Arrival Story:
In August 2006 I moved from a small 1-bedroom apartment to a larger townhome. By the end of the month I had settled in and decided it was time to adopt a pair of cats. I visited PetSmart because I heard The Almost Home Foundation had adoption drives on Saturdays. I knew I wanted a cat, not a kitten. Cats don't need to be trained, their personalities have developed, and they are more relaxed. Most importantly I wanted to give a cat a second chance to have a home. I arrived when people were setting up. Down at the far end I saw this one big cat alone in a cage that was almost too small for him. His name was Sugar and he reminded me of a cat I had while growing up. His tag said that he liked to hang out with the guys, which suited me perfectly. His foster parents told me he was abandoned in February in his cat carrier outside the flower shop of an Almost Home volunteer. He has been waiting for his new home for over six months and his frustration was showing. They assured me he would be a different cat when I got home. I felt sorry for the poor guy and my intuition told me we'd get along great. I renamed him Sarge at the suggestion of my mother. He turned out to be a very sweet and loving cat who greets me when I come home from and purrs at a moment's notice.
Bio:
Hello! I am Sarge. I can't say much about my original human family except for that they had me declawed and could no longer keep me. But they care about me enough to make sure I would eventually find a new home instead of leaving my fate to the pound. Daddy thinks my original people were old and had a lot of things. That's why they declawed me. And the either passed on or had to move to an assisted living home and couldn't keep me. I'd like to think they'd be happy to know what finally happened to me.
Anyway my foster parents took great care of me until I found my new Daddy. I had lots of other kitty friends, but every seven days I had to spend a few hours in a little cage and had strange people poke at me. I kept hoping one would take me home, but no one did for months. Then my Daddy came here and I knew I would finally get a new home. My first day there, while my new step-sister was hiding in the basement closet, I was taking a nap on the bed. After a few days I was making biscuits on his arm.
Daddy says I'm too curious for my own good. I want to go outside and sniff around but without claws I can't defend myself or hunt. Sometimes I sneak outside when the front door is open. I just sniff the bushes, eat grass, and scratch my back on the sidewalk so Daddy doesn't mind too much and will let me have a minute before scooping me up and putting me back inside. The garage is a different story though. When I get to go in there I like to sleep under Daddy's car's engine and walk on the roof. I can be lured back inside with a kitty treat. I love my kitty treats!

Wow! This cute kitty named Delilah wants me to be her Valentine! Sure! And guess what, she's still available. Her family had to give her up through no fault of their own and now she's a foster who needs a furever home. She lives in NYC on the island so if anycat has a human who knows a human who needs a special kitty, let her know! Spread the word and help give my Valentine the best present ever!

Well I did it, hit the old double digits, the big one-zero. Sometimes Dad wondered if I'd make it. But I'm eating well and getting better every day. Friskies changed their formula to my favorite flavor of their canned food and now I won't eat it. Dad's been getting me different kinds and I found a few that I like. I prefer seafood to poultry or beef which is the opposite of my Dad. The only seafood he eats are tuna and salmon either as smoked, steaks, or sushi and he won't let me have any!
I want to give a big thanks to those who sent rosettes; Smiley Cassanova, Felix, Sammie, Kiki, Ember, littleboy and his family. It's really sweet I had so many people think of me on my birthday. I didn't get much in terms of hugs or treats that day. Dad had a job interview after work. Before anyone wishes him good luck, he's not so sure he likes the company. Remember during an interview you're checking them out as much as vice versa. It's a small company and he's had bad experiences with small companies before. This one probably has those same qualities that led to his dissatisfaction before. Since he is working now, he can be a little choosy and find a job that's right for him.
Don't worry though, I'm getting lots of holding time today and extra treats. Thanks again to all!

Well the vet found sugar in my urine so I'm back on insulin. Just the token amount of one unit once a day. The good news is that I'm loving all the different foods Daddy bought me. I'm eating up most of them and haven't gotten sick yet. (What do you want to bet I'm going to throw up some food soon?) Daddy thinks I like fish since that appears to be a favorite. I just like some variety, that's all. Otherwise I'm in very good health, all other readings are normal and I just got done wrestling with sis.
I have things pretty good here. :)
