I saw a tiny, dirty kitten walking out of a barn in upstate New York, and he was heading right for me. I picked him up, he settled into my arms and looked in my eyes, and the rest is history! It turned out that his mother and three siblings all died, one by one, in tragic farm-related accidents, and Kady was the last one left. I went home to NJ without him that day, but couldn't get him out of my mind. I knew I couldn't leave him there, especially since he was clearly in need of medical attention. The following weekend I went back to the barn and brought Kady home (after asking permission, of course). Although he is FIV positive, you'd never know it. He's an awesome, energetic, loving, vocal and playful cat, and I thank God every day that I rescued him. He looks at me with such love and happiness, and he lays in my lap every chance he gets. I wouldn't trade him for the world!
