Clover

Clover is one of the more recent arrivals at the sanctuary. She's an old girl with a heart of gold and a what sounds like a lifetime smoker's rasp of a meow.

When Ann picked her up from the routine vet check-up cats get before coming to the sanctuary, she wasn't sure if Clover would need some quiet time to adjust to her new home. Clover responded by climbing right out of her carrier, settling herself down on a comfy spot in her cage, and looking back at her human minder as if to say, "Yes, this will do."

As the sign on the door to her cage says:

Friendly. Love her up.

A reward will be provided in purrs.

Updated September 2011: Sadly, this old girl is no longer with us. We're glad we got to know her and give her a safe place to spend her final months.
