An Updated Photo

Animal turn-over at the shelter is not as bad as I had expected before I took the class and began volunteering at the shelter.  I couldn't remember the names of the cats in a particular room from the shelter last week, but most of my "favorites" are gone.  I'm very glad that so many kitties have found homes in the past week!  I really didn't expect as many adoptions to take place as they have.  I am concerned about the growing number of kennels that need to be cleaned 5 times a day and a prohibition on cuddling in all of the cat rooms, though. 
Purrcy has been here the longest of the cats I've had the opportunity to get to know.  This is an updated picture of him.  He's a really sweet guy, and despite being a primarily black animal I really hope he finds a home soon.  I can't imagine why he hasn't found a proper home yet, he's a fairly social cat and even sticks his paws out of the kennel when people are around.  (At least he always does when I'm there.)  He isn't an iconic black cat like Sabrina the Teenage Witch had, and that might contribute to his lack of adoption.  His fur is a bit more wiry than other cats around, and I suppose people may be less compelled to choose him over another animal.

  1. You've captured Purrcy's gaze really well. I didn't even notice the fur because I was so drawn in by the eyes. It looks like you used a vignette which I think worked well to create a halo around him. The one area I'd darken just slightly is the white patch under the tail as it distracts me a bit from his main facial features.

  2. This is a great photo of Purrcy. It does seem a bit yellow, but the posture, expression, and angle flatter Purrcy.

    I would love to see a photo of him last week too!
