AJAX white cat playing at the animal shelter ***Adopted*** UPDATE

UPDATE: I am absolutely THRILLED to report that AJAX was adopted on July 22, 2008 by a wonderful person who saw how very special a cat AJAX is and she decided to give him (and Elmer his friend the orange kitten) a Forever Home. For our YOUTUBE friends who have been following the story of AJAX here is a quick summary: AJAX came to our NO-KILL shelter in JANUARY 2008. He always had a very pleasant disposition, sweet, playful, loves human contact, can be held, loves all other cats and he is a marvelous all white beauty. A truely stunning cat, we don't often have all white cats at Noah's Kingdom and with his wonderful personality we figured he would be adopted within a few short weeks. However, weeks passed by. Other cats got adopted. New cats came and went. Ajax stayed. He remained in his cage (as all our cats do) for most of the day with the exception of the mornings and evenings when we volunteers were there to feed and care for him. Yet, dispite the fact that weeks and then months passed by, AJAX never grew angry at us humans. He never became bitter. He never lost faith. He just waited and waited and waited some more. One month turned to 2, and then 3 and 4. Surely he would soon find a home. By by June it was KITTEN season and at shelters world wide it sometimes seems that people forget about the plight of adult cats like AJAX and they are just interested in kittens. Again, it never seemed that AJAX lost his faith in humanity. He would greet us each visit and continue to be a perfectly adjusted sweet, playful cat. By July I was just cosumed by thoughts of this beautiful cat sitting in a cage for HALF a YEAR. Again I posted videos, volunteers continued to do all they could do, including putting an advertisement inthe newspaper. And then it happenned...A woman came in and asked about the white cat named AJAX. Over 6 months that he was at the shelter a lot of people have looked at AJAX but something this time was diffrent. She KNEW he was the right cat for her and completed the Adoption Paperwork for AJAX. He was adopted. BUT wait......she had one last question for us: what about he 4 month old orange kitten that AJAX was very good freinds with? Would AJAX be happier if he could take along his little kitten friend? If you didn't believe in MIRACLES you should by now! YES AJAX got adopted and his little buddy the orange kitten was adopted too! We are very happy and this is one small example of the importance of never giving up hope! These are the moments that remind us of why we VOLUNTEER.
This is another video of beautiful Ajax taken May 2008. He is just a perfect cat and I was certain he would have been adopted the first week he arrived at the shelter ---yet he is still here! I think he is simply the cutest kitty and he has a very nice personality. Please consider adopting this cute all white cat! Noah's Kingdom Humane Society is an all VOLUNTEER, not for profit organization dedicated to animal rescue, adoption and ending animal overpopulation. The cats and dogs we have for adoption are rescued from traditional shelters where they may have been euthanized. In addition, we also aquire cats and dogs from a variety of rescue situations. We proudly are a NO-KILL shelter. Thanks for viewing our site.

Thank you for your work. You are right. Kittens are the ones to get placed and the older cats sometimes give up hope. Good for Ajax!!! I worked with a feral colony and many 'went tame' on their own. That was so sad, so I went into the 'Rescue' business. I am lucky many of the cats in the colony were small. The first question was "does it look like a kitten?" If so, the agency took them immediately for placement. Thank everyone who adopts a rescue cat! They will love you for life!!!

wow very beautiful cat

[Biodham]

WOW! What a gorgeous cat he is! He looks like my cat Snowball (except he's bigger). That's wonderful that he got adopted. I keep hearing how adult cats have a much more difficult time getting adopted compared to kittens. Which is sad...

The thing is, adult cats are actually more easy going and easier to become companions with than kittens since you have have to start from scratch with a kitten with all their rambunctiousness.

I'm pretty sure you just had to say he loves food. He certainly doesn't skip a meal.

Rescue an adult cat!
