03/19/2015 WEB MEMO
A staff member writes: Gradie the lady was so excited to get some attention she scooted to the front of her cage and flopped over on her side to accommodate. As soon as I started the head scratches, she began to loudly purr and looked me directly in the eyes, thanking me. Once I started, her cuddly antics were so charming I couldn’t stop, and she certainly wasn’t going to ask me to. If you want a big, mushy cuddle-bug, Gradie is the cat for you. Come make her day and give her the home she deserves!
