Pal Robin Desmet, former Valley Patriot “Kitty’s Corner” columnist and respected MSPCA volunteer, goaded me into meeting the shelter’s senior cats just in case one took my fancy. They all did but most were spoken for.
But one buff beauty caught my eye and heart when he strutted his spry stuff in my presence. Lucky had been in this very room as a kitten, spent 14 loving years with a caretaker who recently entered hospice, then spent another 9 months in a difficult foster situation. His luck was about to change.
A year ago Sunday, Lucky came to live out his golden years with me, where he was treated like 14K gold.
Lucky was handsome and his puss truly belonged on the cover of the feline version of AARP as an inspiration to people and pets alike.
