ALLEY, short for ALGERNON, came to us
from the local Animal Control facility on 7/15/09. A woman was
relocating and surrendered her three cats to Animal Control as she was
unable to take them with her. The Magoo Room was promptly contacted
because the youngest cat was blind and born without eyelids. Despite
our preference not to take young animals, since Alley was right here in
our home community, we took him in. What a rewarding decision! He is
the sweetest, most loving cat we have ever welcomed. Most of his short
life Alley was in a crate to keep him separate from leukemia positive
cats, and he is loving the opportunity to play with the foster kittens
and explore the house. Just touching him sets up the most thunderous
purrs!
Late August 2009 update:
Algernon, who we have begun to call BOO BOO (for some reason it just
suits him), is just a silly little boy who jumps in the air just for
the delight of it. His one eye ruptured and had to be removed, but he
weathered the operation just fine. Boo is adventuresome and is
learning the climbing towers as easily as any sighted cat. He can be
seen sitting inside his favorite toy and loves to watch the balls go
round.
