How Kitty Found a Home!

This is Kitty... 

She has frequently shared her cat kingdom with Warrant and Linda during Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break. When she realizes that Linda and Warrant have left to return to college, she goes around the house crying for a few days and looks for them. After christmas break though, Kitty never fully recovered from losing her kitten friends. She is now more playful, and cuddly, she acts more like a kitten everyday. Kitty has a heart-warming story, of how she even came to find this household to live in. Here is her story:

Three years ago during a bad snow storm, my mom came home from work and mentioned to me that while at work at First Midwest Bank she could see a black small cat walking back and forth along the nearby fence. I have always wanted a cat, my sister and I used to put out milk to try and attract any stray cats. So I jumped at this opportunity, my dad said absolutely not, my mom said no, so I went and asked my grandpa who was living with us at the time, and he agreed to go with me. With my grandpa in tow, my mom decided she would go with. My mom insisted the cat was probably gone by now. However, I was able to see her walking along the fence. I got out and slowly went near her, but kept my distance not knowing how she would react to a human. She would not come close enough to me to pick her up, but she went into a cellar area and my grandpa was able to grab her. We went to the nearby restaurant and house to see if it was their cat, no one knew who this cat was. By time we found her and got her home it was dark out, so we went to bed and she spent the night with Grandpa in the basement.  The next morning I called the local vets, and the police department to report her missing. No one had any reports on her. I also took her to the vet and had them check her for a microchip, there was no microchip. Kitty seemed to already be litter box trained, she never had an accident outside of the litter box, and she would let us hold her. (The picture above on the left shows me holding her minutes after finding her.) She also had an eye that was fuzzed over. Days passed, and still no one had claimed the cat. She was now answering to "Kitty" as we would say come here kitty kitty. After a few weeks we decided it was time to look for a forever home for her. But the thought of getting rid of her, made my mom and I upset. 

Well now fast forward three years.... Kitty is now the queen bee in our household, she even has her own "Kitty Condo". We are grateful that we were able to find her and give her a loving furr-ever home!

Kitty and our Yorkshire Terrier Mickey, are now friends. We have taken Kitty into the vet and her eye is slowly getting better. We are also fortunate that Kitty gets along with other animals so well. Our family can not imagine our life without Kitty in our family, we are thankful everyday for her being placed into our lives.
