Woman in the Middle

I don’t take my carmera every time I go to Room 8. The last time was a month ago, but I kept forgetting to post the photos. Here are a few from that visit. I took most of my photos in a room that happens to have quite a few black and white cats. Look closely. Aren’t their intricate color patterns amazing?

Last but not least, it is tough not to just take someone home, when they lay all over your foot!

Room 8 was a cat who became a part of the class in Room 8 at  Elysian Heights Elementary School in 1952, and so he got the name Room 8. Hettie L. Perry was inspired by his story and decided to name her cat rescue after him. It is located in my fair city, just minutes from my house, and so I can go love on AS MANY CATS AS I WANT any time I want. Yes, I just yelled that because the idea that there are dozens of cats so close to my home, the vast majority of which want me to pet them is really mind boggling in a wonderful, amazing, and purely furry and delightful way.

Eldest and I went there last Friday. First  and foremost, I had to hold and love on my favorite elderly cat, Joey. He drools all over me in happiness every time I hold him. I love it!

Me and Joey. Hanging out, getting damp. It is all good!

I think Eldest’s red lipstick goes very well with Penny’s dark gray fur, don’t you?

Of course, it is kitten season so there are lots of adorable, and I do mean ADORABLE kittens at Room 8. Are you ready? Because you are about to experience an overload of CUTENESS (sorry, I can’t stop yelling. That is what Room 8 does to me!)

I am happy to report that lots of kittens are getting fixed and getting new homes. Of course, there are lots of kittens still and lots of older cats  that need new homes as well. Hubby and I feel that 3 cats is enough in our home right now, but I do hope to adopt from Room 8 in the future, particularly an elderly cat who is less likely to be adopted. Every space made is a space that can be filled by a cat that needs rescuing!
