Phoebe's Story

As our family walked into the Humane Society about 3 years ago, we didn't know what to expect. Thinking about the kitten we were going to adopt had excitement running through our family! One by one we met and played with the candidates. When it seemed like we had gone over every kitten, we still couldn't make up our minds. As I was standing by the cages, something caught my eye. A hairy little paw reaching through to touch me. As I approached the cage I realized this was no mere kitten and looks were NOT on her side. We didn't know what to expect as we lifted out the very hairy and VERY matted cat. She had been declawed and wasn't able to groom her thick coat. But looks and age were not on our mind. Fate had brought this no-named cat to our family. She just had to let us know that it was her whom we were looking for.

Phoebe proves that looks and age aren't everything. Now she is our family's greatest treasure.. We took her home that day, and with a lot of TLC and the home she needed, we transformed her into the most beautiful cat. We love Phoebe with all our hearts and don't know what we would do without her. Thank you HSU!!!
