ATTENTION ANIMAL LOVERS: As you may already know, Natalie McCracken (former BUWG president) passed away last fall. Her children are looking for a forever home for her two cats, Stayzi and Cookie. If you or someone you know is interested, please let us know in the comments below and we will put you in touch with Natalie's son, Harry.

Here's some information Harry provided on Stayzi and Cookie:

Stayzi turned 12 in December and was my parents' cat from kittenhood, along with his late sister Helen. He's a really large, rather muscular short-haired snow-white cat. He's a gentle soul who loves affection and loves to hang out alongside anyone who's sitting on the sofa. He looks like he could get work in a Sigfried and Roy show, but he's as even-tempered and genial a cat as I've known.

Cookie was a newer arrival to my mother's household, about three years ago, I think; I'm not sure how old he is, but I imagine he's an older gentleman. He's a long hair with black fur and white accents; a bit of a character and very vocal. Also a good-natured soul. The two of them get along well with each other and with people.

Both were devoted to my mother (they liked to hop on her rollator for rides) and are family to us, so we care a lot about finding a good home for them.
