Name: Cassie

Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Buckeye, Arizona, USA
 
   My Cat, Cassie, is special because she snuck into my life when I needed her most, but didn't know it. When my previous cat passed away, I swore I would never love another cat. But my friend, knowing how much of a cat lover I am, told me about a gray kitty that some ladies she knew had rescued. She was about a year old, already spayed, declawed in the front and an ultimate lap cat. At first I said no, as I was trying to stick to my conviction. However, I couldn't get a nice gray kitty out of my mind, so I called my friend after a couple of days said yes. I took her home and have never regretted it.

    Cassie is an extremely vocal cat, earning her such nicknames as "the mouth" and "squeaky". The first time my current boyfriend came over to my house, Cassie walked into the living room, calmly climbed into his lap and curled up, just like she was invited. He had never been much of a cat lover, but the two of them bonded instantly. I knew if they liked each other that much, everything would be fine. We have all been together for almost three years. Cassie was recently diagnosed with hyper-thyroidism and has to be on medication for the rest of her life. We hope this treatment will keep her healthy and happy, and with us for a very long time.
