My Nonprofit Reviews

I found myself thinking about an addition to the family, to keep the construction site rescue kitten entertained. My 12 year old female tabby wasn’t the slightest bit interested in the antics or energy of a young kitten. So the search for a new family member began.

I meet the All Fur Love folks at a local cat show, explained my situation and got some online contact information. After giving an addition to the family one more final thought, filling out & submitting an application and a little more discussion of my needs it was decided to look at males a few years old.

Then I was informed I’d be contacted for a ‘home inspection’! I was terrified! What if my house was too small for three cats? What if for some reason, one that loves her cats so much could be denied a new ‘baby’! It was quite a relief when the inspector explained it was for health and safety reasons and that I had passed.

Soon after I was introduced to ‘Tony the Tiger’ aka ‘The Gentle Giant’. He was perfect. A big 3 year old male tabby that was laid back enough to put up with the ‘baby’s’ endless energy, yet still playful enough to keep up with her most of the time.

I was assured if bringing a third cat into the home didn’t work out with the crabby 12 year old, they could take Tony back into foster or if anything ever happened and I could no longer care for him they would find him a new purrfect furrever home.

I don’t think anyone really knows Tony’s story. A women had been feeding him in her back yard for a year until her husband said it was time to contact the County Animal Control to pick him up. Thank goodness she contact All Fur Love instead. He’s a good boy, my thought is he was probably abandoned in a foreclosure near by.

Tony came to us clean, handsome, altered, micro chipped and healthy on May 2, 2011. He even smelled good! Other than some initial resistance from the 12 year old female, Tony has fit into the family perfectly. I can’t imagine our home without him and will be furrever thankful to All Fur Love for bringing us all together.
