I don't know if there really is a patron saint for cats, but knowing the Catholics as I do I would not be surprised. Nonetheless my friend Danielle now gets the honor as for the last 2 weeks she has been ftaking care of 3 of the sickest cats I have ever seen, and they are not even hers. I'm talking "i.v. fluids" sick. Her family is thinking about getting a pet so she thought it would be a great idea to foster some animals first to determine which type of pet would best suit their lifestyle. The idea was to foster a cat and then a dog. She contacted a cat rescue organization and it just so happened that they had 3 cats (a mother and two grown daughters) that needed to be placed *immediately*. Three was more than she was bargaining for, but what the heck right? So they bring them over and they promptly begin wretching, snarffling and dying.
Let me repeat: she has been taking care of these animals for two weeks now. While she gets ready for the Spring semester. While her husband is out of town.
Quite simply I am amazed by this woman. Her energy puts my feeble efforts to shame. The cats are improving under her constant care, but man! What a long row to hoe......so today's post is just a giant shout-out to Danielle for her hard work and huge heart. You have earned your place in cat heaven.
