Rosie the cat, born in 2013, found herself at Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter in Arlington, Washington after her first two adoptive families returned her. It was important that Rosie was placed in the care of someone who understood her “cattitude” and had the patience for her need for time to adjust.
Life at the shelter made Rosie unhappy and grumpy – so much so that several days into her third (and final) stay at the shelter, she took matters into her own paws. Resolving to find her forever home, Rosie stood on her hind feet pawed at the glass on her cage as people walked past.
Little did Rosie know, she’d already caught the eye of a sweet couple who’d asked about her earlier in the week and stopped by the shelter to see her. Ron surprised his wife, Betty, by suggesting that they take Rosie home. The couple had lost a cat due to cancer a few years earlier and hadn’t owned one since. Rosie was a perfect fit for the couple, who had no young children in the home and only planned to have one pet.
Rosie’s story is a reminder that there’s a perfect match for every shelter animal in need of a forever home!
What’s New…
This is so wonderful. Great job Rosie!!!!
People!!! So this will be the 3rd time. I hope it will be the last. People are just typical. Self centered, selfish and inconsiderate. Just think of themselves, never mind the poor animals feelings. It’s a piece of furniture you’re buying assholes!!!
So many videos I cannot see? Upsetting.
how come I can’t see the video 🙁 ?
It is so wonderful when lovely things happen and forever homes are found.
Love the word “cattitude”.
I am so glad that Rosie has found a loving forever home. Every animal desrves a loving forever home.
I used to be suggested thius webb page by meanss of my cousin. I am no longer
certain no matter whether this publish is written by way of him as nobody else figure
out such distinct approximately my problem. You’re remarkable!
Thank you!
Thank you for appreciating this cute kitty’s personality. We all have our idiosyncrasies. And we all (kitties included) have a right to be ourselves.
Each cat is special and should be appreciated.
I like your ‘attitude’ 🙂
Thank goodness for the Angels that saved her. We need more people in this world like that. I LOVE happy stories. 🙂
A big Thank You to Thorngreen Fosters and Purrfect Pals, for not giving up on Rosie
Thank you to the people who gave Rosie the home she deserves.
Rosie is the twin of our cat Kewpie, another cat with cat-i-tude 🙂 And we love her just as she is <3
I didn't get the video here or through the link, so if you would like to see Rosie on YouTube:

Máme kočičky všechny z ulice, milujeme je, bez nich by bylo smutno, nadále budeme brát další a další a všem pomáhat i těm, které nejsou naše S kočičkami je moc dobře, berte si je z útulků i venkovní osamělé, kastrujte.
Way to go, girl!
This is such a wonderful story and I pray that Rosie has found her forever home. We had a female cat, that had Rosie’s “cattitude” and sass, for 18 1/2 years. She was very independent but always enjoyed being petted and brushed. We acquired her sister two weeks later who seemed just as independent but without the “cattitde”. She was with us for 18 years until she passed from kidney failure and six months later, the first cat passed in her sleep of a stroke. They brought us many years of laughter and comfort. I know Rosie will do the same for this sweet and loving couple who chose her as their family addition. May God bless you both immensely for your heroic act of saving an animal.
Je suis content que tout se passe bien pour ce loulou ? ? ? ? ? ? ? soit heureux très longtemps
Praise God!
Finally, a good news story! Go Rosie and live the good life that Ron and Betty would like to give you.
Who expects perfect behavior from animals — in particular, cats! — Returned TWICE? — I don’t get it! — Thank God this beautiful couple will allow Rosie to feel free to be herself — Thank you for adopting her! — You did GOOD!
I have a ‘Rosie’ named Chance who looks just like her. I adopted him at the Maui Humane Society, he was 5-1/2 yrs old, and brought him home to join my other two cats whom I rescued in Honolulu and brought to Maui. My 3 cats are close in age, Chance is the eldest cat I adopted. He is bossy, greedy, affectionate, clever, and demanding. He’s a handful! My other two are easy going, normal, and happy to b inside. Chance demands an outing daily by climbing high up the screen door. He’ll do anything to get out and always comes home in a few hours to be let back in where the food is. He sleeps on my bed because ‘he owns me’. He languished for 5 mos in Maui Humane Society before I saw him. Thank God MHS does not euthanize unless it is necessary for the animal’s welfare.
???? You did it Rosie!!
So good to hear a positive story and that people who knew they were not compatible with the cat had a shelter to bring her to and didn’t just throw her out of their home like my daughter in law does which breaks my heart.
Yes, so much better to return an animal to its SHELTER. B. Maurene W., I’m sorry you have had to deal with the abandonment of pets within your family. Perhaps let her know that you would like to take the pet (to the shelter)?
As for Rosie, Congratulations!
Rosie Ur So Beautiful ? & smart.good luck to In new for everloving home ?God bless u ??????
