This was a home where she was meant to be. When I got there with a load of potential adoptees, she crawled into this woman’s lap, settled down in her arms and just melted. Catherine (the woman interested in a “kitten”) began to cry and told me that she couldn’t just ignore Alaska’s need for her. They were meant for each other and Alaska is now living in a palatial home and she will be so cherished and loved. I can just see the two of them at the baby grand. Alaska sitting on the top and Catherine playing her Irish lullabies! It was magical!

We received four hits of interest on her but this is the home where she needs to be. I was smiling when I left.

So- so far this year, we have received into our sanctuary 53 cats. We have adopted out 26 and 10 went over the Bridge.  The roughest of the outward bound was losing Fiona- We miss her still and the last euthanasia of that found Himalayan. I still wish that had gone a completely different direction. It’s been an emotional year of both lows and highs but leaving Alaska asleep in Catherine’s arms- well that’s the icing on this year’s cake!
