Yes, Laura - your comment really sums up what bothers me about Fluffy. Not only do I feel upset at the family who would not keep her, but at the thought that this kitty is as you say - a feeling being who looks so sad and confused. I mean - I understand why not all of my kids would be willing to keep ALL of our cats - but this is just one beautiful companion animal! Of course I have no idea why the rest of the family did not want her - but couldn't they have found a home for her and not relinquish her to the shelter?? This shelter is not no-kill I don't know how long they keep the animals but it likely depends on how many animals they have.

Donna, I am so glad that you like to foster seniors. Thank you for your comments and the assurance that you understand how I feel.

Catnapper - I hope that they find her soon and give her lots of love. At least Fluffy is being shown at PetsMart and I hope that helps her chances. The sign also says she had been fostered so I am hoping she has a loving foster home to return to.

And, I think I need to stop visiting the kitties at PetsMart.
