Alfie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Alfie
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Tabby
Home: Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA
 
   Alfie's life is truly a gift. Found as a very tiny kitten by a 92-year-old woman, she wasn't even fed. She was too young to eat on her own and her keeper didn't know how to give her nourishment correctly. Taken by a neighbor to a pet accessories store, Alfie was left in a basket on the floor. When told the store did not sell animals and she would die anyway, the neighbor stated he was leaving her, and walked out.

    Fortuitously, a lady from a pet rescue agency just happened by and quickly whisked Alfie to a vet who literally saved her life. Five months later I met that gorgeous kitty at a Petsmart, which did allow the organization, called Peaceful Pause, to display cats ready for adoption. The folks who raised Alfie and other cats were wonderful, kind, and caring individuals.

    I adopted Alfie and another kitty very shortly thereafter. They are best buddies, catching bugs, observing the birds and squirrels, and tumbling around together.

    Alfie goes crazy over bananas, cantaloupes, oatmeal, and most anything else she can eat. For her, any object is for play. Her favorites are a toy mouse or feather hidden under a small rug, or a string pulled across the floor. Alfie's curiosity and kittenish behavior are endearing. Hopefully both cats will be my friends and companions for many years to come.
