Behavior Notes:

Sticky meowed during intake but allowed handling. When having his picture taken Sticky attempted to run away and hide. Sticky had diarrhea in his box during intake. Sticky scanned negative for a microchip.

A volunteer writes: Let me introduce you to the second of the Triplets of Belleville. Sticky was totally relaxed and like putty in my hands when I was petting her. She could be described as “Sticky,” but only in the way velcro is; she’ll hold the family together and make sure it’s all for one and one for all. Like her sister Jada, she’s grey and white, but her pewter coat is adorned with a perfect white star on her chest. They say good things come in three’s, and that’s never been truer than it is with Sticky and her two sweet sisters. One could not be sweeter than the other. You’ve heard of the phrase “Three Dog Night” (how Alaskans keep warm during the coldest of nights, and a great oldies song); well, life with the trio of Sticky, Jada, and Sandy would be a series of three-cat-nights that could lull the most hardcore insomniac into slumber. If you’ve found yourself a little blue or lonely, these ladies will rival any ritual or pill you could take. After 16 years with one owner, the bad news is that they have been dumped at a shelter; the good news, though, is that its staff and volunteers will try to move heaven and earth to find them a loving home together, and a person who deserves the joy they will bring. Come over to meet the triplets and tell everyone you know about them.
