In June 2008, my 16 year old Tuxedo Cat, Chaz, had to be put to sleep. She was my best friend and it was very hard on me. I decided to get another cat to try and ease the pain, but I didn't think I'd love another as much as I loved Chaz. I was getting ready to head to a shelter close to my home, but a good friend strongly advised I go to Baypath. She told me what a great group of people they had working there and that my adoption would be handled with the utmost compassion and thoroughness.
The moment my parents and I walked in to the cat complex, an adorable
pastel Tortie approached my mom, got up on her hind feet and put her front
paws on Mom's legs. She looked up at my Mom as if to say "please take
me". That was it...I had found my next best friend. Her name was
"Juniper Breeze" when I adopted her, but I renamed her "Isis". Isis is
a love. She's extremely affectionate and follows me everywhere. She
jumps up to the front window and meows when I get home, and can't wait for
me to come in the door.
I know there could have been extenuating circumstances for the
person/family who once owned her, but I couldn't believe that someone
could have given her up. I felt so bad for their loss, but happy for my
gain. Isis brings happiness and love into my life every single day.
Thank you Baypath!
