I do have one beef with Indy Humane Society that I wanted to mention. They are FAR from upfront on their animal descriptions. 3 of the 5 cats we flagged had problems not disclosed online. Online descriptions were happy go lucky descriptions like "Great cat, laid back." (Invisible asterisk) Added to the end of the description on the printout there: "has problems with stairs" or "missing teeth, wet food only", or "needs quiet home, no small children" etc.
I was a bit angry actually. They were like used car salesmen in that regard.
Hancock PAWS rocks though. Everybody was as described except for two guys. Everybody matched their descriptions and there were no "gotchas" when we arrived.
How funny you mentioned PAWS. I used to do a lot of volunteer work with them years ago before I had kids. I even won their Volunteer of the year award. Nancy who runs PAWS is one the nicest person I know. She really loves those animals. -Jason
I agree. If they werent so far away I'd volunteer as well.
But its closer than my last rescue. Our late boxer Tessa Larue came from Toledo. The volunteer met us south of Ft Wayne. ("halfway") Her first words were "Hello! Now dont worry, If you dont like her, you dont have to take her." PFFFFF! She knew what she was doing... No way in hell we werent leaving with that sweetie.
Our new cat bears a striking resemblance to toonces the driving cat from snl. But she is inherently evil so I call her tooncifer.
There is absolutely no reason to name a cat. They don't come to you when you call them, so why bother.
Naming a cat makes about as much sense as naming a house plant ... a gold fish ... or a deaf kid.
At the end of the day, you have to throw something at them to get their attention.

Michael Schumouser or Juan Pablo Monkitten. We have Danica Catrick right now.

LOL, you win the thread!
I had a cat (well, he had me...) that would sprint across the room and leap into my lap when I called him. I adored that critter
