There's no escaping it, cats are wonderful.
Which makes it hard to believe how people can give up their pets after years of them being part of the family. I would give up everything before I gave my two cats away.
Which brings us to Snickers. I found Snickers at the Honor Sanctuary Animal Rescue facility in Sarasota. The Sanctuary does noble work looking after abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs, doing as much as possible to make our town a "No Homeless Pet Community".
Walking into the Sanctuary is a slice of heaven for a cat person like me. This morning when I was there, over seventy cats were in residence. But this isn't a cage-and-feed kind of place. The cats are free to walk about, there's furniture (cat and human) on which they can lounge, and visitors are encouraged to be affectionate. With the animals, not each other.
And so I was introduced to Snickers. Snickers is an altered long-haired female around four years old. Her story is that she didn't fit her owners' life any more, and she's looking for a home. The pictures tell you everything you need to know.
If you live anywhere between Bradenton and Venice (in Florida) and are looking for a sweet pet, please visit the Sanctuary, and consider Snickers. She will only be an adornment to your home, elegant beauty that she is.
And if you have enough pets already, consider doing the entire household a favor by going green with your cleaning products.

A lovely, sweet little lady, that Snickers.
Isn't that sadness in her face?
I hope that someone in your area takes her home soon and puts a smile back where it belongs.
I think it might be sadness, Doc, sadness at me thinking I'd be able to take close-up photos of Snickers. She thinks I'm not worthy even of her dismissal...which might be right!
No, she was actually quite unafraid of the camera, itself a little unusual.
I sure hope she finds a home to make her happy, too.
