In early June last year, my beloved black cat Merlin, whose name was picked by my late wife and whom I'd had longer than any of my cats, passed away unexpectedly.

As I've done every time since becoming a cat daddy, I went out & got a new cat to take my mind off my grief later that month.

Only, wait! (MAS) was doing a 2-fer on the one I chose. So, I came home with 2 orange and white cats.

Two orange and white cats. Carolina Peaches on the kitchen floor, looking up toward the spot Merlin had been sitting on in the earlier picture. And Cassidy on the rug in the dining room looking at Peaches.

I just heard yesterday that Memphis Animal Services is so overwhelmed by kitten season that, for the first time in over 4 years, they are putting healthy cats on the euthanasia list. This is devastating news.

If you're in the area and have any space for a foster cat or to add a new kitty to your family, now is the time to save a life.

Of my current 6 cats, 4 came from MAS. And Merlin did, too.
