I'm web adopting a cat!

I have signed up to become a buddy for a homeless cat through the Red Door Shelter in Chicago. This wonderful animal rescue organization offers a program where one can donate money to support a cat, dog, bunny, bird, duck or whatever animal may be in the shelter at the moment. I did it in honor of my nephew's birthday and because I am yearning for a cat but can't have one because of my allergies.

Can't believe how excited I am to meet my buddy - even if it's only online! I suppose I could go visit him/her and take photos.....hmmmmmm.

I'll keep you posted.

Here's the link to the buddy program. I love this program.

And here is a big photo of my beloved Persian, Roscoe, so you can see him in all his glory. He died last summer. Even though I had to take pills and use an inhaler when I had him, it was well worth it! Would I do that to myself again? Nope. Which is why I'm on a hypoallergenic cat hunt. I may have to settle for a dog eventually - a hypoallergenic one since my husband is allergic to dogs! Why do i think that the hypoallergenic cat is likely a myth but believe that there are hypoallergenic dogs (among them Shih Tzus, Poodles & Portuguese Water Dogs?? Does anybody know the truth about this?

Anyway, heeeeee's Roscoe:
