Thursday Purrs: Vladimir
"hey there!
The name's Vladimir. You know, as in Vladimir Purr-tin ... Vlad the (not so) Bad. Keep 'em coming, guys! Yeah, I've heard 'em all, MOL!"
"I'm a handsome 3 year old mancat (if I do say so myself), just hanging out here at Great Plains waiting for my forever human to come by and be bowled over by my irresistible charm.
Did you know black cats are considered less adoptable? *horrified look* Was it something I said?!?!?
I mean, seriously, I'm an easy going, affable kinda fellow, who wouild love to be your companion for life.
And research says that we housepanthers are scientifically known to be more congenial. Did you know that?
Science doesn't lie. Just ask my purr machine if it isn't a true thang.
Whatcha waiting for?
Come on down and let's get to know one another!
Eager purrs,
Vlad"
Vladimir is available at the Merriam Campus of Great Plains SPCA today!

Celebrating #Specially-AbledPetsDay
Annually on May 3, National Specially-abled Pets Day is celebrated.
This day is set aside to educate the public about caring for disabled pets, to feature disabled animals looking for a home and encourage animal lovers to consider a disabled pet when they are looking to adopt a new family member.
___________________
You've seen it countless times, those cats in a shelter who are overlooked for various reasons.
Tripod cats, one-eyed cats, deaf cats, cats with special medical conditions.
I think Julie of Sometimes Cats Herd You said it best in our video, For the Animals, when she stated "they're not damaged goods at all!"
Which is why I love the term Specially-abled (or Differently-abled) and not Disabled.
Because, although they may be different, they're not 'less than'. A cat missing an eye is not less lovable than one with both eyes. A cat who cannot hear can still feel your affection.
And a cat with FIV may be immune-challenged, but hey - as of 2 months ago, so am I.
You wouldn't consider me to be a less-worthy human being just because I now have an autoimmune disease. (or at least I certainly hope you wouldn't! ;-)
So why so we do that with cats? Or dogs? Or ferrets, or any other companion animal?
As you know, Maxwell came to us as a cat with no eardrum, who was profoundly deaf. He's truly the sweetest cat I've ever been privileged to have in my life. And when the day comes that we're ready to adopt another animal - I'll look first at those who have lived the longest in a shelter.
The ones that, day in and day out, are walked past. Overlooked. But still capable or great love, affection and companionship.
Won't you consider the same?

| Does this handsome blue boy look like damaged goods to you? We didn't think so! |

| Sweet Marty was a Wayside kitty who found a loving home last year. His new family didn't care that he was FIV+. They saw past that to the love he has to give. |

| Would you walk past this adorable girl just because she only has three legs? Or perhaps it's because of the color of her fur. She's no less loving for that! |
