Loves People - and Shelves - Wants Home

“You know the song, ‘Don't be so scared of changing And rearranging yourself, It's time for jumping down from the shelf, A little bit….’ But here’s the truth: I like it up here on the shelf! It’s warm. I have a blanket. I can see what’s going on. And I don’t want to rearrange myself. I’d just like my people to show up, appreciate my gentle street-wise self, love me, and take me home – where I’ll have My Shelf, not just a shelf.”

“I know myself. I’m a classic tabby woman with some almost crop circles on my sides. I’ve had some adventures in my one or two years of life. See my poor ear? Got bit by a big green parrot! Nasty thing. Squawked all the time. Chomped other folks’ ears. No more parrots in my life. (Don’t believe the humans. They’ll say it was frostbite. It was the parrot – even had its own pirate….)”

“I was once loved. I know, because when you pet me, I remember. When you scratch my chin, I know to nuzzle your hand and purr. But I don’t want to give up my shelf just yet. I like it. I think you kind of like me – like my learned and earned wisdom. Georgie Girl does know many things. Consider me – gentle, warm, a good cat, a classic cat, a want to be a homebody cat. “

“Give me a minute to wash up here. I want to be sure I’m pure shiny-stripes clean just in case you’re my forever loving people. Want to be sure my feathers aren’t dowdy. Oh, you’re right – cats don’t’ have feathers…But this cat has love – love for people, love for home, love for shelves. You know, I could be a lap cat – nice warm lap, nice warm cat. A girl can dream, can’t she?”

How about this? How about Georgie Girl adopted forever and ever by you? Georgie sleeps in your lap. You rub Georgie’s neck and funky ears. We love each other. Ooh. $120 is all it takes. Would you? Tabbiness is next to cleanliness, or something like that.”

If you'd like to know more about me, just stop in at the Adoption Center to meet me or leave a message for my secretary at 651-642-5900 ext. 3. She'll call you back.
