Still a Bad Influence

I posted this under another thread, but am sharing it here in the "Cat General" section:

One kind Pet Talker member recently accused me of giving animal rights people a bad name. Well, it looks like I've continued my very bad ways. I am constantly preaching the virtues of animal adoption to people I meet and with whom I work. "Adopt from the shelter," I say. "Phooey on designer dogs and cats!"

On yesterday, one of the developers with whom I work informed me that he and his wife decided to follow my advice and adopt an animal from the Memphis animal shelter. They got a cat. It just so happens that while they were filling out the papers, the shelter manager found out that the cat had been scheduled for euthanization several weeks ago. The paperwork had evidently been misplaced and was only found when my coworker and his wife went to collect the cat.

Hm...

They named her Zanne:

Aaawww what a beauty. I suppose some higher powers mixed the papers up because they knew that the new purrents were waiting for Zanne.

She looks like she is in charge of the household already. It's good to see you back!

What a gorgeous girl she is, and look at those paws! She seems to fit right in there. It must be wonderful for her to have some space now. How lucky she was to be saved. I like the name Zanne. Do you know her age?

Oh! She is gorgeous! Glad the paperwork was misplaced at the shelter and she got a home!
