Welcome to MY Life


I'll bet you've always wondered what it's like to be a homeless cat who ends up in a shelter but uses her looks and charm to score a sweet foster home, right? Well, It's your lucky day because I am here to tell you ALL about it!

Well, let's get started then. Here's the "skinny" (literally) on me. I'm pretty sure I had a nice home at some point, though I really can't remember. Up until recently, I was a stray cat working hard to make ends meet on the streets of Denver, CO, and all of a sudden I got picked up by some people who brought me to the MaxFund animal shelter. Lucky for me, MaxFund is a no-kill shelter or I would have been in trouble. You see, I was pretty bad off when I got there. I weighed about 4 pounds and I looked like something the cat dragged in (he, he), but I had a relatively clean bill of health so I was there to stay until I found my forever home.

I am a "people cat", so living in a tiny metal cage at the shelter did NOT work for me. All of the potential adopters that said that I was "so tiny" (translation = skeleton with fur) that they were worried I was sick. Well, I'm not sick, but I'm not really well either. So, that's where my foster parents come into the picture. They both volunteer at the shelter and they' ve been keeping a close eye on me since the beginning, but they knew that until I gained some weight and got back into fighting shape I wasn't likely to get out of there. Long story short, here I am living with them for a while until I find the perfect family to adopt me permanently. Pretty fab, huh?

Don't get too excited, there's a catch. They can only keep me for two months, so I have to get well and get adopted before they have to take me back to the shelter (blech!). See, here's where YOU come in. I just know you are sitting there reading this thinking, "this cat is awesome, I must adopt her". Easy enough, I am available to be your's forever. How? Just contact my foster mom and dad, who will tell you all about me and how you can adopt me from MaxFund. Simple enough, right? Well, get going already. I've been waiting a long time to meet you and you can't imagine how happy I am that you want to meet me too!! See you soon...
