Shnipshtas' Happy Ending ![]() We had a rough first week. This little bundle of fur was hiding under our living room couch, crying all night and all day. We would take him to sleep with us, and then he would scamper off to hide under the couch again, and start crying. After a few days he readily came to us, and was looking for some love, and we couldn't have been happier. In the beginning we had some funny phases: breaking things including a new end table, eating flowers, and yes, even some litter box issues. But we were in love with this little guy, and all these things were minor, compared to how much love this little baby has given me! It didn't take long before he grew out of those funny phases, and became a friendly, loving, tidy, well behaved Mr. Cat Shnipshtas! From time to time I send a donation to TLC, just to let them know how much I appreciate what they are doing. I let all my family and friends know about the TLC Animal Shelter and I truly hope and pray that there will be more people coming to adopt these animals, giving them love and a good home, because it is the most rewarding experience ever. Shnipshtas became my best friend, my best buddy, and we sleep together under the same blanket. He calms me down after a tough day of work, and we truly do adore him. At the same time I adore you guys for having this passion and strength to do great things for so many homeless animals. That's my happy ending with Shnipshtas as a part of my life! With our love and support, Shnipshtas & Family Hurry!
