Maryland Cat Owner Pens Heartfelt Letter to Future Adopter Before Dying
Source: ABC News
A Maryland animal shelter is hoping that a heartfelt letter written by Susie the cat's previous owner before her death, will help the feline's chances of finding a forever home.
"I'm sure that when she wrote it, she wrote it just to the intent of getting it to the adopter," said Katherine Zenzano, community outreach coordinator of Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center in Derwood, Maryland. "But we realized Susie was wasn't going anywhere. Some cats are really great at selling themselves and Susie wasn’t selling herself.
"If this letter can in any way help Susie, or any other cats in the same situation, we are happy to get it out there because we think it can touch a lot of people."
Zenzano told ABC News that Susie, a 5-year-old domestic short-hair orange tabby, was brought into MCASAC on May 15 by her owner's son, who said he was no longer able to care for his mother's cat following her death.

And all my animals ended up needing a new home. My family would try to get them into shelters, but having a letter of introduction about them, their ages, history (how I got them as rescues), health, personalities and what I love most about them and their problems, might make it easier to place them. I'm just afraid most of mine will be too old to find another home. I hope I outlive them all.
Some of these shelters have people who are really good at writing intros for their rescues. I might need help.
