Harry Stuart’s second chance at life has brought love to him and happiness to many.
Harry is a formerly obese, 15-year-old cat with no teeth.
At one point, it may have seemed like life was over for Harry. After 14 years, his owner died and he was surrendered to JJ’s Helping Paws shelter in Cañon City.
There are many animals in Harry’s same situation, but something about Harry made the shelter workers want more for him.
Holly Holden, a Summit County local and the person who gave Harry his second chance at life with a loving owner, said a shelter worker at JJ’s Helping Paws recognized something different about Harry that told her he deserved more.
The Summit County shelter took Harry in just in time for Holden to find him.
Coincidentally, at the same time last summer, Holden was looking to adopt another pet. She has already adopted three shelter dogs in the past, all of which had become therapy animals.
Not expecting much, Holden said she went to the Summit County shelter wanting to explore her options and meet the cats. So, she brought her knitting with her, plopped down, and figured she would get to know a cat or two with no commitment to bring one home.
As she sat there, a cat shyly, gently placed his paw on her arm and left it there. That cat was Harry.
