HOULTON, Maine — Abused, disfigured and abandoned. If anyone had good reason to have a massive chip on his tiny, furry shoulder, it’s Emerson the cat.

Instead, the 10-year-old unofficial mascot at the Houlton Humane Society is devoting all of his remaining lives to spreading love and joy as he greets everyone walking through the shelter’s front door.

Emerson is not like other cats, having suffered serious damage to his spinal cord and a snapped neck, according to his owner and Houlton Humane Society Executive Director Heather Miller.

Those injuries left him without the use of his back legs, the inability to urinate and chronic issues affecting his ability to eat and drink on his own.
