I "adopted" Scooter

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Sorry to mislead you, but I didn't actually bring her home, I'm actually "sponsoring" her which means I'm paying $20.00 a month to go towards her care.

I came across The Hermitage Cat Shelter's web site and started looking through it when I saw this.

Scooter can't move her back legs, but don't tell her that! You'd be surprised how quickly she goes flying around the room!

Now look at this.


The first one is Scooter, the second one is Peanut when she was about 1 year old. Can you see why I fell in love with Scooter? I can't believe even the background blue is so similar!

The shelter is going to be sending me pics and updates on Scooter. We will also be visiting Tucson at the end of April, so I hope to be able to meet my new little Scootie girl at that time. It's strictly a sponsor thing though. As you all know, Terry won't allow anymore cats in the house so I have to console myself with sending money and getting updates on her.

If you look at the website under "Support Us" then under "Sponsor a cat" then "show me cats I can sponsor" about half way down you will also see Scootch, an adorable attention grabbing blackie that is also looking for a sponsor and reminds me so much of another blackie attention monger I knew once. I just started paying back all my student loans, so if a few months go by and I see it's not affecting me too seriously financially, I'm also going to sponsor Scootch.

This all just came about last week so I haven't gotten any updates from Scooter yet, but when I do I'll be sure and let you know. The lady from the shelter said they had a little photo shoot the other day, so I'm anxiously awaiting pics.

Anyway, just wanted to share "my" new little girlie with you all.

As soon as I saw that first photo, I thought - It's a Peanut Twin! I didn't even need the comparison shot! She's beautiful (of course) and I'm glad you're spponsoring her!

That is a wonderful thing to do. 1by1 has a sponsirship program especially for those who can't take a cat home. It pays A LOT of our bills. It is a very important program. Thank you for doing that for Scooter.

I wonder if she is as tiny and dainty as Peanut but she could be her twin! She is so lovely!

Scooter is gorgeous! That's a lovely idea to sponsor her. These schemes are a great idea. You must keep us updated on Scooter.

Debbie, Scooter sure is gorgeous and I also think that she looks like your Peanut. This is such a wonderful thing that you're doing.
