Scruffernutter

When most people meet Scruffernutter, they have a hard time understanding how the pure-white, longhaired domestic could've earned the nickname "Scruffy." But the fluffy feline wasn't always so pristine. Before Deena Forcier and her husband adopted Scruffernutter, she had seen some troubled times. "She had a very rough upbringing," said Deena. "She was found next to garbage cans and she was pretty beat up." According to Deena, the now healthy cat was emaciated, she was missing teeth, her fur was in knots and she smelled terribly.

Although the once scruffy kitty made a full recovery, the name "Scruffernutter" stuck, and proved to be a fit in other ways. "She's a nut," said Deena. "She'll come jetting into the room, run in circles and dart right back out. She's energetic and very playful."

Deena was glad to see Scruffernutter recuperate and does everything in her power to ensure that she, and her other pets, remain healthy. "It's important to me that they are insured because you never know what is going to happen," said Deena. "I never want to be in a position where I can't take care of them."
