Upstart stray wins competition … could one be the right pet for you?

By Duffy Hayes | Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 12:10 PM

We plucked this little item off the wires:

This pic shows Catherine Anderson, an adoption counselor with the New Hampshire SPCA, holding Chaplin, a former stray who won Best Household Pet at a cat show out East. The stray 2-year-old black and white cat beat out purebreds and other pampered felines to win top honors in a cat show.

What a lesson, the stray spanks the purebreds. It reminds of a recent story published by Mobile Junction reporter Richie Ashcraft, who reported that the local chapter of C.L.A.W.S. (Cats League and Assistance of the Western Slope, or , Cats Lives Are Worth Saving, as they like to say …) has a brand new facility and has many former stray cats ready for adoption.

Here’s the link to the story: http://community.gjsentinel.com/sites/mojo/?p=1440

You’ll find the C.L.A.W.S facility at 2214 Sanford Drive, behind the Acorn Gas Station on U.S. Highway 6 & 50.
