Hi, my name is Schooner. I’ve spent most of my 16 years in Noank, where I lived with my mom Barbara in a cozy house with a view of the water. Much of my day is spent sleeping in sunny spots and watching the boats go by in the river. At night is when my kitten energy comes back in full swing. I love playing with my catnip toys & exploring the porch, which I call my “catio.” I’ve spent the past year or so living with friends because my mom needed to move to the Fairview. But I wanted to wish her a very happy 90th birthday on June 26! And tell her I miss her and think of her all the time.

Happy Birthday, Barbara Servidio!!!

Love, Schooner
