Sinclair, the Cat of the Day
Name: Sinclair
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Torrington, Connecticut, USA
 
   Sinclair's first owner kept him from a litter of kittens only because of his striking eyes. The man, an apartment owner, then got tired of him and gave him to the next tenant, saying "the cat comes with the apartment." The new owner loved this beautiful, deeply affectionate cat, but had to give him and the apartment up to enter the hospital. Before we adopted him, Sinclair had lived alone for weeks in an empty apartment, having one visitor a day who would come to feed him. His caretaker was a lovely woman who could not adopt him herself. She was working desperately to find him a home, but the landlord, his former owner, had set a strict eviction deadline. Finally, at the end of her rope, I overheard her saying that she was simply going to have to let him out into the city to fend for himself. That was the last straw for me.

    Sinclair is no longer lonely, or in any kind of need! Two of our three girl cats are now his best friends, and our three ferrets have accepted "the big white ferret who meows." He has a ridiculously easy life, and he deserves it, in return for the love, and amusement, he gives us.
