May

May came the sanctuary for the same reason Moe did: due to there simply not being enough room at the No. 5 Rd. shelter to comfortably house all the cats that were being brought in.


I first met May last summer, when she quickly caught my attention by being such a beautiful girl. Even then she was a sweetheart, comfortable visiting with me and posing for pictures.

May is adoptable and will be returning to 5 Rd. soon for another chance at meeting people who'd love to give her a forever home.

Moe


Moe was one of a number of cats who started off at the No. 5 Rd. shelter but was sent to the sanctuary largely due to lack of space. These cats had been there a while and were either not as obviously friendly or simply kept getting passed over for no special reason when people came in to look for a cat to adopt.

A striking grey shorthair, Moe saw me visiting with another cat in his enclosure and seemed to feel it quite important to introduce himself to me. After ejecting his rival from his perch and captured my attention, Moe proceeded to shamelessly mug for the camera to make sure he kept it.


He was happy to be stroked as well, but mostly it was just the general attention that he wanted from me. Sometimes cats are all about the cuddles and kisses, but sometimes they really just seem to crave a little human interaction.
