Poem for "Adoption Days"


I’m Here!!!    I’m Waiting!!!

© 2005 – Carol Notermann

Look at me!   See Me!!  It’s Adoption Day!

I’ve been brushed and made ready to hear someone say…

“I want this one, please this one, is cute as can be”

Oh someone please say these words about me.

It’s been a long time since I heard goodbye.

When left all alone, at a shelter to cry.

Then these people saw that I wanted a home

A mom or a dad, and some love all my own.

So at Town Cats Shelter, I’m cared for and more

And each day I am sure “Mom” will walk through the door.

I’m not the cute kitten - that everyone sees

What’s that I’ve heard about forests and trees?

I’m a grown cat that just needs a home of my own.

Someone special to love – before time has flown.

I’m here and I’m yearning to have you pick me.

Don’t walk on by - turn around and see me!

Black cats are LUCKY!

Did you know that black cats are lucky? They get a bad rap in this country, but the truth is that black cats have been viewed as luck bringers and guardians over many centuries and in many cultures.

Black cats and kittens are often not adopted due to superstitions. This should not be the case. Black cats are wonderful companions!

A Poem from the book 'The Tao of Meow' by Jacqueline Mutz

There stands a woman
so direct in her movement
a dance of caring,she comforts
the two and four legged
indiscriminately,
a whisker kiss, a nudge of love
showers her as she calls each kitty by name,
a mental repository of history and meaning
that lights the life of each cat
and mirrors the love
she feels for each and every
softness of four legged love.



- poem inspired by Rosi Mirko and her tireless work for the cats ~

Town Cats of Morgan Hill
408.779.5761

As Santa Clara County's only no-kill shelter and center, Town Cats of Morgan Hill Rescue is always in need of a few good people to help take care of their hundreds of friendly felines awaiting adoption. Many of the cats that come into the center are in need of socialization, so volunteers are more than welcome to come by for a few hours to pet and play with the kitties as they get ready for their new homes. (JF)

Care Deeply
Give Freely
Think Kindly
Act Gently
And be at peace with the earth.
