Meet SpokesCat Zoey!

“I was sad when my 20-year-old cat, Kit, died. Even one night without a cat in the
house seemed wrong. The next day I went to the animal shelter “just to look.” I
immediately fell in love with Sasha, a beautiful 3-year-old blue tortoiseshell. As I
was preparing to leave with her, the attendant mentioned that Sasha had a sister,
Zoey, that she was bonded with. Well, sisters need to stay together….

This year’s Spokescat is Zoey, the cat who almost didn’t make her way into my life
and my heart. Whether she’s perched on a barstool near the window surveying her
realm indoors and out, or patiently stalking a bug as it climbs the wall, or walking
across the keyboard as I’m trying to enter my password, Zoey is a delightful and
affectionate member of my household.”
