Excerpt:
“I wanted to go to an adoption center and let the cat pick me,” recalls Margee Laubenthal. “I didn't want to pick a cat from a picture, but I saw a picture of Merit and could not get him out of my mind.” For Laubenthal, it was time — finally — to get a cat. She'd had cats in the past, and now that she was moving into a larger place, she was once again in a position to adopt. The only problem was that Merit, the handsome Maine Coon that won her heart, had come along a little too soon — Laubenthal was still in the process of moving. “By the time I'm ready,” she worried, “he's not going to be available — he'll be gone.” But Merit wasn't gone. In fact, he showed up again, this time on the Arizona Maine Coon Cat Rescue website. And this time he had company: Pepper. The two had come to Phoenix together, along with 73 other Pahrump Cats (including Flora), as part of the “Best Friends Across America” event in January. |
