sapphire”,是蓝宝石的意思吧。耐心看了看她的description，然后感动的哭了。尤其
是被foster抱回家，对着黑夜呼吸新鲜空气那一段。
不负责任的转来给大家看一看。网址贴在这边好了。

Sapphire's Story: Sapphire was surrendered to the shelter last summer at
the tender age of one year. Her owner never had gotten her spayed, so
when Sapphire went into heat and started acting up, her owner simply took
her into the shelter and got rid of her. She was immediately spayed by
the shelter and put up for adoption, whereupon she settled down. But,
surrounded by cages and cages of kittens coming and going during the busy
kitten season, she languished in her cage, watching people come and pick the
kittens and pass her by unnoticed. It didn’t help that she was black –
black cats are the LAST to be adopted.
This gorgeous, fluffy feline sat in a tiny 2’x2’ cage, waiting. Summer
became Fall, Fall became winter. All the last kittens of the season were
adopted for Christmas, and Sapphire still sat in her 2’x2’ cage. We had
room open up in foster care and went to the shelter to see who needed to
get out. Although all the kitties wanted out of course, none had been
there as long as Sapphire. Five months, this young and playful cat had been
stuck in a small cage - for one-third of her life. Immediately I knew she
was the one who needed to come home with me.
When we got home, she ran around the room then rolled on her back. She was
SO happy to be able to stretch her legs. She became fascinated with the
carpeted cat condo which was parked in front of the window. She scratched
her nails on it, climbed up, and then….. she saw the window and looked out
into the dark, cool night. She hadn’t breathed outdoor air in 5 months.
She was transfixed. After a few hours of eating quality food, exchanging a
few courtesy hisses with her foster cat roomie, and playing like crazy, she
settled down and purred contentedly in my arms.
She runs to me when I come into the foster room, eager to be held and
snuggled, but just LOVES that she can see the out doors and breathe the cool
, rainy air. | K******t

在笼子里面好呢。加州冬天也不冷的。
哎！
家里的那只真是身在福中不知福。。。。。 | N******t

我觉得被foster的猫也好可怜，会不会觉得自己终于有家了，结果过段时间又被送回去
，好像被主人遗弃了一样
唉，可惜个人能力有限 | H******o
发帖数: 674 | 6 也不知道foster到底是不是一个很好的办法。
有时候觉得其实野猫也是他们自己的一种生活方式。
你看浣熊也很多野的，松鼠也是。大家也没有rescue他们。
只不过希望养了猫的不要丢弃，因为家养的猫丧失野外生存能力了。 | b******s

领养了两只黑猫的俺觉得一丝安慰。我家的小黑也在shelter里呆了6个月，那时侯她的
名字叫“Am I"，因为她很少吃东西，shelter staffs老是说“Am I eating today?" | k******r
