I am thankful for my little miracle. She makes the hardest days better.

I am most thankful for a person I have never met. My dad was diagnosed with advanced heart failure and was placed on the transplant list for a new heart. Sept. 27, my dad received his gift: a new heart. This hero gave my dad the ultimate gift and saved his life. Therefore, I am most thankful…

Cat photo submission

My Kraft Kat loves her photo ops!  She’s the best companion.

This is a cat that lives in the barn on the neighbor's property. He doesn't get much attention so he runs and greets me when I get home from work. I pet him before I go indoors then he returns back to the barn. I have missed his visits in the past few weeks though.

My best friend ❤️

“Mommy” just showed up at my house over 10 years ago.  I was captivated by her beautiful blue eyes and calm demeanor.

Bootsie (the cat) was a scared, starving, stray cute little kitten who was adopted five years ago by some Sisters at Incarnate Word Convent. She is still scared of people whom she does not know as “kitty-lovers.” Bootsie is pictured with Sister Mildred Truchard, one of her human friends.

To infinity & beyond 

My fur baby!!! kitty-love 💛💛

This is the only way she sleeps. ❤️. She has to be near someone’s neck or face lol. This is Nike ❤️

Spazzy is a rescue that stole my heart when he was just 7 months old. Now, he will 13 on Sept 4. His name fits him perfect.  I love him so much!
