Albert, the Cat of the Day
Name: Albert
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: American Medium hair
Home: Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia, USA
 
   This is Albert. He is a medium haired cat who was found crying by the side of the road as a kitten. One of the teachers at my school rescued and fostered him until she could find him a home. The minute I saw him, he had to be mine. He's a medium grey with white on his face, tummy, paws, and the very tip of his tail!

    After living in a foster home with lots of other cats for company, it soon became clear that Albert needed companionship, so I got him a playmate, Gracie. At first they were leery of one another, but when I saw Albert place his favorite toy, a red feather, on the floor and push it toward Gracie with his paw, I knew they would be fast friends. Our cat family has grown since then, but Albert continues to be (ultimately) loving and accepting of each of his new brothers and sisters. He's very paternal, making sure all cats and ears in our house are sparkling clean.

    Albert is a terrific hunter, depositing all his bird carcasses under the porch... that is, when he doesn't bring them in the house to show to his mom. If I could just teach him to leave the hummingbirds and indigo buntings alone! He also sits patiently, watching for the voles under the bird feeder! Just two or three more, and he will have wiped them out for me.

    Albert is the sweetest, smartest boy in the whole world. He communicates when he wants to be petted by tapping my hand with his paw; he makes offerings of his toys when he wants to make friends; and he watches over everyone in the house to be sure they're clean and happy. Albert is the love of our lives.
