Ferb
A few minutes with Ferb:
Q: What was your first reaction when you found out you were going to be in the newspaper this week?
Ferb: I’m appreciative of the attention, but, I mean, what took you so long? Look at me – I am the most handsome cat here. And I know I’m looked up to by the other cats, because of my large stature and, as I said, amazing good looks. So nice to finally be recognized publicly for my charms.
Q: How will this change your life?
Ferb: My coolness is now official. And if all goes according to plan, this article will find me the perfect home. I have my bags packed and I’m ready to get out of this place. Also, I may run for political office in the fall, so free publicity is great.
Q: What would you like to tell potential adopters?
Ferb: I am one cool cat. I’m very loving when I want to be. I’m two years old and I’m a big boy, weighing in at about 15 pounds. I let my favorite people carry me around. I have my moods occasionally, though. Sometimes I like to cuddle, sometimes I tell humans I’ve had enough. I’ll warn you that I don’t want to go to a home with young whippersnappers. I’d rather be an only cat because I deserve all the attention when I want it. Contrary to popular belief, there is not enough love to go around. It should be all mine until you irritate me.
Q: What do you miss most about being in a home?
Ferb: Hmmm … that’s a tough one … a home is the best! Comfy places to stretch out, windows to look out of, things to jump on, cardboard boxes to jump in … but mostly I miss having a special human who thinks of me as their best buddy. Telling me about their day while I look mildly interested, asking me about my day while I get some rubs and scratches – but stay away from my butt, I hate to have my butt scratched – and finding my special spot next to them on the couch and the bed.
Q: Any tips for being as cool as you are?
Ferb: It’s a natural talent. Your best hope is to adopt a cool cat like me. Then you can at least look cool. Folks who are interested in meeting me can come to the shelter during our open hours (Friday/Saturday/Sunday 12-4 p.m.), or call the shelter at 743-8679.
