The handwritten note was sweet, and a little sad too. Signed, “Allergic Admirer,” it was addressed to a diabetic shelter cat named Simba, from someone who wanted to adopt him, but could not for health reasons of her own.
“I am writing to you on behalf of my sister who saw a story about you in a local newspaper,” the hand written note reads. “She wanted me to tell you that she thinks you are the HANDSOMEST cat she has ever seen. She fell in love immediately with your golden eyes and your beautiful fur coat. When she read you are diabetic, she wished so much that she could give you a home because she too is diabetic.”
Simba really is handsome, with a very laid-back personality. He’s pretty much the ideal cat, but he does need daily insulin injections.The note and Simba’s photo and a video of him were posted on the Facebook page of the Oregon Humane Society.
“Unfortunately she is very allergic to cats, so she can’t have a kitty of her own, but she wanted me to let you know that she is your admirer from afar. We hope that your fantastic caretakers show you the front of this card, and read to you the praise from your devotee and hopefully, friend. With Affection, Allergic Admirer. P.S. We both hope you find your perfect home soon! Wishing you a long and happy love-filled life. A.A.”
