A New Addition To The Family

Everyone, say hello to Buttons.

Buttons will be joining our house on Saturday this week (after the ol' neuter routine). The Ithaca SPCA page had this adorable description and we couldn't pass it up:

I am a young male. I was surrendered to the SPCA by my former owner who didn't take the time to leave any information about me. I am a super sweet and loving boy who loves to cuddle and is very playful. I am a handsome fellow with cute white mittens who must be seen to be appreciated. Please come to the shelter and meet me today!

Buttons has no tail, and is the cuddliest cat you've ever held. Everyone will have to come by and see him soon. :)

Congratulations! Nothing like having a cat around to liven things up. Better be careful, it’s amazing how 1 cat can turn into 2 cats.. then 3 cats..

Yeah, NOW he’s sweet and cuddly. Neuter him, then watch as he NEVER FORGIVES YOU. ;)

Actually, really funny you mention that.

We were holding the cat right before the application process, and Katie said something to the effect of “We’re sorry we have to neuter you…”, and I swear to god, the cat went O_O to me.

Anyhow, the neutering is included in the SPCA fee, and is why we can’t get him until Saturday.

And remember, control the pet population. Be sure you have your pets spayed or neutered.

Thanks, Dan. You’re a hero.

I LOVE YOU BOB.

I didn’t know you got email at the same address as Rampage, though…
