The Dying Wish of a Giving Soul

Vivi Jones, a volunteer at the animal shelter, died of breast cancer, leaving four cats in need of homes.

Vivi Jones was a Seal Beach Animal Care Center volunteer. She worked the bake sales and the Reception Desk, but she lost a yearlong battle with cancer on August 10, leaving her four cats behind. These were literally her only children, and her foremost and last wish was for them to find homes to live out their lives after she was gone.

Her brother Mark promised Vivi he would oversee this effort - not an easy task, as three of the 4 cats are at least 14-years-old. But they are in good health and beautiful. They are all declawed, indoor cats and up to date with their shots and medical care.

Please spread the word that these cats need homes.  They are used to being with other cats (Vivi had nine at one time!) and would be perfect companions for seniors, or anyone living in a quiet home. The youngest, Misty, is only 4-years-old and still playful and active.
