Arrival Story: Rescued from the Humane Society.
Bio: I first met Ava at the local humane society. I was there in search of a special needs cat. I had a few in my mind and was there on my second visit to try to make a decision when a volunteer came in and set Ava (Corrine) down in the cat colony. I immediately went to meet her. Poor kitty was so tiny and looked really old, gray specks of hair on her face and all. I picked her up and she hugged me and gave me kisses right away! She wouldn't let go. I couldn't believe she was estimated to be 8 1/2 years, I thought she could be much older. She had been dropped off as a stray with a litter of kittens she couldn't nurse. She had recovered from her ordeal and was ready for a home. I had my boyfriend come RIGHT AWAY and told him to guess which one I thought I wanted. He picked her up on the first guess and she greeted him also with a hug and kiss. That was exactly two years ago this July and she has been our angel ever since. After a few months of love and good food, she turned into a magnificent shining seal point with a dark face, no more gray specks, fur as soft as mink, and the most pleasant purrsonality ever.
Update:
Ava was diagnosed with mammary cancer last Thanksgiving, 2008. We did two surgeries to remove the cancer, but unfortunately, it was one of the most aggressive forms. We decided to let her live her life as she was so she could enjoy it to the fullest extent. That she did! We had our Ava for another 8 months. Ava lost her battle August 3, 2009. She is sadly missed. Please remember the importance of spaying your females early. Ava was already 8 years old when I found her and had her spayed. She only lived to be 10.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away....

Thanks for sending me the gifts and messages. Mommy's been a bit sad lately, and was feeling low...and her Catster pals have come through again! Thanks so much...Thanksgiving is the toughest time for Mommy and her human family. It's nice to know there are others out there that will make it ok. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Just think, one week from now we'll be settling down for dinner with friends and family...I purray that no one has to be alone on that day...I know I won't be. (((hugs))) and purrs, Ava
Can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here. I remember that weekend. I remember being thankful for you and all of our family. I remember thanking God for all I have...I remember holding you along my side, like a child. You loved being held. I held you that way everyday. Yet, I never felt anything until that Thanksgiving Sunday. Bouncing you on my side while taking a break from cleaning...there it was. A knot. A lump. A...a...tumor???? Not now, not my girl. My heart stopped. I lay you down and felt you everywhere. It was not my imagination. How could it be? Less than 5 months since your Vet exam. Why you? Why now? I held you close and cried. The fear of the unknown took over. The Christmas decorations we were about to unpack stayed in the box. I sat. I don't think I even took a breath. One year ago, everything was normal.
Today is your three month anniversary at the bridge. I miss you as much today as I did the day you left. Driving home, I looked up at the moon, so full and bright. It was beautiful. I said a prayer to you and closed my eyes and kissed you. I hope you felt it, sweetheart. You're still my little girl, and you will forever be in my heart. I love you, Ava. I hope you visit me in my dreams tonight. See you in Sleepy Town.....Love, Mommy
