24 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, November 3, 2011 Letter From Wingfield Farm Purchase tickets online using your smartphone: Archie's a hunk o' burning love "Archie" is a really handsome boy, approximately four-years-old and declawed. The pluses of Archie are many: Archie is easygoing; doesn't actively play or cuddle with the other cats but is very tolerant unless another cat is being aggressive towards him. Even then his first instinct is to move away from the situation. Archie seems okay with dogs, wary at first, but would probably be fine with a properly introduced canine. Archie enjoys the extra attention of being fussed over and brushed by kind, gentle children as he appreciates help with his grooming and loves being stroked. The first thing you notice about Archie is that he is a big boy weighing in at 24 lbs., definitely rotund, with his thick, plush coat and he will have to lose weight. Recent bloodwork confirms that he is healthy, not diabetic, but it should be noted that things could alter unless he loses weight. The confinement of shelter life means that the exercise he needs is just not available. Archie is smart and it is easy to see how he got to this size as he quickly figured out which room the "special EXTRA delicious food" comes from and tends to park himself in that room during his out of cage time. When staff enter he'll look up at them piteously with his big green eyes and meows his surprisingly soft and gentle Witness the hilarious tale of one man's attempt to embrace a less complicated world, as he leaves his fast-paced job and trades his pin-striped suit for overalls and a 100-acre farm.

But trade food for love and he's really just as happy. In his new home, until he is more streamlined, he should have more than one litter box, because the reason for being surrendered was that he was urinating outside the litter box. In the months he has been at the shelter we have not seen this but he doesn't have far to go to eliminate. Archie positively glows with decency, he is still attractive, even though emulating a raccoon, as he rolled and rolled to have his belly rubbed. There is just something about Archie that immediately draws you in. I was "putty " in his hands.
