A few weeks ago, John and I took a trip to our local Animal Shelter to adopt a kitten. John spotted "the one" immediately. I had always wanted an orange colored cat and John went straight to a beautifully colored calico kitten. We spent some one-on-one time with her and loved her sweet personality and her extremely loud purring (seriously, she purrs very loudly!). Needless to say, we adopted her on the spot and were able to pick her up a few days later. We named her Raja, after the tiger in the Disney movie, Aladdin. She transitioned wonderfully! She explored the house all day and slept under our bed that night. She loves "helping" Daddy work on Fridays by sleeping in his lap all day. She loves jumping and cuddling, and even likes sliding on our tile floor. We now now understand the saying "curiosity killed the cat" because there is no place in our house that Raja hasn't explored.
The ASPCA was the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. Our mission, as stated by our founder, Henry Bergh, in 1866, is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States”
