There's hope? Read about the special rooms at Best Friends...and maybe we could chip in a sponsor Ally? The website says $25 - but I don't know if that is per month or what. (there are over 80 cats waiting for sponsors! )

Jenn - maybe if a few people PM'd you, and you could tell BF that Ally can be sponsored...I know it is just after Christmas, but if a bit could be chipped in...heck, are there enough "Ally" funds left over to sponsor her?

"Last year, several animals from around the sanctuary came up with New Year's resolutions. Lois the cat, who has an ornery streak, resolved to harass as many people as possible. And guess what? She did pretty well all year long and then failed miserably right at the end by turning into a (mostly) gentle gal. That's sort of like Evel Knievel trading in his motorcycle for a Segway people mover."

"Lois has been a feisty girl since day one at Best Friends. Her favorite pastime used to be perching on a tall scratching post in one of the cat lobby areas, and then waiting for some unsuspecting visitor to scare. She's no stranger to hissing or swatting. But in the end, seems all she needed to become a gentler Lois was a little privacy. She just doesn't like other cats!"

"After moving into the Cinders Suite, a room reserved for cats who prefer to live alone, she has mellowed out in a huge way. Caregivers can now brush her and trim one toe every other day or so. That's huge. Even so, Lois still knows how to let out a good hiss every now and again to remind people she hasn't lost her spunk. She's just playing it cool in her new private studio apartment. We're glad things have worked out for you, Lois, but better luck this year making a resolution you're sure to keep!"
