Cleo's Rescuer says:
I wanted to give some insight into why I chose to offer a home
for Cleo.
I've been an animal lover for a long time; taking in strays as
well as adopting from rescues for nearly 15 years. Each and every
cat that I've added to my family has and does hold a special place
in my heart.
No matter the challenge, I've made it work.
I took in a feral mother with kittens whom I found in my
barn.
I brought her in and let her raise her kittens in comfort and
safety.
They all remain a part of our family.
Another wonderful boy I adopted with his brother was found
with their feral mother on the streets.
I adopted the two kittens only to find one of them was
allergic to his own teeth.
We made the tough choice to have his teeth pulled in hope of
relieving his pain; a 75% chance. Unfortunately it did not work.
Now, Wendell, gets monthly shots to keep him healthy and
happy.
He is doing quite well and enjoys a good life.
I have so many stories of all the cats I've tried to help but
in the end I've found that they also have helped me. My vet and I
are like family at this point.
It was recently that my friend put out a desperate call for
help from Kabul.
A beautiful cat that came to be known as, Cleo, had endeared
herself to my friend and her fellows on a local military base.
Conditions went sour and Cleo was no longer able to stay
there.
My friend put out a call for help and I realized that I had
the means to help as well as the desire to save a soul that would
otherwise have little chance.
I offer a home with a number of loving cats that can help me
offer companionship and love.
If that doesn't work for Cleo, she will have her own room
filled with toys, a cat tree and a soon to be outside enclosure
filled with stimulation and safety. Whatever she needs, I will do
my best to provide.
The opportunity to help Cleo as well as my military friend was
one that I could not pass up as she deserves a chance at something
more; a safe home with friends, family, love and joy.
