Amelia Island is the northernmost barrier island on the east coast of Florida, by Jacksonville. Omni-Amelia Island Plantation is a "green" resort and is a beautiful place to lead nature tours,where you never know what we'll come across.We also receive animals that have been injured or abandoned and are charged with ensuring they get the care they need.

Henry takes a shift as office manager

Last month, a sweet gray cat was found by the Inn. Christina was able to pick him up and brought him back to the nature center. We took him to the vet, turns out he was already neutered and in perfect health! We're not sure where he came from, but he loves people.

After a couple of days he'd made himself right at home in Christina's office. He even started taking calls while sitting in the office chair. As you can see in the photo, he had the bad habit of not listening to callers. You'd think we'd learn by now that cats are not the best office managers (see previous posts). Sleeping about 20 hours a day doesn't help. We named him Henry, but nooone came to claim him.

Not to worry, though...we quickly found a home for this soft and handsome fellow. Amanda Clark (one of our naturalists) took him up to Georgia to live with her mom! Once again, he took no time to make himself right at home. Makeup artist? Once again, sleeping on the job. Oh well....Amanda's mom already adores him!
