Miss Kitty


15 year old Miss Kitty was brought to the sanctuary at the end of September.

For many years, this pretty calico stray had been fed by people living in a west Richmond home. Now they are moving, so Miss Kitty has come to live with us.

She's settled in quite quickly, nestled comfortably on some nice, soft bedding in our seniors section. She seems to understand that's among friends and can be quickly set to purring and head rubbing with little more encouragement than a smile and a gentle hand.


Updated December 2, 2011:  Not long ago Ann, volunteer and longtime Miss Kitty fan, was finally able to give this sweet old girl the gift of a home to spend her remaining days in. The arrangement was a delight to both. Sadly, the days Miss Kitty had remaining to her turned out to be few in number, so her stay with Ann was a much shorter one than hoped.

    For a cat that was never touched, she sure is most insistent on getting the loving!

    Aww, she sounds like a dream. Nothing like any cat I know living on my porch during the day and in my neighbour's house in the evenings.

    I'm not buying that never been touched story and I don't care either way.
    She's home now and we love her.
