Don't let the picture fool you...I am an active 6 year old kitty waiting at CHS for my new family to come pick me up. I get along well with other cats and I love kids. I love to play but rest assured, I love my leisure time! I have a great personality and would do great in any home without dogs. Ask a CHS staff member how I am available through the senior to senior program.

A Letter from Buster...

Hi all,
Just thought I'd let you all know about my new forever home. You wouldn't believe how big my yard is. I get to run and run, I really think my leg is getting stronger. I get to go out often and get lots of exercise. My dad takes me out everyday about 5 times and throws the tennis balls until his arm hurts(he..he). I chewed up the new frisbee so I guess I have to wait on getting another one for a while. My mom goes to work everyday but tells me when I learn to be more gentle taking treats she will let me go to work with her. I try really hard not to grab the treats but they are sooooo good. I think I'm getting better though. She has a bunch of people who she says will love to see me. Right now they have someone bringing in dogs for the people to see and pet, but they can't come that often. The people she works with are in wheelchairs so I will be able to look them right in the face. I will be more then happy to go to work with her every week if she'll let me and they can pet me all they want.
I found out that I only get to go out the front door when I'm on a lead (I tried following mom out a couple of times but she wouldn't let me go) but the back door I just get to go out anytime I want. When I first got here they let me out but I was afraid to go back into the house. They had to put the lead on me to get me back in. Well I learn really fast. Its so much fun running around. They even let me go out back by myself, but I see them watching me in the window. I just pretend not to, its really easy to fool them. The people next door have cats. I think I scared them with my big bark...I was just saying Hi but they ran and I haven't seen them since. I really think I'm gonna like staying here at my new forever home. Mom told me I have some cousins that I will be able to play with soon. Aunt Penny has pointers and Uncle Brian has a golden retriever. I can't wait to meet them.
I have a hard time getting in and out of the car but mom always helps. I love to ride and go places. Mom says I'm a really good rider. They put the seats down so I have the whole back to lay down in and can even see out the windows. The food is good and I have a "treat box" too! Don't tell my mom but I really like my dad. I got in a little trouble the other day..dad was napping on the couch and mom was working on the computer. I was lonely so I crawled up on the couch with dad. I'm not suppose to be up there but I just looked at them with my big brown eyes and got to stay there for a little while. Dad finally got up and took me out and we shoveled snow...boy was that fun. Dad shovels paths for me in the yard..not that I need them and usually I run everywhere but he's trying to make it so I don't have to be in deep snow to do my business. It really does help. Mom's camera is not working right now but when she gets it fixed she said I could send pictures. Tell everyone I said Hi and I hope all my friends get to go to forever homes like I did.

Talk to you soon!

Buster
