Gretchen is the Animal Protection Society’s pet of the week

The Ani­mal Pro­tec­tion Soci­ety of Fri­day Har­bor shares a look at the adopt­able ani­mal of the week — Gretchen, a two-year-old domes­tic shorthair.

Hi there, my name is Gretchen and I’m one of the newest cats here at the shel­ter. I came here with my lit­ter of kit­tens — Jan­ice, Karen, Regi­na, and Dami­an — after being found as strays liv­ing out­side. Being out­side wasn’t always so bad, but once I had my babies, my pri­or­i­ties changed and I knew that get­ting us safe­ly inside was the best option. I just knew that if I could get us with the car­ing-kind-of-humans, we’d have the best shot at liv­ing long, full, hap­py, and love-filled lives, and that’s all a mom like me could ever hope for her children.

Although a lady like myself nev­er reveals all her secrets, suf­fice it to say, the first part of the plan has worked — I suc­cess­ful­ly got us all inside, and not just any inside, but in with APS-FH, and their car­ing-kind-of-humans who help to get cats like us adopt­ed into lov­ing, for­ev­er homes! Now the sec­ond part of the plan is in effect, and so far, so good. My lit­tle Jan­ice was the first of us to have found and gone home with her human fam­i­ly. Next to go were Karen and Dami­an who were adopt­ed togeth­er by their human this week. My mom­ma heart is so full to hear such great news regard­ing my babies — I sim­ply can­not wait until Regi­na and I have the same luck, with peo­ple com­ing to claim us as their own. Could you be those peo­ple for us?
