“Hi, I’m Jaeda, and I’m shiny and black. Very shiny. Very black. I’m friendly, friendly, very friendly, and I squeak and purr. Would you like to pet me? Would you like me to sit in your lap? Would you like to take me home? (Hint….)”

“I’m about a year old, and I’d like a safe, warm place with lots of food at which to spend all nine of my lives. Feline Rescue is a good place – much better than outside – much better than no home, but I’d like to have my place, Jaeda’s place, my special place, with my special people. I’m not sure that I’ve ever had a safe, settled, reliable place, not sure at all. I know I spent several days at animal control, even though there’s not a darn thing about me that needs controlling. I’m sweet as can be, gentle, and trustworthy, too.”

“Now I’ve spent several days here at Feline Rescue, and I know I’m safe, but…if I have to listen to the MPR pledge drive one more day…aieeee! Yesterday, I sent half of my munchies to MPR, thinking that would get them to hush and play me a nice violin concerto. It didn’t – and I think they ate my munchies, too. I’m a young and generous girl, but I’m ready for some music.”

“How about it? Do you feel yourself in the mood for a shiny lady, very much a lady, very much a cat? I will squeak and purr and toss my toys in the air with joy if you’ll come to Feline Rescue and adopt me away from the pledge drive! Bring $120 so my friends here can get more munchies for my roommates and soul mates. On our way home, please play jazz or oldies, OK? No pledge drive and, for sure, no rap stuff, OK? I am Jaeda – let’s go home!”
