How Kind of You to pick out Jade

[KittyGurl]

Meowy, Jade!!!
You are a beautiful cat. How could someone not want you no more. Your family is lucky and blessed to have you as their cat. Your family knew you were the right cat. They knew it wasn't right for you (or any animal) to be in the shelter.
Have a purrrrfect day. Get lots of love from your mommy.

~HAPPY COTD, JADE~

What a beautiful girl Jade is! I'm so glad that you decided to take her home with you and show her that people can be nice and loving and that she deserved to be loved and cherished. She has a sweet face, and looks like an angel. Happy cat of the day dear girl!

Bless you and your family for rescuing Jade from her misery. I cannot imagine how helpless and frightened she must have been, having been dumped by a heartless person.

I really have to take issue with this and some of the other statements in this thread. From some of the terms Jade's human used in her story, I think we're talking about a shelter at a military base. Jade's previous owner may have been deployed overseas, or into another situation where he/she could not take a pet along. And she was in a shelter where she would be fed and cared for, not dumped at the side of the road.

I'm starting to get really discouraged by some of the people active in cat rescue. I've got news for you: LIFE HAPPENS. It is, believe it or not, possible for someone to develop an allergy after childhood. It happened to me. And if I do end up homeless, I don't want to be condemned as heartless and unfeeling just because I give up my cats to a shelter or a rescue organization. Some of us just don't feel comfortable discussing all of our business to people who can't do anything to fix it.

I agree. I found my beautiful cat Mickey in the animal shelter with a note from his guardian asking someone to take care of her beloved pet. The note rang true; I'm sure that something terrible happened to make her put Mickey at the mercy of others. Of course, I took Mickey home and let him keep his name.
