Carina Pologruto and her beautiful cat Hemi exemplify our mission at One More Smith. A consistent contributor and successful adopter, Carina gave a second chance to an animal that due to deformity would have been destroyed. Here is how Carina describes their life together today since adopting Hemi on June 6, 2010.

“Hemi is polydactyl with five extra toes in total, so I named him for Ernest Hemingway, who took in polydactyl cats. Hemi is a whirlwind of energy, love, and paws. He’s as adventurous as he was the day I picked him up from OMS. He’s never afraid of new people and marches right up to them to see just who has walked into his house. He’s a problem solver who has learned to pick up pens and pencils with his extra toes. He even makes tiny furry fists and knocks on doors! He also has a hidden talent of tightrope walking (AKA the metal banister of my stairs).”

After two months of passing it around, we’re happy to report that we are down to only five cats in our isolation room, and Tangerine has been released back into general population!

One More Smith wishes our supporters a wonderful Passover and Easter, may this holiday time be a special one surrounded by family and loved ones. We thank you for your continued support, as we are thankful for the care we are able to provide the animals at our sanctuary. Please continue to think of us and spread the word!!

We’re working hard to eradicate the upper respiratory virus circulating at OMS…Tangerine and Nemo have been fighting it for over two months now! We’ve tried Orbax and Convenia, separately AND together!

We are mourning the loss of Sammy “Sad Face,” a four year resident of OMS. Although elderly and somewhat sickly, Sammy lived a safe and comfortable life, quite different from the hoarding situation he came from. We miss you already, Sammy! Rest in peace.
