A few "happy tales" adoptions from Saturday's shift:

Connor, a "Back Shelf" cat, who had been at the SPCA since March. He was a stray so had no history and was an all-black cat, both strikes against his chances of getting adopted. Though, a nice woman in her 20s fell in love with this beautiful boy and (hopefully) took him home today.

Mark, a 4-month-old kitten born at the SPCA to Megan. This little guy stood out from the rest of his brothers and sisters - he became blind. Though not being able to see never stopped him from exploring his cage and craning his neck towards the voices of visitors who passed by him. I cuddled him while a co-worker went over the adoption paperwork with his new owners, and after a few minutes of squirming around, he settled down in my arms and began to purr. Such a lucky little loverboy!

 

And this little (relatively speaking) girl also found a home. Her name was Sweetie and she was a 5-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog/St. Bernard mix... needless to say, she's going to be a biiiiiiiig girl when fully grown at about 2 years. She was already nearly 50 pounds! Her new owners live in Philadelphia, so she will spend a few more days at the SPCA until she can be spayed.
