Just so everybody know the origin of the story. Since I moved in my boyfriend's house I met this cat named Loodie. A very very shy black cat. She lets us pet her and comb her in the bed room but not in the other rooms. The closest she comes to us in the other rooms is just barely enough for her to reach her treat. Whenever we go out of town we have friends come over to take care of Loodie. But Loodie doesn't only need food. We think she needs company, too.
After the fire at the Berkeley East bay Humane Society my husband and I talked about volunteering at the place. They don't need that kind of help yet. All they want now is adoption. After dropping by last week I came out of the place with tear. They are so heart breaking. Some of them the owners just have to give up the pets because they lost their houses. What a shame. You lose your house therefore you can't have your best friend next to you. :( What about the poor animals? They have plenty of love at the shelter but the people at the shelter work so hard and some of them don't even get paid. They are there because they love the animals. I don't love the animals but I love the people's hearts. The only thing I can do to help them is to share the work.
Today (Saturday 12th) we went back to the place and just got a kitty cat. She is a cute and sweet one but that's not the reason why we chose her. We got her because adult animals seem to be harder to get adopted. I would love to get a kitten but what if nobody is interested in the adults? So here we are with Hanna. We have to keep her seperately from Loodie for about two weeks. But after that Loodie will have a kitty cat friend. I hope she likes her new friend.
There are a lot of lives waiting to come with you at the animal shelter. Just give it a try. Go visit them and take them for a walk at least. They need you. And you will love them. I actually have a great story caused by walking a dog to tell all of you. Nobody can miss this story. See you guys.
