Wilbert
Hi friends, On December 1st of 2007, my husband and I made a quick stop at PetSmart in Maplewood for a new dog bed for our elderly dog. It was 3:00 p.m., and your team was just winding down from an adoption event. We had not known the event was happening, and were not out looking for a new companion, but there were two cages that had not yet been packed away, and we took a peek. What we found was a delightful black kitty named 'Wilbert', who I knew instantly was meant to be a part of our family. My husband was not quite as certain until I handed him the kitten, who proceeded to curl right up in my husband's arms and go to sleep. Love. Wilbert changed his name to Java, and brought sunshine, laughter and love to our home. He adores our other cat and our dog as well as any human he meets. At night, he usually sleeps next to 'mom' with his head on her pillow and his paws on her face. He is bright, curious, funny, energetic and loving. Thank you for the important work that you do. We can't imagine our lives without Java now. I have attached a few photos - please feel free to post them on your website. Warm regards, Lorrie and Randy Fane
