New addition to the family from the shelter I work at.

Her name is Jackie, and she is a 2 year old sweet tabby that lived there almost her whole life. She loves sleeping on our bed with us and the dog.

1. This is why I had to quit volunteering at the shelter

Too great of risk bringing home too many pets.

But the cat is adorable!

4. Thanks!

I tried to make the picture bigger, but couldn't for some reason. I can't bring home anymore, but it is soooo hard. We get so many returns----it's really sad. I had my sights set on her from the beginning, and told my husband if she not adopted after 2 months of me working there I was bringing her home. My other cat isn't happy, but they ignore each other.

She is so sweet and loving.

2. Congratulations to all of you!

She is adorable, and so very lucky...

I wish you many happy years with your new addition!

5. Thanks Peggy!

It seems everyone wants kittens so I always adopt older cats. My last one from a shelter was 8 when we got her and lived until 19.

3. What a sweetie!

Thank you for giving her a forever home. I am glad she and your dog don't mind each other.

7. She is a sweetie.

Thanks!

6. I could never work there

as much as I would want to.
I would bring them ALL home.

8. We got our cat from a foster home.

She was around 2, just wandering the streets. Black cat. Now her highness grudgingly and grumpily allows my husband to come to bed because she thinks that side of the king sized mattress is 'hers'

She also is one of those cats with a 'vocabulary' it's fun to listen to her looking out the window at birds.

We named her Kiki--probably out of a lack of imagination

13. I had to laugh... our dog, Sally, was 2 when we adopted her,

now she's 12.
Every night, if the air is cool, whoever goes to bed first shares the bed with occupant #2, Sally. She jumps up and settles her 52 lb. frame on the bed. Then occupant #3 climbs onto the bed, or what's left of it. She used to bark, but now she usually shifts down to the foot of the bed.

Speaking of vocabulary, this cat is speaking a foreign language!-

15. Oh that's funny

So like a cat

[GoCubsGo]

20. I have one of those black Queens of the House, too.

She'll spread herself right across the middle of my queen-size bed, up next to the pillow. I'll wake up to find myself relegated to about two feet of bed space. Sometimes, she'll lie in between the two pillows, and I'll wake up to a face full of fur. When I move her, she gets whiny and cranky. I'm lucky she lets me put up with that.

9. Thank you for a big heart!

I said no more dogs......5 dogs later. Don't know what I'd do without ALL of them.

10. My Sampson...

is a Katrina cat. He has to be the most loving cat I have ever had. If he could do a Vulcan Mind Meld, he would!

I think he is just a happy and grateful cat.

11. yeah you!!!

Thank you for giving Jackie a home. SHe's adorable!

[Arugula Latte]

12. Oh, she is darling! Thanks for taking her home!

Poor thing, almost two years there ...

[RiffRandell]

19. I know!

Everytime I went into the free roam cat room she would waddle to me and I would give her tons of love. I had to have her.

[marzipanni]

14. I would have adopted Jackie, too!

My favorite kind & color of cat, a grey or tawny tabby. Our neighbor's cat is a tabby, and we enjoy her visits on our porch and in our back yard. Sally, our Border collie, bothered our last old cat by trying to herd her all the time, otherwise I'd adopt another.

16. Every time I see a tabby, I'm reminded of Erin.

He died three years ago.
I now have Charlotte, but Erin was sure special, too.

[RiffRandell]

18. We have a new cat there that looks just like him.

His name is Ford as he was found in the engine of a truck. He is very skittish and scared (understandably) but is coming around. Poor thing.

17. Sweet.

21. She looks like Peter!

22. Tabbies rock....she is pretty.

I have one tabby.

He came up to my house freezing to death and underweight when he was just about a year old.

I took him in and had him fixed. Now he is 17 pounds and had to have his teeth removed due to medical problem.

He is a sweetheart.

Thank for rescuing your new girl.
