HORIZON:

Horizon came to Maine Coon Adoptions in May 2007 from the Santa Maria shelter. He hid under blankets at the shelter and did that at my foster home as well — it was funny: during the day he would sit on the chair under the blanket and then come 5:00 pm, would pop out for dinner and then sit around for the evening on the chair or desk (not under the blanket!), surveying the scene. In the morning, I would find him under the blanket again…

Horizon was about eight years old when he came to us and had a very sweet and dear spirit. He loved to sit next to me on the chair when we watched a movie. He would purr and purr, head butt and love. A wonderful boy.

He had a very aggressive mouth cancer. We will see him again on the other side, healed and healthy, purring, happy, and sweet as ever.
