HH Perry

There's nothing more gratifying than saving the life of a beautiful, wonderful being, whatever the species.  The cats and dogs that make it out of the high-kill shelter are the lucky ones - but getting rescued is only half of the equation. Finding a perfect home is the other half.

At the garage cattery, one of our most magnificent individuals, Perry, a silver Maine coon --curious, playful and brilliant-- recently found his way into the heart and home of Paula, a wonderful, open and loving human, and completed his long, arduous journey home.

It's been nearly two weeks now and, though the ride was a bit bumpy at the start, (Perry was terrified to leave the garage, escaped the carrying case, to mention a few examples), everything unfolded beautifully. Paula reports that he's got a very silly personality, and is very affectionate and loving. He's no dummy - he realized he hit the jackpot and settled in fast!! We are all overjoyed!

We love Perry's new name, which sounds appropriately like his old name (so as not to confuse him): Hairy Harry aka HH, or His Honor. He is a magnificent cat, very princely (Prince Hal!)-- this name really suits him. And he even has a trusty canine sidekick, who is likely to grow into a loyal subject over time!

For all rescues, leaving the crowded cattery means they leave their buddies and the routines of the cattery behind. It also means adjusting to a new, calm environment with fresh air and the prospect of plenty of love and attention.  We are so grateful to Paula --and all our adoptive and foster humans -- for opening their generous hearts to share their lives with our little dudes.

Here's to a lovely, loving future together!
