Athena |
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, justice and
skill. This amazing torbie has continued with that tradition.
Athena arrived at Animal Aide in September of 2003, at the age
of 1 year, but already raising four kittens of her own. Athena
and her kittens were trapped by a cat-hating man who had to be
talked into bringing them in to us rather than drowning the five
of them. Although very frightened upon her arrival, Athena shows
a wisdom far beyond her years. The injustice of her hardships
before becoming part of our family, taught her the skills of
street survival. Athena has a rough exterior, but a heart of
gold and she has become a favourite of several of our
volunteers. She is slow to trust people, but when you have
earned that trust, you will know that you have accomplished a
great feat. Athena is accepting appointments at Animal Aide at
333 Talbot St, St. Thomas,
emails
through the website, or calls
at 519-633-3788. Remember, trust is a terrible thing to waste.

Clara & Patty |

and Patty (right)
These two 'old' girls are very near and dear to all at Animal
Aide and, after four years with us, have become mascots of our
centre. Clara was trapped in a home where she was barely
surviving with 34 other cats. Clara was taken from there to a
wonderful foster home, but the shock of the dramatic change left
Clara very spooked and wary of strangers. For approximately one
year, Clara lived in the ceiling of this home where she was
alone and frightened. When she arrived at Animal Aide on July 4,
2002, she was already 5 years old and set in her mysterious
ways. At first, Clara rejected all of our efforts of love and
affection, but then she met Patty. Patty arrived at Animal Aide
on August 7, 2002 at the age of 6 years, and was sent to a
foster home for a while. When Patty returned to our center, she
took notice of Clara's inability to trust people and took her
under her wing. Patty is a sweet old soul who is very quiet,
enjoys being petted and has no fear of people. She can be held
for short periods of time, but gets heavy quickly as she is
slightly overweight and inactive. Since Patty's arrival from the
foster home, Clara has come out of her shell. Seeing Patty so
calm and relaxed in the company of people has given Clara a
confidence we had not seen in her before. If you move slowly,
Clara is happy to accept some petting and will usually stretch
her head towards your hand. For Clara, being in a home would
mean little without her best pal, Patty. Both girls enjoy a
little soft food every day and we are happy to give them this
special treat. These girls would do best in a home with no young
children or other pets. We truly believe these two were destined
to meet and they both deserve to find a loving home together
where Patty can continue to work her magic. Patty is such a
sweet girl, and Clara has been through enough! If you have room
in your heart for these two 'old' girls, and can provide a safe
environment where Clara won't feel the need to hide, please come
visit Animal Aide at 333 Talbot St, St. Thomas,
send
an email,
or call at 519-633-3788. Won't you give these two a chance?
