The Cat That Made a Difference

Forging a special bond was easy with this precious pussycat

- June Middlebrough

An advertisement in the newspaper stating that the local SPCA was promoting a campaign called “Home for Christmas,” appealing to local residents to give their numerous older cats a chance at a forever home, prompted my husband and I to visit the shelter. As we were chatting with the worker, an orange cat perched on a cat tree eyed us closely, then reached out with a paw for my husband’s shoulder. We took this as an omen and so it was that Cici came to be a part of our lives.
