Mitzi, A Special Kitty
A Home, A Bed, A Happy Tail!
Mitzi’s long wait for a new home finally came to a heartwarming conclusion this mid-August of 2006. Today, Mitzi is lounging in her new home in Rhode Island, all happy and content. Our super volunteer team literally went the extra mile to ensure Mitzi’s placement into a loving family’s home, where she will rule the house on her own terms. This will make Mitzi very happy!
The Journey Begins
Dear Mitzi, who has been with the Mountain Road adoption center since late-May spent another day lounging in her cage, wondering where her new home would be. It was a long wait for her, longer than we knew. She was originally in the Annapolis adoption center since the beginning of the year and eventually was transferred to Mountain Road.
The Interested Party
As the months passed, there were many “interested” lookers at Mitzi, but none were serious. That is, until one Sunday evening when a gentleman from Rhode Island who was visiting Maryland showed up. He took a look a Mitzi and remarked at how similar she was to a cat he knew of that recently passed on. It always seems like this happens, a family or person loses their dear friend, only to see their friend’s double in our adoption center. Some take it as a sign to adopt, other’s are just not emotionally ready to have a “replacement.” This Gentleman was teetering on the latter.
Well, the Gentleman thought he better think about this because he had a lot of things to consider. First, he was leaving the next day to return to Rhode Island via air travel, so he wasn’t too sure about the logistics. Lastly, how could he transport her to her new home other than via an airline hop? He needed to be back the next day so renting a car and driving her up wasn’t option. So, with all this in mind, he left the store
For us, we had a feeling that a golden opportunity was slipping through Mitzi’s grasp and we were prepared to resume our hunt in earnest for a new home for Mitzi. Well, the Gentleman walked back in after a short respite, he must have experienced a fit of separation anxiety after departing Mitzi’s company! She was on his mind and he wanted to adopt her!
Taking Mitzi Home
The ending to our story is a nice one. One of our very own We CARE-4-Paws’ volunteers offered up her time and resources to chauffeur Dear Mitzi to Rhode Island to facilitate the adoption. So one late Sunday afternoon Mitzi and our volunteer departed on an eight-hour road trip. Mitzi rested calmly and happily, totally aware something special was in store for her. Later in the day, after a long day of travel, Mitzi was welcomed in to her new home! She immediately made herself at home, lounging, exploring and peering out of a window to take in her new surroundings. We went the extra mile, or many miles for our beautiful friend Mitzi!
