| 1. | February Pet of the Month  "Snickers" lost her home due to a foreclosure. She was an indoor cat for 3 years, then her family just left her behind. Luckily a neighbor saw how scared Snickers was and took her in. Her new family says she's been a sweet cat and is slowly getting over her ordeal. |

| 2. | January Pet of the Month Pearl was quite a scared kitty when she found herself in a shelter and pregnant. Luckily a volunteer agreed to foster her while she gave birth. All her babies got adopted but since Pearl was so skiddish, she needed a very special home who would understand her. And she found one with a friend of the volunteer who instantly loved Pearl's unusual one green eye and one blue eye! Now Pearl lives in luxury. Way to go, Pearl! |

| 3. | December 2009 Denny crawled into the arms (and heart) of his mom at a Texas animal shelter. It was his last day, his time ran out. He was a little "pudgy" so no one was interested. With his quiet meow, he let her hold him like a baby and purrred away. She knew he was the one she'd been looking for. Denny turned out to be the most loving cat and has great manners. We think she made a great choice! |

| 5. | October Pet of the Month  Rex was found dodging cars on a highway in California. A woman saw he would eventually get hit & spent 2 hours trying to get him to safety. His "family" was found, but they abandoned him. The woman, now his new mom says Rex turned out to be the best companion ever and even chased away a burglar once. We think Rex is a hero! |

| 6. | September "Benji" Benji had a family for 5 years but they kept him in a small crate 100% of the time. A woman discovered this horror, and offered to help find Benji a new home since they really didn't want him. Benji won the hearts of a very nice couple who had another small dog. They just adore him and say he is a perfect dog who has long forgotten his imprisoned past. Benji is free forever! |

Who wouldn't fall for Lily - just look at that face! |

| 9. | Rufus - June 2009 Rufus spends much of his time making sure his mom, Brenda, has unconditional love & companionship every day. Living at the lake, he loves to explore the shoreline and silently watches the ducks, wondering why they like to "sit on the water." When the squirrel cries and yell at him from tree tops, Rufus contemplates just how he can get up that darn tree?! ( we're sure he only wants to talk to the squirrel) ! The neighbors love Rufus and call out "Look! It's the King and his servant!" |

Luckily the person feeding the colony put him on Petfinder, where he found a new mom. She says although Cappi has severe arthritis, he doesn't complain, & is a perfect cat who is actually more like a dog. He'll come when he's called, go to his bed, get down, eat when he's told, & follows his new mom all round the house until he can curl up at her feet. He's 18 now & going strong! |

Her mom says she's one in ten million and is the love of her life! |
