Yes, my fellow freecyclers, I may be a day late (having taken advantage of yesterday’s semi-dry weather to get some lawn mowing done), but luckily, I’m not an animal short. This week’s featured adoptable is Aggie, a beautiful-on-the-inside-as-well-as-the-outside, special needs, senior cat in need of a second forever home.
She’s currently staying with The Pet Connection in Mission, Kansas; here’s what her foster people have to say about Ms. Aggie:

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”.
