Update: Poni finally finds a home!!

Poni (formerly Ponemah) was one of many cats surrendered at Leech Lake Legacy's first spay/neuter clinic in March, 2012. Poni came down to the cities along with 51 other animals who were surrendered. All were taken in by our partner, the Animal Humane Society. Even while Poni was up at the Leech Lake clinic there was concern regarding whether or not we would be able to help this beautiful boy. He was considered semi-feral and was simply NOT going to let anyone handle him. We decided, however, that we would bring him down to the cities and AHS was going to see if he would settle down a little. Unfortunately, Poni continued to be very fiesty and hissy and would not allow anyone to handle him. In the best interest of Poni, we reached out to another partner, Pet Haven Inc. of Minnesota, a foster-based rescue to see if they could take Poni. We are extremely grateful when Pet Haven left with Poni and one other wild, crazy, beautiful cat (Periwinkle, fka Pia).

Well, we got great news from the Cat Adoption Director at Pet Haven:

"Pet Haven placed Poni, a relatively unhandled lynx point siamese x from Leech Lake, in between the last show and this one.  We took him from AHS when he was too hissy to be on the adoption floor there. He came down with a flea borne disease after we got him that attacks the red blood cells and was treated for that, really enjoyed Deb's dogs (can't say that about the other cats!) and went to a home with a puppy.  It's going well."

Congratulations Poni on finding your new home!! And a HUGE thank you to Pet Haven for taking Poni into your foster program and for giving him the much needed time to learn that humans aren't all bad :)
