suzie bath 225x300 Suzie becomes a VermonsterWe are excited to say that Suzie (pictured right, calmly sitting during a bath) left for her new forever home in Vermont this morning. Suzie first came to us in November of 2008. She was one of hundreds of animals rescued from a hoarding facility in Indianapolis. Suzie has always been very sweet, quiet, and cuddly. We assumed she would be one of the first of that batch of cats to find a new home. Unfortunately, everyone else seemed to think that she would easily find a home, too, so she spent a year and a half with us… patiently waiting.

We always joked about Suzie being a creepy cat. That’s what we’ll miss most about her. She was just this tiny little ball of pitch black hair with huge golden eyes. She never said a peep. She loved people, but its as if she never wanted to be a burden. So you would be sitting there and look over to find Suzie quietly staring at you. Who knows how long she had been sitting there staring. It was at the moment that you looked at her that she would let out a silent meow and then take the few remaining steps toward you and put one paw on you to indicate that she wanted you to pick her up. She is adorable.

We couldn’t be happier with her new home, either. She is heading up to Vermont with Tessa and Jojo – two friends who have spent that past few months hanging out in Indiana to help with the sanctuary. We are sad to see them go, but at least they get to take a cuddly part of the sanctuary home with them.

Join us in wishing Suzie a great time with her new family.
