Chez Still Needs Your Help

Do you remember the news story back in August about the homeless man that killed an elderly man allowing homeless people to take haven in his backyard?  You can go HERE to read one of the many news stories about this tragedy.  I was at the vet's yesterday with my little Jack, getting him fixed up to the tune of $200 (yikes!).  After we adopted him from the shelter we found out he has something called mega-colon (which I won't get into, but basically the image that the word "mega-colon" conjured up in your head is just about right!).  Anyhoo.....while I was waiting for them to bring my Jackie-boo out, I noticed that they had all sorts of posters up about a cat named Chez who is looking for a home.  Being the animal sucker lover that I am, I had to find out all the details.  (After repeatedly assuring them that I was NOT in the market for a new pet!).  
It turns out that there is actually another tragedy besides the elderly good samaritan who lost his life.  Apparently he had a cat (Chez), who is now homeless.  Ironic, right?  One of the neighbors contacted The Vet House (here in Richardson) to determine if they would take Chez in and help him find a home.  Being animal-loving, good natured people they were happy to oblige.  But now they are charged with the task of finding little Chez a home.  Because living at the veterinarian's is no place to live permanently (even though they are giving him run of the employee kitchen, and I'm sure quite a lot of love & attention).   This poor little guy who is already mourning the loss of his owner is completely uprooted and living in unfamiliar surroundings.  You know how upset your pets get when you walk into the vets?  Imagine now living there for good - confused, not knowing what's going on.  Oh, it makes me so sad.
Here's what we know about Chez.  He is very sweet and good natured.  He gets along well with other cats and dogs.  He is neutered and completely up to date on all his shots.  He is an adorable orange, fluffy ball of kitty, who is about 8 months old.  He needs someone to step up and give him a home.  Not a place to stay.  He needs a family that will love him and take care of him forever and ever.  Amen.
If you have room in your home and your heart for this sweet guy, please contact The Vet House at (972) 690-8741.   Tell them Brenda sent you.  They knew I was writing this story and were kind enough to send me the pics of little Chez!  You are welcome to go by there anytime to meet & greet Chez.  (By the way, that's just the name they've given him - so if you're not sold on that you can probably change it and he won't care a bit!).  Won't someone please help a kitty out?  Take it from someone who is a serial-adopter....these little guys know that you saved their life and they are oh, so grateful.  Ours have been such blessings and are indeed very valuable members of the Park family.  Someone please adopt this baby so I can sleep at night!  :)
