So glad (new kitty now 1 yr. old) [View all]



I am so glad I did not listen to those vets! Was told my new kitty had herpes of the eyes, was chronically ill and that she'd need monthly vet visits for the rest of her life and that I should simply return her to the KILL shelter & be done w/her!

Here she is at one year old now!



She is happy and healthy now and Dr. CountAllVotes fixed her up with daily doses of echinacea , golden seal and l-lysine powder and lots of good food and love!

Of all of the cats/dogs I've adopted over the years, I've never seen one so very grateful to secure a loving home! She ran around the house spinning in circles of joy for the first 3 mos. I had her despite her horrific health condition.

Don't ever give up and please adopt from your local shelter to save a life! There is nothing more satisfying than to witness the results en-route to a happy, healthy secure life!

Happy Birthday Miss Missy(laneous!)!
