Dear Santa,
I’m Cassie, a young tiger and white kitty, and I’m devoted to my best friend, Willie. Willie is a handsome brown and white long-haired tiger who used to eat out of a dumpster in Portland.
Luckily, he was rescued by Safe Haven and they took great care of him. He was adopted by the same family that adopted me!
Then Willie began having seizures. The vet found he just needs a little pill twice a day to be completely healthy. So everything was fine again. For a while.
Then some terrible things happened in the family, Santa. For our own safety, we had to be removed from that house immediately. Safe Haven rescued us – again – and we’ve been comforted by the volunteers ever since.
Willie is doing great! He doesn’t even mind taking his medicine. We’re happy we’re still together, and hope to be adopted together into another home in time for the holidays.
Sometimes I think I’m the reason Willie doesn’t get a home. You see, Santa, I’m not as cuddly as Willy. Oh, you can pick me up and hold me, but some things make me jumpy, so I might not stay in your arms as long as you might like.
Why? When I was just about 12 weeks old, a teenage hunter used me as bait in coyote traps. Seriously! Wild animals sniffed me until they were shot. It was terrifying! I’m so glad Safe Haven rescued me.
So that’s why I’m not as relaxed as Willie, but I’m really lovable and fun and sweet. Everybody agrees that once I’m in a safe home with Willy and really loved, I’ll relax and be great!
Santa, we really want to stay together! So please try to find the right family to love us. We’re at the adoption center waiting. Please call 646-1611 or 229-8314 if you want to visit us!
Thank you Santa!
Love, Cassie.
The kitties thank you!
