The ones that need you the most

Maybe you can’t teach a 26-year-old arthritic cat many new tricks, but you sure can provide him with love and assistance.

When Thomas’ previous owner was no longer able to care for him, he ended up in an animal shelter.  His chances of being adopted were far less than those of a healthy kitten.

But there are still some souls who rate compassion over convenience.  Thomas was fortunate enough to garner the attention of one such heroine.  Laura Cassiday of the Animal Allies Rescue Foundation read about Thomas on the shelter’s Facebook site and picked him up almost immediately.  He is now the feline patriarch of her seven-cat household.

Cassiday explained:  The shy ones, the old ones, the ones that hide in the back of their cages, the ones that just don’t stand out [are] the ones that need you the most and have just as much love to give as any other pet.
