Mommy here!
In honor of her Gotcha Day I thought it might be fun to share her PetFinder profile. I actually met her "in the fur" at the PetSmart adoption center before I went home and looked her up on PetFinder, which I'm really glad about because I don't think the posted pictures did her justice at all.
And yes, her name at the shelter was Kelly. My mom is the one who suggested naming her Tara because of our mutual love of Gone With the Wind...
Kelly
Cat
Dilute Tortoiseshell Mix
Size: Large
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Notes: Kelly is a beautiful short haired cat with a sweet personality. As you can see from her pictures, the coloring on her face is half black and half brown and is divided at the nose. She is a pretty big girl who loves to sleep (even in her litter box if it is clean). Kelly would like a home where she has a big bed to curl up on and a person to give her attention. Kelly sleeps through most anything except when another cat goes by her cage, for this she will even get up and tell the other cat to back off. Because of this Kelly needs to be the only cat in the household.

What has come to amaze me is how much of Tara I see in Mudpie. Many times I even refer to Tara as Mudpie's "grandma" even though there's no way they could possibly be biologically related. They're built the same, diabetic (even though Mudpie is thankfully still in remission), they react the same to other cats, their coat is the same...so many similarities.
Tara was a middle-aged ladycat when I adopted her so we didn't have a lot of years together, but the memories she left behind will remain with me for the rest of my days.

What a beauty she was. I imagine it was lovely having her with you for as long as you did. And I like the name Tara. I have watched that movie several times in my life and it always amazes me. And I think our cats amaze us too.
Happy Heavenly Gotchaversary, Angel Tara!
"Ashley, ooh, Ashley!"

Happy Gotcha Day, beautiful Angel Tara! What a jackpot you both hit on this day in 2007.
Sending you hugs as you remember your Angel Tara. XO
Happy gotcha day at the Bridge, Angel Tara. And purrs to you, Mom Melissa, as you remember your beloved angel.
What beautiful memories. You gave her a wonderful life.
I did not know that you met Tara at PetSmart! That's where I met my Carmine! I didn't go home and look him up, though. I just filled out an application right then and there because he said he was mine. First time I'd ever heard a cat say that so I thought I better pay attention :P
You know.....Mudpie could be Tara reincarnated ;) We think Gabriel is either Carmine reincarnated or very closely related to his energy. Pets do come back for us sometimes <3
Tara was such a beauty! Happy heavenly gotcha day to her.
