16 – WESTMOUNT INDEPENDENT – <strong>May</strong> <strong>24</strong>-25, 2011Vanilla – not plain at all9 LivesLysanne FowlerExquisite – that is my first impressionof Vanilla. How could we not be fascinatedby her wonderful long and silky calicocoat, with its beautiful shades of black,brown and rust?Simply stunning. Yet, she is a sweetlysensitive beauty. Vanilla was abandoned atthe SPCA Montérégie shelter, and she wasso miserable at being left there that shestopped eating and her weight plumetted.Vanilla was fortunate to have beenplaced in a foster home, where she hassince improved in health and confidence.She is now ready for a forever home andwe are bringing her to your attention becauseshe is quite an affectionate and joyfulcat, who will enjoy bonding to a specialperson.She is around two years old and is quitehealthy (spayed, with all her shots). Shewas declawed on all four paws when shewas brought to the shelter, which makesher an indoor-only cat.If you would like more information onsweet Vanilla, please do not hesitate tocontact the SPCA Montérégie at514.704.3445 or email them at info@spcamonteregie.com.Thank you for helpingus find a home for her.VanillaComin’ UpWednesday, <strong>May</strong> 25• Replay the Beatles at Victoria Hall, 7 pm.Tickets: $20 in advance ($25 at the door).Info: 514.989.5226.• 20th Open Gate Gala at the ShaarHashomayim, 6 pm.
