Adorable, Adoptable Pets: Cruz Is ‘a Work of Art’
- KCAC’s Adorable, Adoptable Pet of the Week is written by Tecla Metzel of Kane County Animal Control.
“Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.”
— Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
Cruz is the grande dame of Kane County Animal Control’s free-roaming cat room. But while she bears the countenance of a queen posing for her portrait, she yearns for the day when she can lounge and nap while in the care of her forever family.
Cruz arrived at KCAC in August of last year as a very underweight stray. The shelter staff has helped her get to and maintain a healthy weight. They believe she is about 16 years old, although her age hasn’t held her back from keeping the younger cats in line.
She is a sweet lady who enjoys lots of petting and snuggling and overall is very low maintenance. With a bit of arthritis, she will need to find a home where she doesn’t need to climb a lot of stairs.
If Cruz could talk, she would tell you that she still has a lot more love to give and is patiently waiting for that special family to take her home.
