Petey Needs a Home

Am putting a temporary post up here, on Newt’s blog, and emailing to my Reiki students.  I typically don’t do this, but this is stuck in my heart right now, and I feel compelled to do this.

If you know of anyone looking for a cat, I met a shelter cat this week during an unrelated visit to the Washington Animal Rescue League (www.warl.org) , and can’t stop thinking about him.  His name is Petey, and while I know we can’t adopt him, I can’t stop thinking about him.  So I’m sending out emails, blog posts, etc. to everyone I know who may know someone who knows someone who is looking for a cool cat.

Saw him again today.  He’s an orange tabby, 1 yr old, a few black smoodges, white paws.  Looked like copper eyes to me.  We had a copper-eyed orange tabby before, so I’m not immediately thinking he’s a shunt baby.  He leapt into my arms as I was leaving, demanding to be held and snuggled, and LICKED MY CHIN. Repeatedly.  I almost cried – he reminded me so much of the two orange tabbies we’d loved before, and the only cat before him who has ever licked my face is Newt.  And then, as someone else was holding him and I walked past the door to leave, his eyes met mine and he yowled.  Oh geesh. Cunning little beast, to zing his way into my heart like that LOL.

So anyway, I’m not affiliated with WARL, I know lots of wonderful cats who also need homes, but am sending this out in hopes for the greatest good for Petey.  (He was very receptive to Reiki.)
