There is someone that you should all meet, someone who came
into my life at one of the hardest times and somehow reminded me how it is all
about this little things. Her name is Ella and she is my five month old kitten
and I am totally a crazy kitten mom.
I adopted Ella through Camp Companion a shelter in
Rochester, MN. Her mother was a feral
cat who died after giving birth to Ella and her sister. Tragically I could not
adopt both kittens but her sister Candy has been adopted. Ella and I have been
stuck together for over a month and I have yet to kill either one of us so I
think that is a fair accomplishment.
I never saw myself as being the college girl who owned a
kitten, I knew I would want a cat eventually but I never thought it would be so
soon. But when I walked in I just knew the she was the kitten that was meant
for me. Do I think that at 22 I was ready to have a kitten? Probably not. But I
would not trade this for anything. When I feel frustrated and wonder if I made
the right choice and if I am a good kitty mom I have these little moments with
her that show me that it will be okay.
Like when I was gone overnight and the second I walked
through the door she ran to me, or the fact she follows me around the apartment
no matter what. The amazing moment when you wake up to a kitten curled up by
your face, or the way she purrs louder just for me. So maybe I am not the
perfect kitty mom but I think we are perfect for each other.
Sorry for the post about my kitten but she is the one
constant in my life right now. I wouldn’t trade getting to rescue her for
anything. My little Ella Bella and I are partners in crime.
With love,
Zoey and Ella
