After suddenly losing our White Kitty with the ice blue eyes right before the Thanksgiving holiday, we were very sad. What was there to be thankful for? we thought. Our hearts were broken. There was that gnawing, sick feeling we just couldn't seem to shake when you lose something so loved. And then one Sunday in January, while in a PetSmart in Melbourne, I found my eyes gazing into the copper eyes of this red, Persian beauty. I left the PetSmart continuing on with my day. However, I just could not stop thinking about those mesmerizing, copper eyes of that red, tabby, Persian cat! Finishing a latte at Starbucks with my 20 year-old son, I asked him if he would like to see this copper-eyed feline that kept permeating my thoughts. "Sure," he said. So we got into the car and headed back to PetSmart. I led him over to the cage with the red Persian and when he laid eyes on the cat, he smiled and said "Mom, you have to get this cat!" Well, my boyfriend was so happy to see me so happy after months of melancholy, he quickly agreed to adopt the red-haired, four-legged, puff ball we now call Laroux (red-haired one in French). Laroux is the sweetest, most loving pet either of us have ever experienced in our lives. And, our lives are now so much richer and happier with Laroux being a part of it. The idea that Laroux may have been put to sleep for lack of having a home is something we discuss often. We are so thankful to PAWS for giving us the opportunity to have Laroux in our home. Thank you PAWS! ~Nancy and Jerry
