Wordless Wednesday-Evelyn Remembers How to Cat

Featured Furry-DJ

This week's featured furry is a very special 4 month old kitten. His name is DJ and friend of mine saved him from the cold.

My friend Robert saw this tiny black kitten hanging around his yard. Being the awesome cat-man that he is, he started feeding the kitten. This wasn't his first rodeo; Robert already had one black cat, plus he had taken in another stray black cat last year. Still, he knew this little guy needed rescuing.

When the weather was about to turn brutally cold and snow was on the way, Robert saved the little black kitten from the harsh weather and brought him into his warm, safe bathroom.

He knew he couldn't stay though. With two cats already, he couldn't keep a third, even one as cute as a button. Not to mention very likely related to the stray he took in last year, now named Duke. Instead, after providing him with a name, DJ (Duke Jr.), and some cuddles, Robert took DJ to Great Plains SPCA.

I've been waiting patiently for little DJ to come off his stray hold and make his way to the adoption center at Great Plains in Merriam. Yesterday was my lucky day!

I went right to his kennel and scooped him up. He is just the sweetest little thing! No squirming, no fussing. Just cuddles.

I think he might be a guy's cat though. When my hubby held him, the purr motor really started!

DJ is so magnificent that my hubby was ready to take him home. Can you believe that I was the one who had to put my foot down? After one last smooch, I wished DJ luck and put him back in his kennel.

I'm sure he'll be adopted in a heartbeat! Wherever he goes, he will make some family complete. If you think that family is yours, go meet him at Great Plains SPCA in Merriam. You'd better hurry!

Featured Furry-Felix

I met the sweetest four-year-old house panther at Great Plains SPCA last night. His name is Felix and he's awesome.

Felix is almost all black, save for a tiny white patch on his chest, with gorgeous green eyes. His looks aren't what makes him so special though. He has a great personality! He's very lovable. As I was trying to get a picture of him, he just wouldn't hold still. He kept rubbing his face on mine!

I took the time to clip his nails and run the Furminator over him a few times. He was so patient! He didn't fight me at all while I was giving him his pedicure.

We played a little bit with the trackball toy. Although he wasn't overly playful, he was interested.

Another thing I loved about him was his goofy expressions. He is just so adorable!

Felix is rooming with three other kitties right now, so we know he gets along with other cats. He is a purr machine and has tons of love to give. He's going to make a great addition to a lucky family!

Featured Furry-Sabrina

I met a sweet little housepanther at Great Plains SPCA in Merriam yesterday. She's on the petite side and has a sprinkling of white hairs on her body with a white patch on her chest. Her name is Sabrina.

Sabrina is 4 years old and came in to Great Plains as a stray. She came right up to me when I sat on the floor and began to purr as soon as I began petting her.

She was immediately comfortable with me in the room and didn't show even the smallest hint of shyness. Sabrina even let me pick her up so we could take a selfie!

Here's Sabrina enjoying some love:



Isn't she the sweetest thing? If you're interested in meeting Sabrina, you can visit her at Great Plains SPCA located at 5424 Antioch Dr., Merriam, Kansas.
