I was brought into the shelter at 3wks old by someone who found me.  i was fostered by Sherri.  I had a neurological problem and did nothing but walked in circles.  I later came dowm with an eye infection and that eye was later removed.  My foster mom soon found out that I was totally deaf, and at that time, I knew my hopes to be adopted was next to nill.  My foster mom decided to rescue me and I was known to everyone as her "one-eyed, totally deaf neurological kitty".  Everyone loved me.  I learned commands with vibrations and sign language.

I became friends and apart of her family and my other 5 rescued kitties and her adopted dog, abbie (who cwossed ober da rainbow bridge march 2009). I enjoyed life with them and never regretted having the second chance to show that even an animal like me can get a second chance at EVERYTHING.

I later came down with cancer and I passed away in my owner's arms.  I have now crossed over the Rainbow Bridge where I am joined by many animals who has been rescued, adopted and loved by many, and mostly, joined by all who had received second chances. I also am joined by the ones who were never given a second chance but now finds peace up here with us.

I gave life to many, but it took one to show me what life is all about.  Special Ed

For the chococat gang's mama....

In rememberance of Special Ed.

Death Is Nothing At All
by Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918), Canon of St.Paul´s Cathedral

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room, I am I and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used,
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow, Laugh as we always laughed,
At the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
It is the same that it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind,
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just around the corner, all is well.

Everytime I read about Special Ed, it always chokes me up and the tears go flowing down my face. Especially the last line. *wiping the tears away*  It takes a very loving a special person to want to take care of a kitty like Special Ed. Almost like having a special needs child. He was lucky to have you in his life and to love him. May he forever be in your heart.

Love and hugs,

Cindy, Milo and Lily

My name is skeeter.  I was "dropped off" at JHS, Jax, Fl because my owner said I was "defected".  I am a "phocomelial bilateral kitty", which means I have no front "elbows" so I walk on my arms.  I was born this way.  I was actually a gift to the previous owner.  I guess I grotesqued her and she would find it hard to love a "deformed" kitty. I was rescued at 5wks old.  I am very loveable and fluffy.  I love life and I am not limited to anything.  I can play, jump, hop, and talk.  My BFF is Special Ed, and he went to the Rainbow Bridge.  Someday. we will meet again.

I love to lay on the hardwood floor, but I have great difficulty walking on it.  So, my mommy has laid down area rugs which leads to the "cat room".  She is always looking after all her special needs kitties. 

My name is lillybelle, and i am a 3-legged siamese-snowshoe.  I came into the shelter in a humane trap, feral as all get-go.  I came in injured, not by other animals or nature, but by the humane trap...my rear leg got caught in the trap door and I was left there till the next day when the trapper came.  The injury was bad because I had panicked and started to gnarl my leg off. Would you believe I was about 3wks old and already learning the survival game???  The awesome clinic veternarian did a great job in making me well, and that included my leg had to be amputated. I was soon fostered by Sherri who later rescued me.

I have been living life well, and I think how fortunate I was to be rescued(even if that means being trapped).  I can't imagine what life would had been for me if I was still out on the street and fighting for food.  I am alitttle bit feral and I do wreck up the house from time to time, but i have company--my other rescued cats and dog that lives with me.  My two brothers has crossed the rainbow bridge (Special Ed and The Chad), my sister dog, Abbie, is on mydogspace.com.

I'm glad I am going to meet a lot of furry pals and become their BFFs.

My name is sobe and I was a very lucky kitty. It was a really hot summer day in Jacksonville, fl and I was wandering the parking lot aimlessly.  I was lethargic, scared, hungry and dirty.  I don't even know I got onto the parking lot.  My owner spotted me when she was going to lunch with her bff.  She told her bf that if I was still there when she gets off from work, she was going to take me home.  Well, she found me and I was resting underneath a car parked in the handicapped parking space.  She put me in her nifty suv and took me home,  She gave me advantage and wet and dry food and water.  I was scared for a few days and then i came out of my shell. Sherri was(and still is) my gaurdian angel.

I am now neutered and fat, but very happy and thankful.  Thankful that she kept her word, and thankfull that I believed in her.

So, she tells me I am her "velcro kitty" but I cling to her side. I don't know why because i know sherri will never leave me.  I spend my days sitting by the window waiting for her to come home, and spend the nights whereever she roams in the house. I was given a second chance, and forever grateful. :-)
