Congratulations and what a beautiful fur baby! We just rescued a lab mix puppy. If we hadn't taken her (cost $71 to cover spaying and shots) she would have been put down the next morning. She is wonderful and fits in with the other 3 very well. Now, the cat has taken a while to warm up.

Oregon Humane society has a wonderful program where dogs over 6yrs are about $85 and as another older female, my discount was $50!!!!

And so Lyla found me! She knew I needed her and I'm just so thrilled to hear a tail "whap" the floor again! I'll be forever grateful to Rebecca of burchquilts for her post! Will send a copy to the humane society.

So glad you have a "new" pet - and I'm glad you were able to adopt! I had a co-worker who had 2 cats for years, one of them darted out the door as she was leaving one day. She was heartbroken - put up flyers, posted ads, checked the humane society for months. Finally she decided it was time to move on and went to the humane society to adopt another cat. They refused - they said because she lost one cat, she was an unfit pet-parent. Good grief.

Peggi, that is so sad!!! Please tell her that there many places with cats to adopt and she should not give up (as I almost did).
