Monk's Story

Monk Gender: Male Age: 15 weeks (est. DOB 5/2/2007) Breed: Domestic Short Hair Color: Sable Hometown: San Jose, CA Clan: Henry the Wonder Cat, Maisy, Mason, Mimi, Molly, Morgan Status: Adopted!

Please don't turn away. I know I'm quite a sight. My brothers and sisters and I were found hiding in a bush that had very pointy leaves in a parking lot at a strip mall in San Jose. One of my sister's eyes was scratched, my brother Sprint fell into a nearby pipe, and I injured my eye. What a sad lot! Thank goodness we were rescued!

When I was rescued, my mom immediately took me to a vet, who thought my eye might be able to be saved. But as time went by, my eye just didn't heal, and so it was removed. This hasn't slowed me down one bit -- I love to roughhouse with my brothers and sisters, and the vet says that I'll adjust to living with one eye because I'm very young. I'm the smallest, and all my brothers and sisters love me and look out for me; they often let me win when we're wrestling because they know I'm special. I'm best buddies with Sprint, Morgan and Mimi. I love to be held and bounce over to mom when she enters the room. Even though I'm small, I have a deafening purr!

Please give me a chance.
