Two Lovely Cats Need Lovely People to Adopt Them

"My mother loved animals. She adopted my two cats, Elvie and Shane, 10 years ago when my twin sons had both become severely allergic to them. My mother passed away recently, and I am at a loss as to what to do with the cats. I love them, but I can't keep them, I can't find an animal rescue group to take them, and I don't want to bring them to a shelter where they would be euthanized because they are 11 and 12 years old. They don't necessarily have to be adopted together. They are lovely and lovable, and they are very little trouble.

"Shane is a pure-bred, flat-faced, orange tabby Persian with enough personality for three cats! He is used to sitting on or by my mother, purring his head off all day. He's 11 years old and lonely, lonely, lonely since my mother's passing. (This photo is five years old; he's thinner now.)

"Elvie is a lovely black and orange tortie with big yellow eyes. I met her on a cold, rainy night in the Bronx when she tentatively crept up to me and then mewed and did a figure-eight in and out of my legs until I finally picked her up and took her home with me. She simply would not be denied. I think she must have been locked out or lost. She was so loving; she must have been somebody's.

"Their situation grows more urgent with each passing day. My mother has been gone for almost two months, and I cannot keep her apartment any longer. Even an interim placement would be a blessing at this point."

If you can take Shane or Elvie or both, or if you can help us get these lovely kitties placed, please call the AWAN Adoption hotline at (845) 679-0227 or click here to send an email
