Tennessee Tux is one "hunk" of a kitty
cat. We thought for sure he would be the easiest placement going. Then his
first vet visit detected a loud heart murmur. An ultrasound further
confirmed a thickened and deformed heart muscle. We feared Tennessee would
never leave the shelter, but sometimes we just get lucky. A kind, gentle
young lady by the name of Laura Phaneuf of Southboro, MA, came along and
gave our handsome boy the home he deserved.
Laura writes, "He tends to help me with
my studies and whatnot late at night...who knew that a cat would like
reading graduate level textbooks as much as I do?
"Let's just say that he adjusted quite
quickly. The minute we brought him home he was poking around and finding all
the good spots to cuddle. It was incredible! He was literally following us
all around the house that day as if it were home all along. He is always in
someone's lap and he is a big fan of sunbathing in the bay window with his
blanket. (I think the birds are just happy on the other side of that
window!.)
"So yes, Tux is doing amazingly...he is
spoiled, to say the least. I think Tux found a home with us, and we found
the perfect new member of our family.
"I have been spreading the word to
everyone about NEADY Cats - so hopefully some more lovelies will find
homes."
This is one lucky kitty cat. Thank you,
Laura, for giving Tennessee his "forever" home.
Update January 2005
Tux is doing wonderfully! He is currently cozied
up by the firesplace. Here is a recent picture with Tux having some
enjoyable moments with an empty box.
Update December 2009 I'm writing to
update you on Tennessee Tux, our beloved cat that I adopted
from you in 2004. I'm sad to report that Tennessee passed
away this morning after a wonderful life with us. "Tux"
holds a special place in our hearts- from keeping me company
while in school, to being the first cat that my daughter
came to know as an infant this past year. We'll miss Tux
terribly, but have no doubt that his last 5 years were
filled with joy and love. "
Thank you for bringing Tux into
our lives!

It takes a lot of people pulling together to make success stories like Tennessee's a reality. If our cats are never
offered a home, they can live at the shelter for the rest of their lives.
They will receive lots of love, and all the care and comfort they need. But
we need your help to do this.
