Meet Pirate
 

Pirate is such a smart cat! His previous owner abandoned him, so he joined up with one of the feral colonies of cats that are fed daily by SG4F. That way, he never had to miss a meal! But he did miss being loved and cared for by a human of his very own, so Pirate decided to take charge of his fate. One night, when the SG4F volunteer came to feed the colony, Pirate walked right up to her and made it clear that he wanted more than just food. He wanted someone to love him! So the volunteer gathered him up in her arms, popped him into a carrier, and brought him in to our shelter. Pirate is a young guy, probably not more than two years old. He's a little feisty, so he lets all the other cats in our shelter know that he must be top kitty, but still, he’s quite adorable! He loves people—all people—and he’s not above begging for scratches behind the ears. He likes being held, too—which some kitties do not. Pirate even enjoys a little belly rub now and then. He loves playing with fishing pole toys, or feather wands, and he very much craves a good snack of canned food each day. He would be a great pet for any home, especially a home with no other cats (though he’d tolerate one or two, as long as they let him be the Pirate Captain…hee hee hee).
