Chloe's Happily Ever After...
 
 
I just wanted to thank everyone at PARL.  I was there yesterday to adopt a cat.  I got the best cat ever and everyone was so nice and helpful.  I didn't pick this cat.  She picked me.  Just crawled right into my lap while I was talking with a volunteer.  She adjusted right away to our home and is living in a 3 story victorian home in Edgewood.  She has free roam of 4 floors and hasn't finished exploring yet.  Even had a visit to a groomer for a nail trim today.  She is sweet and affectionate and layed right across my husband and my lap to watch the Yankees game last night.  Attached is a photo of Chloe in her new home.

Thank you to everyone!
