were available for adoption through the Perry Animal
Shelter. She immediately spotted our gray cat. That’s all
it took. She told me the story as to why “gray”. Sharon’s
Mother, Winnie Sordian, loves cats. She recently lost her
gray cat “Smokey” to feline leukemia. Sharon filled out
the adoption paper work but could not take him home but
would pick him up on Wednesday. Well, that baby did not
go back to the shelter to wait for his new Mom to come and
get him, he came home with me.
Rather than meet Sharon some where to hand over
the cat, I asked if I could join her in her surprise for her
Mother. I did and what a moment!
Ms. Sordian lives at the Antebellum Grove in Warner
Robins. Sharon opened the door to her Mother’s room.
Ms. Sordian looked at Sharon, looked at me and then the
cat carrier. Her eyes spoke for the moment. Sharon took
the cat out of the carrier and handed him to her Mother.
Ms. Sordian looked at Sharon and said “Smokey”.
1 didn’t stay too long, this was a special time for Sharon
and her Mother. But while I was there, I did find out Ms.
Sordian is originally from Germany. She still has her
beautiful accent. She lived in Charleston for 30 years. She
moved to Warner Robins about a month ago. Welcome to
Georgia Ms. Sordian. Thank you, Sharon, for sharing your
surprise. It is days like this that makes what I do worth
it.
Not all “Pet Gifting” goes this well. I spoke with a man
this week that was looking for a home for his 7 month old
Labrador. The puppy was a gift that was a misunderstand
ing.
So please use caution if you are considering giving a kit
ten or puppy as a gift.
Cold weather is approaching. The Perry Animal Shelter
can use your old blankets, bed spreads, sheets and towels
to put down on the concrete floors to keep our dogs warm
at night. Did you know the “Friends of the Perry Animal
Shelter” is a 501(c) 3 non-profit Georgia corporation? Go

and goals.

I see cats and dogs get a new life
time home on a day to day basis.
What I don’t see is the end results.
I don’t see the family and their new
member interact or it’s new environ

leaves me wondering, especially for
those kittens I have fostered.

I got the opportunity to see the end
