What a handsome, fluffy guy you are, Pieper! You look perfectly suited for that snowy day, what with that thick coat, ear tufts and furry paw! And of course, as a Maine Coon, your breed is from a snowy place, too! We are so glad you were rescued from that horrible beginning, and then your human found you at the shelter and knew you needed love, medicine and good care to become healthy. One would never think now you were ever a sickly kitty, you look so gorgeous and you coat - always a good gauge of a cat's healthy - is now lush and full. Congratulations, Mr. Pieper -- not only do you have a good forever home now, you are Cat of the Day for the whole world to celebrate!
