Pearl
2011 Pearl was adopted as a young kitten by a family. They kept her for 5 years. The wife got a promotion in a new city and choose to move into an apartment that would not allow the cat. They dropped her off at animal control, a high kill animal control. What saved Pearl is that she is soooo friendly. The director of animal control said she just could not kill this cat, she was going to find a place that would accept her. This amazing director drove 5 hours to meet our transporter to send her to us. We said we would take her. When animal control took her to the vet for her shots they also discovered she is FIV+ . Blind & FIV+, Talk about becoming a very unadoptable cat in the shelter world. That's ok, we would still take her, she can live in our FIV room. She loves humans, hasn't decided how she feels about other cats. She is still settling in. Update: she still is not overly fond of the other cats, but she is doing ok. 2018 Update: She was diagnosed with hyperthyroid. We had her treated with iodine therapy and she is now doing very well.

7/11/2021 RIP This is a really unexpected letter to be writing today. The staff was in the lobby with Pearl walking around when all of a sudden they found her head pressing against the wall drooling.  Alarmed, they got me from the office.  Something bad was going on.  I called my vet (who is currently not offering emergency services due to being severely short-staffed) and asked if I could bring her to the clinic.  She said to bring her.  I rushed her into the car and started driving.  She had 2 seizures before we arrived and had a 3rd one as soon as I arrived.  Pearl was 16 years old and had been with us for 10 years.  She was FIV+ and had had many health issues over the years.  The vet and I agreed the correct decision for her was to let her go.   She went over the rainbow bridge in my arms. She was a very sweet old girl, who loved to sit in your lap and be loved on. She would purr like crazy.  She was so grateful for the big plush fuzzy beds that donors sent, those were her favorite, she would snuggle down in them.  She liked catnip toys.  She will be missed.
