I Love Lucy

[DebsC]

A while back I lost my sweet Jasmine. I still miss her on a daily basis and I think I always will.

Just a week after losing her, my husband called me from one of his jobs and told me he'd found a kitten in a drain pipe, would I come and get her. (he says he's not a cat person!)

It was too soon, I didn't think I could love another baby after hurting so badly with Jasmine. But I drove over an hour to rescue this little one and how pitiful she was!

She was banged up, near starvation and had a hind leg dragging behind her, couldn't control her bowels or bladder and really didn't seem aware of much of anything.

I immediately took her to the vet. I don't think he held out much hope for her survival and said if she did live, her leg would most likely have to be taken off and he could make no predicitions on her other problems but feared she had brain damage probably from being thrown out of a car.

At 5 weeks of age, someone had thrown her away!!

I didn't post here to introduce her, I didn't think I could stand to and then lose her. But tonight, I proudly present Miss Lucy Anne!!

She has overcome so many obstacles and is now a playful, sweet and extremely loving kitten. AND she walks on four legs!!! She still has a bit of a limp but nothing that impedes her play time.

She is also totally potty trained and has no lingering affects of her ordeal. She's such a blessing and an inspiration. I guess I had more room in my broken heart and lots more love to give, thanks to Lucy Anne.
