Rainbow

Dear Feline/Canine Friends,

I am writing to share my story with you, and how you introduced me to my dearest friend.

Last November I was looking for a lap cat. I felt I finally had a nice enough of an apartment to be a good caregiver and I was ready for the responsibility of a pet. I perused your website and thought I had my heart set on little Black Jack.

When I came into the facility with my friends, I asked if there was a good lap cat available for adoption. You mentioned Rainbow. I sat on the floor in the room she was in and called her over. She ran over to me, licked my head, and I burst into tears. It just felt right. In a few days I picked her up from Petco.

A few months later, I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. I am 24 years old.

I had surgery which required my head be shaved, and moved home with my parents. Rainbow didn’t miss a beat. I think she might be my guardian angel. She follows me everywhere. She lays on my chest or at my feet constantly. She always sleeps by my side. When I cry, she often presses her head against mine. I swear she knows that something is different about me.

She is always making me laugh with her silly antics. She adores plastic bags and coos like a pigeon. She likes to sleep with one leg over my arm, and she has tattoos in her ears. Sometimes I dress her up in costumes (but never for long!).

I’ve lost a lot in the past few months. But I know I’ll never lose this little angel.

Thank you for what you and your volunteers do. You’re caring for someone’s future best friend.

Thank you again.

Warm Regards
