I was walking home from a client this afternoon when I saw a store off of 26th Street that I thought was a pet store. I poked my head in and asked if they sold a certain kind of cat food, and the woman inside told me that it wasn't a pet store, but rather a pet rescue center.
I'd never seen an entire store dedicated to cat adoption, but it turned out that I was in Ollie's Place, which is exactly that. In the window sat Lovebug, a mush of a tabby who purred and nuzzled the second I picked her up. She really deserves a great home -- she was a total lap cat. On the second floor was an entire room of wonderful, free roaming cats, all looking for new homes.
I'm limiting myself to one Krazy Kat Lady reference per week, but Ollie's is a great place, especially if you have room in your life for a furry friend. Or you could at least make a donation online. Cat litter is expensive.
