I recently volunteered to photograph pets for a local animal shelter.
As usual the stories inside were heartbreaking. The staff of course do their best but a shelter is still a shelter.
After talking myself out of adding to the zoo I have at home I met this guy. He's old, 19. His coat feels just like my Ragdolls'. He's big, fluffy, and beautiful. And in desperate need of a quiet home to let him live out the life he has left.
The old furkids always get to me. I will never in my life understand how you can have a pet so long then just throw it away. While I will not get into my feelings on the various excuses that people come up with to justify the expulsion of a family member I have to say keep this boy in mind. If you know anyone who could offer him a 'retirement' home please please contact the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko county Indiana.
