UPDATE!!! Good news!!! - Johnny Shelton's cats need homes. [View all]

Last edited Sat Nov 24, 2012, 11:07 PM - Edit history (1)

I am so happy to report that less than 24 hours after I received the plea, all the cats already have homes!!! I couldn't be happier!!! Thank you to all who helped kick and rec this to get the word out. Sadly so many stories like this do not get resolved so well or so quickly. I am very grateful for this outcome.

As you may have read in this forum, Johnny Shelton recently passed away. He left behind 6 beautiful cats. He could never say no to an animal in need of a home. His family will be able to take 2 cats back to Dallas. That leaves 4 males - Napolean, Diablo, Tiger, and Wing Nut. Anyone who knows me well knows I have several already, so unfortunately I can't take any

Is there anyone out there who can take in one or more of these cats? They are all fixed and have been kept indoors most of the time. We have a week to find a place for them. If anyone is interested, PM me for the contact information.
