Dear Shell,
You are sweetness, personified. When you greet me in the morning and I look into your delightful face, I wonder what you are thinking? Are you thinking: “Ok Mom you are here,now bring on food?” Or maybe, “Could you scratch a little more to the left of my chin please?”
I hope you know sweet kitty that each day with you brings me pleasure beyond measue. To see you eat without being assisted, drink eagerly from your bowl and now scamper up the pet stairs to sit on the bed, just makes me marvel at your progress.
Do you have any idea how many people you have impacted? I get emails now from others who also have at-risk cats and kittens. They thank YOU Shell, for giving them the courage to go on and fight in their corner for their cat, despite the odds.
Dr. Steve gave you two weeks to turn this around. I can’t wait to see his face next time he sees you. You actually are starting to have a shape now instead of being a walking skeleton. Your backbone is still pronounced and you hate your tail and rear being touched- but you love those head-rubs as much as I love giving them to you.
I can’t get enough of you and wish I could just spend all day with you petting you, loving you, making up for lost time, for all you missed early in your life. You get cuter every day. Just keep on going, you still have rough roads ahead, but for right now, it is smooth sailing.
Beautiful.
Love,
Mom ML
we are still purraying that shell keeps gaining strength and getting better. not only is she finally getting good food and shelter but she is finally getting real love. that is what is making the biggest difference. it is giving her a reason to live rather than just existing. please tell shell she is loved by so many out in the big blogosphere.
Just came to see how you are today dearest friends….this is such a tonic of a post for me today too!! I am making something very special for the auction we will have for precious Miss Shell…
all our love, the cozy cottage
