A few weeks back, Tracey and I were checking out some of the newest PAWS cats. On one of the intake cages was a card that read, "Vine." I looked in, and gasped when I realized that the cute, round-faced adult kitty looking back at me was an old, dear friend who had been one of the first cats ever featured on our blog (back in January 2009).
Vine always had the sweetest, most loving disposition, and we never forgot this snuggly girl, even after she was adopted. When we opened the cage door, it was pretty evident she remembered us, too. And that she still had the same amazing personality. She popped right up and repeatedly rubbed her face against mine, all the while kneading her cat bed and purring away. :)
We found out that Vine came back to PAWS through no fault of her own. Sadly, her human became ill, and is no longer able to keep her. We can tell Vine's human loved her a lot, and took good care of her. And even though she's now a senior kitty (13 years old), it's clear she still has so much love to give, and so much life to live. Vine is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, micro-chipped, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Won't you please consider giving this beautiful lovebug the new forever home she wants and deserves?

What a beautiful and sweet girl. Purrs to you, Vine!
I'm so sad Vine's human had to give her up. :-( At least she is back where she is loved lots - and can take her time looking for exactly the right new home!
Aw poor girl... she does look very pretty and very sweet. It's nice to see old friends again, but I hope she finds a home!
It must have been hard for Vine's purrson to give her up.
WE will purr very hard that she gets another loving home.
Purrs Georgia and Julie,

Today's post really tugs at my heartstrings. How heartbreaking it is for both human and kitty to have to part under such conditions. At least sweet Vine is now among friends. Praying that she finds a very special home - what a beautiful, loving cat!

Vine is so sweet looking. We're sorry she has had to come back to the shelter and we purr that she finds another home soon.
we are sorry she had to come back under such sad circumstances (though this is why we are so glad shelters have that policy). she looks very sweet and hopefully another home will come along quickly
How sad that Vine and her human have had to part. We hope so much that Vine will find a new and loving home very soon and also that her human will be kept up to date with Vine by the cattery or more hopefully by her new loving family.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

That's so sad when someone has to give up a beloved pet due to age/illness. I'm so glad Vine has a safe place to go back to, and hope she finds another home very soon.
Aw, so sad. I hope she finds a home soon. That sweet kitty certainly deserves it!

What a sweetheart. We are so sorry to hear about what she's been through and purring that someone scoops her up soon!
I feel very sad for both Vine and her human :-( Bright side is that she is at PAWS with wonderful volunteers, being cared and loved. But I sure hope she finds her own forever home very soon xoxo
What a gorgeous sweetheart, but a sad story for both dear Vine and her human...Purring and praying for precious Vine to find another home full of love for her!...Happy weekend, dear friends...xoxo...J, Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
Oh Vine, we imagine you must miss your human terribly. We sure hope someone comes for you soon!
It's sad when old friends come back to the shelter. We are sorry about her human. We hope she finds a second loving home where she can spend the rest of her years.
Sweet Vine, you are back with the friends who will do all they can to find you another perfect home!
Oh sweet sweet Vine be assured that your friends at PAWS will do their best to find your another furever home. We purr.
Emma and Buster
That poor sweettie. We sure hope she gets a loving home again real quick like.
just shared this gorgeous girl, praying she finds a new furever home equally as good...that's so sad xoxo
That is sad for Vine and her human. I hope she gets her home very soon.
I hate when this happens but she's in good hands and I hope it's a very short time before her forever home arrives.
Hope she gets the lovely home she deserves.
We will be there tomorrow to pick her up - my wife and sons just agreed!!
How sad for Vine and her human. Her human must be heartbroken to have had to let her go. We fervently hope a loving, forever family will see how special a kitty she is and bring her home for one last and final forever. :)
the critters in the cottage xo
That is so sad. I wish I could take her.
It's so sad when animals return to the shelter, but there are circumstances where it's unavoidable. Vine looks like a sweetheart. Hope she gets a great new home soon.
Oh dear Vine. Glad for one thing, if you had to find another home, that you came back to PAWS and not somewhere else. Hope that T. Ellis and you are a good match. Purrz, Katie Kat.
She looks very sweet. I hope she can find another good home.
What a sweetie… I love how you all recognized each other, although it makes me so sad too….
THANK YOU for adopting this super special and much loved kitty. We all love Vine so much, and were over the moon when we found out she was being adopted by a loving forever family. Please send updates and photos, okay? :)
Vine seems like a perfect kitty for people to adopt. I would do it myself if I lived closer. Sometimes people shy away from "Senior" cats. At only 13 Vine may have many more years of life to live. The last cat I adopted lived past her 25th birthday. I hope Vine finds her final permanent home very soon as losing another home & owner is so stressful for these older cats..
Oh... precious darling... I do hope Vine finds a furever home again soon.
We are sad to hear that Vine lost her forever home but are glad she is back at PAWS where she will be so loved and cared for. How wonderful that you can now spend time with her again and she with you, that is special. Purrs to her...
Sad that Vine's human had to give her up...but we're glad you're helping her find a new home for her senior years.
Oh beautiful Vine! I'm so sorry she is back--but I am also GRATEFUL that her human loved her so much that she gave her to PAWS to find her the purrfect furever home. Some wonderful person will take her and love her just the same. Purrs to you for keeping her safe and healthy while she waits...
YAY!!!!! Vine is such a loving kitty, I'm so happy she's already got a great home!
What a beautiful and sweet girl !
So sad to her that Vine´s human got ill and had to give her up :(
XOXO
