My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Spirit's story, told by his foster mom...

Spirit lived next door to me until his family moved out in the fall of 2011 and left him behind. His name at that time was Marshmallow. When I came home from work late at night and I saw him outside I would go over and pet him. He would always roll over for a belly rub! I always made sure someone would let him in the house before going to sleep myself. When the family moved out I was told that Spirit had not come home for days and they were leaving him behind. Needless to say Spirit spent the winter outside. When two feeders in my neighborhood reported seeing a white cat with a bloody ear I knew that had to be Spirit. I was finally able to trap him in March. At that point he was a matted mess. He was found to be full of ticks as was taken to a groomer for a lion cut. He was also so petrified of everything and everyone I could not even go near him. After months of a couple people working with him, Spirit is back to his lovable self, albeit a bit jumpy. He will sleep on the bed with me, gets along with other cats and loves to play. He is a DLH white cat with huge feet, one blue and one green eye and a very big heart. Ariel has really taken to him and I find them playing and spending their naps together quite often. I know there is a person out there that can give Sprit his forever home and have the patience to help him get back to the indoor leisure life he deserves. He is still very jumpy with loud noises and quick movements and his coat is still growing in.
