Getting a Cat at a Shelter

Getting a cat at a shelter can be a rewarding experience for both the cat and its owner. At the about.com website Jen Hubley shared an attention grabbing account of her Aunt Cheryl's acquisition of Pumpkin. This quote shows what brought it about: "Pumpkin reached out his paw from between the bars of his cage, patted my aunt's shoulder, and then snaked his paw back in." That's all it took to create the lasting relationship that followed. From a cage to the comfort of a home.
