I Lost My Way in Sturgeon Bay - Can You Help Me?

This is my favorite perch at the shelter - atop a pet carrier in the vestibule where the sun first comes in every morning. There's so much going on after 7am when the staff people arrive to begin all the feeding and cleaning; I like to observe from a distance and decide when to say hello. I love being with people but must first assess the situation so my entrance is most appreciated!
I love my perch!
Hi, animal lovers. My name is JANET, and am what's called a "dilute calico" long-hair cat. As you can see, that translates into a vanilla/caramel/smoky gray mix that is really quite beautiful, if I say so myself. More than nine months ago, I lost my way in the City of Sturgeon Bay, and was brought to the shelter. No one knew where I belonged, nor did anyone call to say they had lost a great cat - that broke my heart. I’m only 2-4 years old, but somewhere in my short past, I had my front claws removed (quite painful at the time, by the way).
Here at the Humane Society, I'm what's known as a "lobby cat". I'm one of the free-roaming felines who get to be loose in the lobby so you know that they trust me to be good with other cats as well as the wonderful adults and kids who visit us. I look forward to those days because it's fun to meet new friends. Now I'm waiting for that special person that sees I'm the one they've been waiting to adopt. Of course, the new household must keep me indoors since I don't have any front claws so am very vulnerable to things that go bump in the night. Let's get to know each other soon!
Love, Janet
