live with us. We have had a very empty home since having lost our cat two years ago and our dog last fall. It seems that we spent a long time looking for the right cat. We must have been just

waiting for Spike. One look at his picture on the website and it was a match made in heaven. Once we made our visit to your shelter and were able to spend a little time with your resident cats we knew that Spike was the one for us.

Spike was a little wary when we first brought him home but it didn't take long for him to adjust to his new surroundings. He is quite a character and very playful. Spike loves his toys and especially the ball. He thinks that he is a retriever because he chases the ball and then returns it to you to throw again. He continues to do this until he tires of the game and reverts to being a cat. Spike is not one who likes to be held. He doesn't mind being cuddled for a moment but he does really enjoy being close to us. No matter where we are in the house he follows and stays by our side.

Thanks so much for the job you do at the shelter. Spike was a happy, well adjusted cat from the moment he arrived. Keep up the good work.

Ed, Anne & Spike
