“Do you dream of a Dracula cat gracing your sofa? Perhaps even snuggling up with a very handsome fellow who sports his own set of slightly protruding fangs? Then look no further!

As a general rule, I don’t like to talk about myself (I’m friendly but more of a cuddler than a chatter) but the lady at the shelter said I had to write a little bit to introduce myself, so here goes… Getting used to using the keyboard has not been the easiest, I started writing this in the fall.

I’m currently residing at the shelter with the other cats, watching the snowfall and hoping that my typing skills might be my ticket to a new home… I can perform light secretarial duties (licking stamps for example) and I am happy to pitch in with a little spring gardening (I have quite the knack for digging holes)….If you are interested please pop by and pay me a visit.

Yours Sincerely, Blackie.”
