I volunteer with <A HREF="http://www.angelswish.org" REL="nofollow">Angel's Wish</A> (Verona, WI), a foster-home based animal welfare organization. One day I was looking through our <A HREF="http://www.petfinder.com" REL="nofollow">Petfinder.com listings</A>, and there I saw "Snowball"...a special needs senior. I knew she needed us, so I made the arrangements and visited her in her foster home. There, we learned her sad story. She had been at a humane society for nearly a year, after arriving as a stray at an estimated 19 years old. They didn't notice she had severely infected teeth, and she had stopped eating because of it. Angel's Wish pulled her and another needy cat from the humane society. The next day, she had several teeth removed, and her foster parents began giving her IV fluids and baby food to help her gain her strength back. This little 5 pound cat was so fragile and weak...she sure tugged on the heartstrings! About a week later, Snowball came to our house and was renamed Gracie. It took a couple months of spoiling, yummy premium food, and long kitty naps in a heated bed for her to completely recover, but when she did, watch out! Gracie was full of personality and quickly ruled the roost. We were humbled at how happy and healthy she was. Seniors deserve to live out their lives with happiness, love, peace, and dignity, and Grace did for almost three years with us. I am thankful we could give her a warm retirement home, and when we were ready, we brought home another needy senior cat. We're now hooked on seniors!<BR/><BR/>If chosen, I will donate the book and catnip toy to our <A HREF="http://angelswish.cmarket.com" REL="nofollow"> Angel's Wish Online Auction</A> that raises funds for our homeless pets.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781971456128614368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531452765602923639.post-20989135654248036642008-10-22T12:55:00.000-04:002008-10-22T12:55:00.000-04:00My six-year-old niece Bri, Nicki's little cousin w...My six-year-old niece Bri, Nicki's little cousin who was in Nicki's wedding in NH, has two Siamese cats: Sweetie Pie and Pumpkin Pie.<BR/><BR/>She sooo loves them, though they often scratch her when she is over-zealous, but forgives them everytime. <BR/><BR/>Saturday Bri and her mother took them to Petco, where the pets go, to get shots. Oh, my niece really feels sad when her beloved kitties must get shots, seeing how SHE hates pain. <BR/><BR/>I was shopping with Bri on Sunday. She bought two tiny cans of cat food. She announced it was to give them a prize for being so brave at the vets!<BR/><BR/>Little Bri would love to win your prizes for being such a pet lover and for the chance to give her kitties more presents.<BR/>Auntie Lisa in NHNella Masilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829542135750998229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531452765602923639.post-28305453979796269082008-10-21T18:32:00.000-04:002008-10-21T18:32:00.000-04:00Your blog is adorable!

She also likes to puke in unsuspecting places, like my shoe or under the couch, that I find far, far too late.Flirtini and Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044365435455184406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531452765602923639.post-25397048838364911422008-10-21T17:39:00.000-04:002008-10-21T17:39:00.000-04:00I have a few cats but my oldest cat Lily is sick r...I have a few cats but my oldest cat Lily is sick right now.She got attacked by a stray dog.Lily is at least 15 and I love her like she were a sister.I have read lots of Chicken Soup books and so many of the stories stand out in my mind.Hope to win this one.Mistress Meeyeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093627956302299212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531452765602923639.post-33466473253566170172008-10-21T13:51:00.000-04:002008-10-21T13:51:00.000-04:00My cat is extraordingary.He knows me and my every ...My cat is extraordingary.<BR/><BR/>He knows me and my every mood.<BR/><BR/>When I don't feel well he comes and strokes my face with his paw.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes he looks at me with love and adoration in his eyes.<BR/><BR/>I found him when he was a little starving kitten.<BR/><BR/>I was out walking my dog and he came up to us.<BR/><BR/>He was skinny and scraggly when I picked him up.<BR/><BR/>I took him home with us and he has been here ever since, that day nine years ago.<BR/><BR/>Cats are amazing, they are loyal and very loving.<BR/><BR/>janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) comjanetfayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637713879242054105noreply@blogger.com
