HOLLAND, Mich. — You might remember Penny Graham, the 9-year-old in Holland who raised $750 for the Harbor Humane Society with her lemonade stand this summer.
When Penny's beloved rescue cat Max died this fall unexpectedly, she was heartbroken...leading her to ask Santa for a new cat this Christmas. You can see her request for a "living kitty" on her Christmas list.
Santa came through, big time. This is a video of Penny Christmas morning reading the letter Santa wrote her back:
He explains that he talked with her parents and asked them to accompany her to Harbor Humane Society to pick out her new furry friend.
Penny visited Harbor Humane Society on Tuesday and Luna Dorothy is now a member of the Graham family. She is named after Penny's favorite Harry Potter character, Luna Lovegood.
She is already right at home and so loved. Congratulations, Penny!
