Happy Tails
Magic (formerly Hope)
Dear Barc-- This is a story about a cat named Magic (aka. HOPE), who transformed me from an indifferent, cat tolerator to a full-blown cat daddy of two. I've loved animals my whole life but never had a pet and somehow never imagined the possibility as an adult until November, 2006. I came to BARC to check out dogs, but my friend persuaded me to visit the cat loft, where I was taken by a young cat who seemed very exploratory and active. Upon closer inspection, it turned out she had no eyes. (I couldn’t quite believe it, so I had to ask.) I went home alone but smitten.
I went back 2 days later and brought her home. My boyfriend and I often forget that she is blind, as she will look right at you most of the time, and has no problem getting in the middle of whatever is going on in the room. Then again, she bumps into things and stares at the wall, but she knows her way around and gets faster and smarter every day. She loves rattling balls, the sound of running water, crackly plastic bags and she has even grown to like the friend we brought home for her to play with. Thank you BARC for making sure this very special girl was taken care of so I could find her.

Happy Tails
In what could only be described as fate, I first saw and fell in love with Zooey, then Eller, at the ACC. As soon as they brought her out of her crate, I knew she was the puppy for me. In the midst of our first meet, an employee informed me that she had already been adopted and that her cage was mis-marked.
