| "Sir Anton, 8" Reminiscing The First Year With Him  |
| The First "Anton Encounter" At The Shelter The picture above was taken short before we left the shelter after waiting for sometime, almost giving up our intention to get him out of the shelter. It was only a matter of seconds that he popped his head up, as if saying: "Seriously??? You really want me to mess up with you, folks???" "THEN GET ME OUT OF HERE" That was the hitting point. After a walk around the park nearby the Animal Shelter, reckoning the pros and cons, we decided to pick him up the next day. As expected, coping up with his new family and home, Sir Anton was quite aloof and hid himself most of the time, and wheezed when approached, but as days passed by, he started to roam around in a cautious but gladdened manner. |

| Sir Anton At Ease |
It has been more than a year that Kota had passed. The year-mourning is over, and it is my pleasure to introduce Sir Anton, turning eight (8) in July this year.
Anton is from an Animal Shelter in Bremen, Germany. Only four (4) weeks after Kota`s heavenly exit, my friend and I thought life is not worthy without a cat, and so, he now takes over Kota's place. Surely, Kota still has a special place in our hearts that can never be replaced. Just like the other cats I had in the Philippines who, as time passed by, one after another vanished.
Sir Anton (the "Sir" we added to his original name, as to give it a unique and a personal touch coming in to his second family) was given up by his former family due to illness. We learned that he had difficulties in the shelter, refused food, and easily got irritated when he is being approached by the shelter personnel.
He was there for four (4) months (November 2018 to 19 February 2019). His saddened face at the Animal Shelter's Website caught our attention, and yes, it was love at the first sight.
As we visited him at the shelter, we barely had seen him. We were told that he is quite aloof, and he hid most of the time, just getting out to get some food and water. At first, he was alone in a cage, refused to eat, and the shelter put him together with two (2) female cats in a spacious room, but he refused to get along with them. We were told though, that he regained his appetite and started to eat well. Later, as I saw him, I must mention that he was very well fed.

We (my friend and I) have Sir Anton since February 19, 2019. Giving him a second chance to get another family (us!) was the pick of the bunch of 2019! Please, dear readers of mine, give another creature a chance. Visit your next Animal Shelter soon! |
