In June of this year a longtime Kelseyville High School teacher, Mary Pat Adams, passed away unexpectedly after battling a long illness.

Mary Pat had no family here. She left behind her dear kitty, Black Bart. Her dogs were dealt with but I don't think anyone knew about her cat.

After weeks of looking for him as I drove by the house, I saw him at the end of June, starving, wounded, very sick and extremely weak.

I have been stopping by his house mornings and evenings to feed him and give him a little attention. He is fat and happy again and doing very well. I am hoping there is someone out there who will give him the love he needs.

Black Bart is an older male, neutered and very friendly. He clearly misses his mom and I am hoping there is someone out there who will adopt him.

Please call me if you have any questions or would like to meet him.
