Our story of survival and everlasting love by @katkay41

Our story of survival and everlasting love

 

 

 

We found our furever home when we were given to our hooman mom as her birthday present.

Gilbert baby

 I’m Gilbert, the Tabby, and my sisterfur tortie is Bella.

Bella as baby

Our mom was killed by a wild dog along with my other brothers and sisters.

A nice lady rescued us and gave us away in front of a supermarket.

We needed and missed mom but our hooman mom did a good job bottle feeding us till we got healthy and strong.

One extremely hot summer night mom went out for something she calls iced coffee.

There, in the parking lot she found Fluffy.

Fluffy

She was skin and bones.

She had been left abandoned with no way to fend for herself since she had been declawed.

She was at the brink of death with her little bones protruding from her skin.

We took her in and nursed her back to health.

Fluffy’s resilience and will to live made mom want to do something for neglected and abused animals.

She joined something called the ASPCA and ran her first half marathon in Los Angeles, CA to raise awareness to a cause very dear to us.

Bringing awareness

Here she is dressed as a cat as she crossed the finish line.

Crossing finish line

She’s so silly!

Mom found Fluffy and great furever home where she saved the life of a lady who’s husband was dying of cancer.

Fluffy made his last days so happy.

Mom knew she had a purpose in life, as we all do.

When he passed away, Fluffy’s new mom said she would have never made it without her.

Fluffy gave the lady a will and reason to live.

Something to look forward to every day.

Not shortly after Fluffy found her new home Lucy came into our lives.

Lucy

Mom was asleep when she received a call from our neighbor who had been walking their dog telling her that he had seen a van pull up to our street, open the door, kiss the kitten, said “I love you”, drop her off in the middle of the street and drove off.

We were outraged.

Mom got Lucy who was in shock.

We felt bad for her.

She cried all night looking out the window toward the spot where she had been abandoned.

With lots of love and encouragement Lucy has settle herself in our furever home very nicely.

I’m still the boss around here and I love my sisterfurs.

We hope that our story of survival inspire other to rescue and care for their pets.

We remember our trials and tribulations.

We have strong spirits.

We trust that hoomans could look into our eyes and see our soul, our kindness and our everlasting love for them!

Gilbert and Bella

I’m teary eyed while I read this. I just don’t understand how people can be so cruel. I’m so glad that you were able to nurse these babies back to health. Cats have a lot of love to give.

We can never understand the mind of some people but as long as you saved them….I too once had kittens in our back yard. I would lay out food and milk but they would never come near it and just left….all pets no matter what they are .. are full of love!! Cute kitties!! xx

What a beautiful person you are, to choose to reach out when so many others had looked the other way. My heart is full as I read this story. It’s both sad at the thought of people treating pets as something ‘disposable ‘, and, it is full of hope, and, admiration for you. Those kitties were blessed to have been found by you. Much love to you
