The Desperate Housecats are here!

Mallie Boo here, reporting from the NAHS lobby where I've been spending my days supervising kittens, taking cat naps and interviewing all the awesome adoptables. For today's segment, let me introduce you to Bugsy. Bugsy is a seven years young gray shorthair tabby. We spent some time lounging at the NAHS office, and chatting over some delicious kibble.

Bugsy! I'm so glad we're getting a chance to converse. Why don't we start with you telling me how you came to be here at NAHS?

Thanks for the question. I came here to NAHS after living with a great family for many years. They had a very nice baby who I got along with fabulously, but as he started to get older he developed some allergies and they couldn't keep me anymore. My family knew NAHS would work really hard at finding me an awesome new home, so here I am.

I know when you first arrived, you came with your brother, Salem, is it okay if we talk about that for a little bit?

That is a rough topic for me. I did come to NAHS with my brother and lifelong companion, Salem. We were pretty much inseparable and I loved snuggling with him. Unfortunately, Salem had congestive heart failure, and even though NAHS did everything they could to keep us together, Salem passed away. I miss him lots and lots, but I know he's watching over me and making sure I find a great family.

Wow, that's a pretty sad story. Is there any good news to cheer us up?

There are always good things happening here too! So don't worry. In fact, we have a promotion coming up to help me, and the other kitties, in our quest to find fabulous forever homes.
It's called 'Desperate Housecats' and all March long the adoption fee for adult cats is $75, and any kitty seven years or older will go home for only $30. It's also a great chance for us to showcase our personalities, because the ladies here make really cute signs describing all the cats. I hope lots of potential adopters will come and check it out!

Thanks for chatting with me, Bugsy, I hope this will help people know about all the great kitties here at NAHS. Good luck with Desperate Housecats!
