CAT FANCY MAGAZINE Two summers ago, a tour guide from the Shriver House Museum was walking near the battlefield when she heard a faint cry. She followed the sound and found a small gray tabby kitten in the shrubs on the side of the road. The kitten was so small she could fit into the palm of one hand and quite grateful to find someone who would take her home and feed her. A visit to the Shriver House in an attempt to find someone to adopt the furry feline resulted in a new home as the resident museum shop cat. A friend to everyone who walked in the door, she quickly became known as ‘Buddy.’ There are a number of frequent visitors who return again and again, not to tour the Shrivers’ home, but to check in on Buddy. Kellie Gormly, a freelance writer from Pittsburgh, considers Gettysburg her second home. She stopped in the Shriver House Museum about a year ago and was smitten by our friendly tabby. Always looking for an interesting story, Kellie asked if she could write an article about her. Buddy is now famous as she is featured in the August issue of Cat Fancy Magazine. Meet Buddy and Kellie on Saturday, August 9, between 3 and 6pm. Kellie will be available to sign copies of the magazine. Buddy will be hand looking for treats.
