Meet Saphron, this week’s Featured Adoptable! Saphron lives north of the city, in her temporary home at the Friends of Parkville Animal Shelter:

Meet Saphron, a beauty of a cat, looking for someone to take her in. Saphron was abandoned when her owners lost their house, but it was several months before a neighbor was able to catch her and bring her inside. By then she was emaciated and had frost bite on her ears and paw pads. Because of this, part of her ears have actually fallen off. But we think it only makes her even more cute. Saphron does not like other cats so would need to be in a home where she is the only pet. She is very stressed at the shelter, but the person who brought her in said that she was very well behaved and quite loving while staying at his house.

Saphron is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Saphron is a medium-sized, white, domestic short hair senior lady.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal companion.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
