Sigh...I'm still waiting!

I keep hearing the volunteers say they can't believe no one has adopted me yet.  Now I'm starting to wonder why.  I've had over 100 views of this lovely blog, but still no one has inquired about me.  Maybe my true forever person just hasn't seen me yet.  Maybe YOU are the one I'm waiting for!

Do you want to know about me?  Ok, I LOVE people.  I LOVE being pet.  I LOVE playing.  I'm a cat whose got it all.  I just really don't love other cats.  So, if you are looking for a one and only to love, I'm your guy. If you have one other calm cat, that would probably be okay too. I promise to be the best companion you've ever had. I'll make you smile.  I'll snuggle up with you to watch a movie.  I'll help you catch some rays on your deck. 

Just contact howardcountycats@earthlink.net to set up a time to come meet me.  I know you'll fall in love.  I'm packing my bags now and waiting for YOU! 

My funny story for the week

Hi Everyone!  Just wanted to tell you a funny story.  As you might have read below, I'm not overly fond of all the cats in the shelter at the moment.  I enjoy hanging out on top of the refrigerator to get away from them.  The volunteers always give me lots of attention.  One of them was petting me and loving me. I was enjoying it so much.  I kept leaning into her arm until I FELL off the refrigerator.  Of course I meant to do that!  I thought she needed a good laugh.  I aim to please!

If you are looking for an awesome cat, it's definitely me.  I'd be absolutely fine as an only cat or if you have one other very calm cat I'm sure that would be fine too.  Won't you come meet me?  I know if you spend some time with me you will fall in love...and if not, I'll get more of the loving I so enjoy!  Contact howardcountycats@earthlink.net to set up a time. 

If you want to see some videos of me in action, scroll down a few posts.  There are some links in previous postings.

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July!  See, I've got top row seats for the fireworks.  :) Be safe out there, and when the celebration is done, come and adopt me!  

Oh, I need to give credit to Stephanie Harry for all the fantastic photos you see of me.  Photo shoot days are such fun!

Still waiting

Oh phooey!  I thought for sure once everyone read my story and saw how lovey I was, people would be knocking down the doors to adopt me.  I see you all want me to do more work.  That's okay!  I love telling you about myself because I know one day you'll send that email saying you want to adopt Mitch!!!

As you may or may not know, the cats at the Howard County Cat Club shelter are not kept in cages.  We are free to roam around and even have an outdoor enclosure where we can enjoy the great outdoors.   I'm not so certain about a couple of the cats here, so I've decided to take the penthouse suite for now.  I spend a lot of time up on the refrigerator and cabinets.  The volunteers give me lots of one-on-one loving up here, and I'll come down if one of them is nearby to say hi.  I would prefer a home that had maybe one other calm cat or even a home that just wanted little old me!

Did I mention I like to play?  I love wand toys!  Here's a video of one of the volunteers playing with me.

Well that's about it for now.  Now I know you will want to come adopt me.  I'm loving AND playful.  What more can a human ask for?

Please send an email to howardcountycats@earthlink.net and tell them you saw my blog and want MITCH!  Hopefully my next entry can be that I'm in my new forever home!  Bye!

Allow me to introduce myself

Hi everyone!  My name is Mitch.  See that big M on my forehead.  It's an easy way to remember my name! 

I'm really trying hard to find my forever home. One of the nice volunteers who takes care of me is helping me create my very own blog.  She just knows if people read about me, see my handsome pictures, and view videos of me they will fall in love and whisk me off to a brand new life!

Ok, so do you want to hear my story?  Somehow I ended up at Baltimore County Animal Control. YIKES!  Do you know what they do to unwanted cats there?  I shudder at the thought, but luckily my guardian angels were watching over me.  One day a nice volunteer from the Howard County Cat Club showed up and took me to their cage-free, no-kill shelter.  Whew! That was close.  I'm so grateful to all the volunteers who take care of me, but I so want my very own forever home.

I have no idea why I was abandoned.  I hear words like "love bug," "friendly," and "sweetheart" all the time when the volunteers are talking to me.  Those are good words, right?  I would probably be a great companion for a child and would be happy being an only cat or living with one other calm cat or dog.  Big crowds don't impress me!  I'd also love some safe access to the outdoors to get some fresh air.

Here's a video of one of the volunteers giving me some loving.  I was in heaven!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JzAxmLGfO0   Did you see my little tongue hanging out?!

I'm going to be posting more pictures and videos so please check back for updates.  If you think I would fit nicely into your home, please contact howardcountycats@earthlink.net   Tell them Mitch sent you!
