"I'm thankful for such a perfect..."
"I'm thankful for such a perfect sweet loving thoughtful gift my daughter brought to me to love and take care of a few years ago. Lucy was a stray that wondered to her house. Lucy was not in good health and lost her babies. I took her to the veterinarian to have an exam and spay. He treated her for a few things and I took her home nursed her back to health. Doc thought she was older than she looked...he figured she didnt get the nutrition she needed when she was a kitten. She is doing great now"

"We adopted Theo and Eva almost two years ago..."
"We adopted Theo and Eva almost two years ago, after losing our 16-year-old Salem. In a way it didn't feel right adopting so soon, but I'd just passed a milestone birthday and it was almost Christmas… I was sad and our house was just too quiet. But this isn't just about how they helped lift our spirits in a difficult time. A little over a year later, Theo seemed under the weather, so I brought him to the vet. Thankfully our vet is a feline specialist, because even though he didn't really have any telltale symptoms, she couldn't find anything else wrong with him so she did an ultrasound, which indicated FIP and further confirmed it with a blood test. I'd heard of an experimental treatment and she directed us to a group that could assist us in getting medication and advising us. We were able to start treatment the following day and six months later we got the good news that his labs showed he was cured. My husband and I and Eva are all incredibly thankful that Theo is still with us and we hope that both cats will be for a very long time!"

"I am thankful for Merlin Marshmallow Kovel..."
"I am thankful for Merlin Marshmallow Kovel (the Great) because he is my comfort, my therapy, my salvation when life is crap, when everyone else is giving me grief, when nothing feels right anymore, or when I feel like giving up. If it wasnt for this sweet but psycho little brat, idk if I'd even be who I am today. Thank u, baby kitty."

"Ernie has helped me every day..."
"Ernie has helped me every day with his unconditional love. He stayed close when I was having a hard time after my father's passing Nov 14, 2021 then again when my sister passed on June 24, 2022. It's been a very stressful year but my sweet baby will lay over my left shoulder and make biscuits when I watch TV. He sleeps by my side every night. I am so very thankful I decided to adopt him 8 years ago."

"Oreo brings us gifts. Last week it was a snake. (This is a little concerning given that he is a 100% indoor cat.)"

"I am ever so thankful..."
"I am ever so thankful to still have this precious girl after I almost lost her to a nasty infection 6 weeks ago. Adopted at 2.5 and about to turn 15 in January, she is a pint sized, full on V8 motor purring love bug who will certainly take a good sized piece of my heart with her when her time to cross the bridge comes."

"Because I don't want to use my furniture..."
"Because I don't want to use my furniture or take a bath without little poofs of hair floating by... Lol these two, but Dobby is my heart, I helped his mama deliver him, bottle fed him when she gave up trying when his brothers all died raised him to be the giant floofy king he is today. He's the one on the seat. He sleeps in my arms like a teddy bear."

"Our little Lulu..."
"Our little Lulu (left) came to us as a stray kitten, dragging her front leg. I'm thankful I had the extra funds to have her leg amputated and save her life. She has been a wonderful companion to Cher (right). She is so affectionate and comforting"

"Domino showed up at our back door..."
"Domino showed up at our back door last Thanksgiving, extremely sick. She was 4 months old and weighed less than 2 pounds and for that first couple of days she had to really fight until the antibiotics took hold. Now a year later, she's full of energy, she loves to play fetch, and she lets us know how grateful she is every day."
