Archie The Cat Finally Finds Home After Years Of Helping Other Shelter Cats
“Dear Santa، I’d like you to meet Archie. He was my best friend when I was at the shelter that saved my life… He’s been at the shelter for THIRTEEN YEARS، ever since he was a kitten. That’s a human’s entire time in school، plus kindergarten. He’s very shy، but he’s also very sweet and gets along with other cats. And he really، really، really wants to find his forever home. And that’s what I want for Christmas، Santa.”
After this letter was posted، the picture of furry friends Archie and Eddie got hundreds of shares، reaching people across the nation، including Chicago resident Jennifer Baird. She said:
“Archie socialized the majority of kitties at the shelter but was never chosen for a home. It broke my heart. I saw that he was in New York and waited a day or so for someone to speak up as I live in Chicago.”
As Archie’s photo went viral and people started getting interested in him، Baird knew she had to do something، so she said:
“That’s when I responded to Jennifer and said I’ll take him. I’m in Chicago. I need help in getting him here to me.”
Baird is a huge cat-lover who has rescued numerous abandoned cats، so the fact that Archie was feral didn’t bother her. She said:
“I have had feral cats and have a great understanding of their needs and embrace that.”
The shelter successfully planned Archie’s transportation to Chicago، but the only problem was the cost of the transport.
