Yesterday, while I was recuperating from my accident at home, I got a phone call from the Panhandle Humane Society. The lady said they had a cat that they thought would be great for us and asked if we would be interested in adopting her. I told her that we now had two cats and that having a third would be a little too much for us.

After the conversation ended, I started think about this kitty at the Humane Society. During the phone call, I was told that she was a Blue Point Siamese between 2 and 5 years old. This cat has no hind paws and when she came to the Humane Society she had burns and sores on her backside. After thinking about it, I felt pretty bad for the kitty so, when Irene came home from the junior high, I told her about the kitty and we drove over to the Humane Society to see the cat.

She is a very friendly cat considering that she has been through a lot and we have decided that, when she has healed up a little, we will take her home. She has been named Cinders by the Humane Society although we may change her name when we take her home.

Until we can take her home, we plan on visiting her a few times every week to spend time with her and see how she is doing. Judging by her injuries, it may be awhile before we can take her home. I do find it shocking that anyone could treat an animal they way Cinders has been treated. At least she is now on the road to recover and we can giver her a good home.
