I'm co-pres for AAFP (american assoc of feline practitioners) here at Purdue. We organized a cat adoption day. Adopted out 15 hard to place adult cats. It was awesome. Even made the news!

Michelle,
This is absolutely wonderful! I read both stories, and just loved them. I'm so proud you all found homes for so many lucky older cats! I was raised in the country in West Lafayette, and some of our cats as a child/teenager came from the Tippecanoe Humane Society.

Congratulations!

Btw, where do you plan to practice when you graduate? And when is graduation? :wub:

Hi Michelle,
That is such a worthwhile project. It's people like your group that make a difference in the life of a mature cat. :heart:

Thanks for the links. Both articles are truly touching. :wub:
