We had recently lost our cat of eighteen and a half years to hyper thyroid. My husband
mentioned going to PetSmart to look at the cats. Reluctantly I went & was still feeling
numb inside. Most were kittens, but at the very last cage...there were these beautiful huge copper eyes staring at me, they belonged to a sad Persian. I was told that he was rescued from breeders, he had to be shaved due to neglect of grooming. I knew I had to have him. We adopted him & it was the best two and a half years, he was a silly, little clown, loved to carry his toy mouse around in his mouth. Sadly Andy developed a cancerous tumor on his hind leg (He was only three). Even with amputation & chemotherapy, the cancer was agressive and we lost him. We later rescued another cat (Jericho) & I now volunteer at Lifeline Animal Placement & Protection, not only do I have Jericho, I also get to take care of approx. 135 cats each with their own story.
Some have leukemia, some are FIV, others have amputations, one eye, one ear - all with
lots of love to give. Rescue animals are the best & have so much love & gratitude. I highly recommend adopting one.
