HELLO FERAL FELINE FRIENDS, REMEMBER ME? Im Cinder, one of the cats rescued from the dump this past winter. Its been months now since my life changed for the better in a drastic way. You see I lived at the dump for many years, struggling to survive the cold and hunger all while having litter after litter of kittens. I feel like Im now living in a dream and I never want to wake up. Im a middle aged kitty who fought the odds and won! You see even after I was rescued from the dump I had some hurdles to overcome. I was so thin from not finding enough to eat that the rescue folks at first thought I was just a 4 month old kitten. I was so very sick I had to go straight to the vet for tests, blood work and medication to help me feel better. I soon started to feel better and gain weight so I was scheduled for my spay, no more babies for me. When I was opened up for surgery it was discovered I had pyometra and was unlikely to survive the infection. Anne Marie refused to give up without giving me a chance so the surgery continued and I was given some strong meds to help me fight off infection. And I MADE IT. It was considered a miracle but I made a full recovery. I know, I know, you are all reading and wondering whats this all about. Why is Cinder rambling on and on. Well, after Ive been through so much and Im finally happy and healthy I do have some issues that make me less adoptable than some other kitties. You see, I am starving for attention CONSTANTLY, and sometimes I react aggressively after I have enough. I bit my foster Dad once, but that was because he was giving me eye meds. Luckily he was already on antibiotics from another cat bite, hehe, so he didnt need to go to the hospital. I havent bitten since then but I will lash out on times with my claws. I cant seem to figure out how to let go the fight to survive. Dont get me wrong, Im purr-fectly tame, I was not born at the dump but ended up there for reasons beyond my control. I purr constantly and my eyes light up every time I see my foster parents. I LOVE people, I just need to learn that I dont have to fight for anything anymore. I also DO NOT like other cats, not even the ones who lived at the dump with me. I dont like to be reminded of that time at all so I do act aggressively to all cats. I seem to prefer dogs, but again I dont want them in my face but a nice calm dog I can tolerate. Did I mention my good points yet? I love to play? I do, I REALLY do love to play with everything and anything.....so much so that my foster Mom says I need medication to make me calm down. What she doesnt understand is Im making up for lost time. Time I spent struggling to stay alive, struggling for food and warmth. Im a happy girl who is content to just have my toys, my food and a comfy bed....things I didnt always have but now very much appreciate! Im writing this long letter with the help of my foster Mom, who is telling me to clue it up so here goes. Im asking for one last chance! Im asking for someone to accept me as I am. Although I may not be perfect in all ways, I still deserve to have a home and a family to love me. I can promise you that if you give me a chance I will become your best friend. I think I could settle down in a forever home where I dont have to be around other cats and I get to have my own space. My foster family strongly believe that if someone would just give me that chance I would make them proud! Is there anyone out there that would consider offering a kitty like me a home? A home without kids or cats? A home where I can just be me.....Cinder the miracle kitty :)
