Liberate Libby

Hi everyone, it’s me, Libby.  This will be my third and final week as the “featured cat" before being replaced by another cat needing a home. 

I thought for sure I was going home yesterday and actually started to get excited.  A nice retired couple came to the shelter looking specifically for a female cat, less than 2 years old with short hair.  Of course that’s me!  They liked me too.  They were petting me and playing laser light, and when they left the room they said I was “a definite contender!"  Unfortunately, they saw another cat that they liked more than me and took her home instead.  I’m very happy for the other cat, but I’m also very sad that I’m still here.  That was the closest I ever came to getting adopted.

I’m a sweet tabby girl.  I think people are not taking me home because I gained a little weight at the shelter.  I’m a “full figured” girl but if I had a house to myself with someone to play with I would get more exercise and wouldn't eat the leftovers from all the other cats, and I'd lose the weight.  I was skinny when I first arrived at the shelter so I know I can get back to my ideal weight.

I’ve been at Standish waiting for my new forever home since June of last year . . . that’s a very long time!  I am ready for my real forever home where I will be safe and loved. I get along with other easy-going cats.  Older children would be fun to play with, and I guess a dog would be okay, too.  What I know is that I want a forever home.

If you are looking for a quiet, easy going cat I’m the girl for you.  Because I’ve been at Standish for so long my adoption fee has been reduced to $50.

I have been waiting a long, long time to have my own home.  Please “Liberate Libby!”

Thanks for reading my story.  Libby
