Gabriel

Well hello there .... my name is Gabriel and I would like to know where I can file a feline discrimination complaint. Anyone here at the Yarmouth SPCA will be quick to tell you what a snugglebug I am .... in fact I distinctly heard someone joking that they didn't know that teddy bears could purr.
Yet some of you humans have the oddest idea that somehow we black kitty cats will bring you bad luck.
Did you know that in olden days, fishermen's wives believed that having a black cat in the house would ensure that their husbands would always come home safe from the sea?
Did you know that many black cats are at least part Burmese .... which means that we make very loyal and affectionate companions.
As an adult, I can promise that I won't wake you up in the middle of the night by tackling your feet when you roll over. Nor will I be kicking up a fuss because I'm missing my Mommy.
No sir .... I like a good nights sleep just as much as you do. I already know what the litter box is for and how to navigate through it without getting my feet dirty. I understand that the roll by your 'throne' is not a red carpet for me to roll out.
Even better, I'm already as big and as handsome as I'm going to get .... so it should be easy for you to tell if we will be kindred spirits.
Best of all, I can promise you that I would have more love than anyone could possibly imagine for someone smart enough to make their own luck by opening their home and their heart to a sweet and cuddly fellow like me.

Mrs March

Well hello there, my name is Mrs. March and like many other good cats, I have been hoping for a new home long after my babies were born and adopted into great homes of their own. Don't get me wrong because as a mother I am very happy they have been well situated, but I think that I shall give the kind folks here at CAPS a hand and offer you six good reasons to come up here to The Cat Cottages at CAPS and meet me..... one for every one of the kittens that I had
#6 The kittens that I arrived here with will be the only ones ever for me because i have been spayed
#5 I am well socialized with the other cats here at the cottage and would fit in very well in a home with other cats
#4 I'm as big and beautiful as I'm going to get, so it should be easy to tell if we will be kindred spirits
#3 I'm nobody's baby and I like a good nights sleep as much as you do
#2 I'm all grown up and know better than to bat at the strings on your pyjamas, and of course
#1 I am a cat ... which means that I am wise enough to understand the value of second chances. I would have more love than anyone could possibly imagine for someone who would open their home and their heart to a sweet and gentle lady like myself.
