Happy Tail: Finelly
Romayne Trudo
Frequently, kitties select their new human companions rather than the humans selecting the kitty. This was the case with Maria and Bruce Byers. In late May, they contacted SaddleBrooke Pet Rescue Network for recommendations on where to adopt a rescue kitty. They were directed to the network’s website sbpetrescue.org, which provides a list of our partner organizations with whom we work closely. After scanning the websites, they were encouraged to visit Hermitage Cat Shelter, which is a cage-free sanctuary and a no-kill shelter in Tucson.
During their visit, they identified four or five cats that they thought would be a good fit for them. They decided to go home and sleep on it. The next day, they returned to Hermitage believing they had narrowed down their choice to one or two kitties. Well, Finelly had other ideas for the Byerses, even though he was not on their original list of potential adoptees. When they arrived, Finelly became laser focused on them and followed them from room to room, weaving in and out through their legs, just basically being adorable. He was so charming that the Byerses became smitten with him and decided that he was the one they were going to adopt. He is a handsome, affectionate, three-year-old tuxedo who will bring many years of joy to Maria and Bruce.
Thank you, Maria and Bruce, for adopting a rescue kitty. You have made room for another homeless kitty to be saved.
Marge Boulden with Molly
Happy Tail: Molly
Romayne Trudo
The Memorial Day weekend is filled with ceremonies remembering our fallen heroes and celebrations with our families. We are delighted to announce that Molly (formerly Emmy) has found her new family over this very special holiday weekend. Molly is a 12-year-old poodle mix who was adopted by one of SaddleBrooke Pet Rescue’s dedicated volunteers, Marge Boulden. Marge attended an adoption event held by RoRescue on May 26 and immediately fell in love with this little girl. Molly is in her twilight years, and Marge is committed to make her remaining days happy and safe. Until there are none, save one.
