This is my Jack. She has been my constant companion for
the last 16 years. She is my best friend, my confidant, my nurse and my rock. I
just wanted to thank you all for taking a chance with adopting a cat to twenty
something year old girl with no experience of her own.
My only real experience with pet care was what I was
taught at home. Luckily, my mother laid a clear path of what responsible pet
care truly meant. So when I walked in your doors to find my new friend all I
could say was "I live on my own now and my life is just empty without a
cat to love.".
I didn't want a kitten, I wanted an older cat. When I was
shown to the room with the older cats I started having doubts about which cat
to choose. Silly human, I know that now.
Jack (or Jax as she was named then) saw me coming. When I
got to her cage, she got up and stretched as if to say, "well it took you
long enough, let's go home.". I opened the cage and she crawled onto my
shoulder as if she belonged there. I felt the click instantaneously!!
I immediately filled out the paperwork and got the
necessary signatures. I was back to take her home within a few days. We have
been together ever since that day!
Over the years, our little duo has grown into a much
larger family. Jack and I now have my husband and our 2 children, 2 dogs and
most recently a new cat. We have moved from a tiny little apartment on Long
Island to an acre of property on the coast of North Carolina.
We will be together 16 years this coming March and I
believe there will be many more happy years to come. Thank you for allowing me
to adopt her all those years ago. The joy and happiness I have experienced with
my beloved Jack is immeasurable.
Kindly,
M
