Olympia, the Cat of the Day
Name: Olympia
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Longhair
Home: Austin, Texas, USA
 
   On a beautiful spring day one May, I was having a burger at a local eatery when I became aware that a very thin, ragged-looking cat was staring at me through the window. I went outside to pet her, and she led me to five newborn kittens in a storm drain beneath the building. I went home and got my cat carrier and a box, and ended up taking mother and kittens home. Today, Olympia is the most beautiful, happy kitty one could imagine, and four of her offspring are right here with her (the fifth lives with a friend). Olympia's nickname is French Fry because she apparently begged for fries at the picnic tables outside the hamburger stand where I found her.

    Olympia is very special to me not only because she is so beautiful and sweet, but also because she has come such a long way from being homeless to being so comfortable and well-adjusted in her permanent home. She is now living the good life!
