Howdy. My name is Althea. I’m the cat that runs BlackStar. I’m living the good life, here in Tennessee. My life hasn’t always been a bowl of cherries. I spent some time in lock-up back in ’03. On May 14th of that year, Katie walked into the shelter looking for a white cat to adopt. She looked over my papers, which read like a rap sheet. It said “does not get along with others." Did they have to write that? She didn’t flinch though. She paid my bail and off we went.
Oh yeah! I hit the jackpot. Sure I have to work, but it really is a cool job running a jewelry shop, and chatting with people from all around the world. While I have your attention, summer is coming up and lots of folks go out and get pets. Don’t forget to check your local shelters and rescues. Give a pet like me a second chance at happiness.
Kitty kisses,
Althea

Athena you are awesome ... I have 4 cats .. Im a crazy cat lady .. I saved a feral litter of kittens last year from our local home depot where kitty mom abandoned them ... I found good homes for 2 but still cry over the one little boy. I kept two for myself .. Monka-D and Hoo Hoo ... they really like your pretty white coat!! Monka thinks your hot LOL ;)

ReplyDeleteThose animals we rescue all know, I think, just how lucky they are! This is a wonderful story ... so glad Althea got "bailed out!"
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky kitty! My cats Micky and Wally were rescued from the shelter when they were kitties. Micky is 17 years old now! They love their life and even the new rescue pup named Andy that we brought home last year.
