Milly, the Cat of the Day
Name: Milly
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair Tabby
Home: Los Angeles, California, USA
 
   Milly was found when she was only nine months old in a department store parking lot. I found Milly meowing for help under cars as they sped through the indoor parking structure. She was very scared. She came to me, but would run away when I tried to catch her. I called my husband from work to help me catch her and as I waited for him shielded her from cars. My husband came and helped me catch her and put her in our car. Milly was so tired she slept all the way home.

    Our first night with Milly was so special... she was very scared, but sweet and curious and very loving and smart. Our apartment building did not allow us to keep pets so the next day we took Milly to the local animal shelter. My husband and I cried the whole day after we gave her up. We fell in love with her and wanted to adopt her. The shelter kept her for a week before allowing adoption, this gave her potential owners time to reclaim her. But no one reclaimed her. In the one week we found a new apartment, moved in and adopted Milly!

    Milly is now the happiest and most spoiled cat ever. She has more toys than most children and loves to play fetch with her toy mice. She also puts her paw out for a shake for treats. Milly hates being picked up or held, but loves being in the same room as us. She has brought us much joy, fun and converted me, a dog lover, to a total cat worshipper!
