I’m cuddly, I’m purry and I’m adorable...so how did I end up in this predicament?  My story is sad but it’s not unique - you see, my family lost its home due to unemployment and I had nowhere else to turn but SOAR.  My name is Gracie and I had been with them since I was a kitten.  I’m 5½-years-old now.  Even though I’m confused about being here, I am so friendly and will rub my head gratefully against your hand when you touch me.  Please let me show you what a wonderful companion I could be.
