Angela N. from Michigan, who adopted blind Herbie last month, just emailed me some photos of the lovebug in his new home with his new friends. Angela wrote, "He is so funny – you would hardly know he can’t see – he always seems like he is looking at things! He runs up and down the stairs playing with our other cat and chasing his cat toys! The cats are great pals."
Thank you again for adopting this beautiful boy, Angela!
I am so happy for Herbie! Thank goodness she has now got a home and lots of new friends!:)

Greetings Steve. Now I know why I have not received any mail from you. I am sure your new place is a blessing for you, your staff and the Animals.

What a GREAT first picture; I'm so happy Herbie has playmates; dog, feline and slave (that would be cat talk for human, of course!)
Thanks, Angela, these photos and the thoughts of Happy Herbie will make this week shine for me!

Would someone please explain to me why/how is it that BLIND Herbie is looking out of the window with his new cat pal????!!! I've looked at that photo for two days. Is the window open and he's responding to something he hears or smells?? Is his pal "telling" him what's out there??
Great shot Angela! Thanks.

It is so great to see Herbie fit right into a family with another cat and a dog. Love the first picture. Thanks to Angela for the updates and I hope she continues to send them periodically. It is great to see the little love bug in a home setting.

I'm SO GLAD he's in such a great new home! I kept telling my husband I was going to bring him HERE, but he kept telling me the four we have are enough... so HE is very happy to see this as well!!
I hope Angela will keep sending - and you will keep sharing - updates on him!!
