Arrival Story: I had been thinking about adopting another kitty for quite awhile. I thought that Sally would enjoy having a kitty sister to play with and I felt like I was ready to bring another baby home : )
One day (1/18/02) after doing some work in central Phoenix I realized that I was only about a mile from the Phoenix Humane Society where I had adopted Sophie. I decided I would just stop by and take a peek at their kitties. I had been thinking about adopting a gray male kitty but you know how that goes! I saw Lucy (appx. 3 months old) and she saw me. She just kept talking to me. Making eye contact with me and chattering at me! She also kept reaching through the cage towards me with her paw. I had to bring her home.
Bio: Lucy has severe food and environmental allergies and immune system problems. She frequently has ear infections, skin lesions, and tummy problems. Over the past 4 years, she has spent months in an e-collar due to skin problems. Poor kitty!
She is allergic to all dry cat food and most wet foods, too. She is also allergic to nearly all kitty treats. She is currently on a medication called Atopica/Cyclosporine to suppress her immune system and is having positive results.
Lives Remaining: 7 of 9

Today the lovely *Hazel Lucy* wrote about two special kitties in need of forever homes. Both kitties are tugging on my heart strings!
*Pierre*, a gorgeous flame-point Himalayan, was turned into the rescue because his family had a baby (grumbles about that). The rescue realized poor Pierre was sick with untreated diabetes. They have provided care and he is doing much better (see HL's diary about his diabetes) but his past health concerns seem to be scaring potential adopters away.
According to a poster in the *Rescue Forums* , Pierre has been in the shelter for 2 YEARS waiting for a loving family. That is too long! Check out his *Petfinder Page*: the video of him playing is so adorable. He's in the Annapolis area; are there any Catsters that can help this little guy?
*Joy* is an 11 year old beauty (love the nose smudge!) whose loving parent passed away. Sadly, Joy is now at the same rescue as Pierre in Annapolis, MD, hoping for a second chance at a forever family.
I know there are so many kitties in need of loving forever homes. Purrs that Pierre and Joy find their special homes soon.
My dear friend *Chloe* is in need of purrs. She is very ill and today it was determined that she is in complete renal failure. Her loving mother is heartbroken and devastated. Please join me in purring for her. We love you Chloe!
Another dear friend, *Sweets*, is also in need of purrs. Tomorrow she will be hospitalized for surgery to remove large bladder stones. Please join me in purring for Sweets, too.
I love you both (and your mommies and families) and we are all purring for you! And believe me, these little boys can PURR!
Thanks to Catster's email, a party hat from Samoa, and a cupcake from Mercy, I realized that today is my estimated birthday! Samoa and Mercy sure have the inside scoop, even my mommy forgot that she had designated November 1st as my birthday!
I'm 8 today! I expect lots of loving and special, yummy foods today to celebrate. I expect the boys to leave me alone unless I feel like playing; in that case, they MUST play with me exactly how I want them to! Hmmm, what else do I want for my birthday? Maybe a catnip party!
Oh, and for my birthday wish, world peace for all creatures, big and small, furry and non-furry!
