Pet of the Week- Joey

Joey

 

My name is Joey. I think I am about five-years-old.  I have a handsome white-and-tiger coat.  I found myself homeless as an adolescent, I lived on the harsh streets in Boston alone.  Along the way, I met some wonderful friends who were part of a feeding program.  These human friends would come out each night and feed the cats who lived on the streets.  I was so grateful for the kindness they showed me.   One of my favorite’s was Ms. Patty – she would feed the feral cats who were not friendly to me at all.  Ms. Patty realized at one time I must have been a house cat.   I worried about Ms. Patty traveling alone at night and I would keep her company and safe along her route.   We would go the library and three other stops before going right to Ms. Patty’s own front door.   The kind ladies thought it would be best if I were placed in a shelter where I could find a loving family.   I am now at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at the Christopher Cutler Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane, Gloucester.   Check out their site at www.CapeAnnAnimalAid.com

The shelter here is beautiful – and so are the staff and volunteers who treat me like Ms. Patty did!

We had to be given up after seven years as out owner’s small child is allergic to cats.   So, we are looking for another happy home and hoping that we can be adopted together as we have never been apart.  We are not allergic to people, we love them.   If you have the space in your home and heart to adopt us both, we would be jumping with you and we will have lots of fun and you will always have someone to talk to and you will always have a happy heart.
