This is Sophia. She has no front claws and is, in many ways, helpless. When I first saw her she was also homeless. I adopted her from the shelter called "Help for Homeless Pets." She had a name I could not remember, so I renamed her Sophia - the Greek word for wisdom. Who would not want to live with wisdom?
I miss the cats I had to leave behind in Georgia - Thaddaeus, Barnabas, and Maximus, but I left them in the loving care of friends. I have discovered here that there are many lovely animals that also need a good home. Sophia's other human had to go to live in a nursing home, and Sophia had no one to comb her long fur. She allows me the privilege on a daily basis.
If you adopt from Help for Homeless Pets, you receive a month's free pet insurance so that you can make sure your new animal gets appropriate veterinary care. Sophia is off to another good start, and looky there -- I have windowsill that fits her exactly. It feels right to provide a home for a helpless pet.
In peace,
