Legend, the Cat of the Day
Name: Legend
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tabby
Home: Richmond, Virginia, USA
 
   Legend is the best cat I could ever wish for. He is sweet, loving, loves to give kisses. He even plays fetch! He runs after his little ball, brings it back in his mouth, and drops it in your lap, ready to do it over again. He is often sitting in my lap, helping me check my e-mail, or watching me play cards. He gets along great with my other cats. All around, he is the sweetest. most loveable kitten ever.

    Legend, his two brothers, his mom, and his dad were all living in a small feral colony in our back yard. Last August, there was a big hurricane in our area, and we decided that the fallen trees and power lines were dangerous, so we humanely trapped them, and brought them inside. My fiancee and I foster cats for a local humane society, and were able to find great homes for mom, dad, and 1 of the brothers. We decided to keep Legend, and his brother Willie, because we had fallen in love with them.

    Legend and Willie were small and bony, but with some good food and loving, they grew in to some healthy boys. Our house is rather busy, with foster cats coming in and out as they get adopted and we take in new fosters. Most of our other cats are frightened or angered by these changes, but not little Legend. He is always coming in to greet the new fosters, giving them kisses, and making them feel at home. He is our one-cat welcoming committee. A few weeks ago, we were fostering a ten-week kitten. Legend became his "uncle," following him around, giving him baths, and protecting him from the other bigger cats. They were inseparable until a week later when the kitten went to his new home.

    Legend is not only a great pet, but a model citizen!
