Salty, the Cat of the Day
Name: Salty
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Massachusetts, USA
 
   Salty was adopted from a shelter in Boston when he was only four weeks old. He was found in an abandoned building during one of the worst snow storms Boston has seen. He only weighed ten ounces when we got him, and needless to say, he was a very sick kitty. Because he was so young, Salty didn't really walk or run - he hopped! That's how he got his name - Saltamontito (which means "little grasshopper" in Spanish). For short, we call him Salty. Salty is special to me because he is a survivor. He had a rough beginning, but you would never know it to look at him now. I think the most distinctive thing about Salty is the stripe on his nose. He looks like a wild one, and he certainly is! But he provides us with so much love.
