indoors Arrival Story: I found Casey at a pound when I was living on my own. I have since had one marriage that lasted 13 years and married again for 6 years. Casey was my very first pet that I called my own. I went to the shelter knowing that I had to have a beloved companion. I had come to a cage of a full litter of kittens. All of the kittens were meowing and coming to the front of the cage as to say "pick me, pick me!" The decision was very difficult. I have always been particulary fond of the colors black and white. When all the other kittens were begging for attention at the front of the cage, the only black and white kitten of the litter was sitting in the far corner quite as a mouse. I looked over to him and said "hey you over there, are you not sociable?" He then looked to me as if to say "hey guys she is talking to me!" he proudly strolled over to the front of the cage pushing all the other kittens aside to lick and purr at my fingers that could barely make it into the cage where he was. I knew within an instant that this kitten who responded to me was the one who was meant to be with me. I walked away as to pretend that I was not interested and all the other kittens soon lost interest in me and started playing amongst themselves. Casey started to cry and whine and howl as I have heard no other sound from a cat before. He reached out his tiny little kitten paws from the bars of the cage as if he wanted to grab me and keep me there. I knew that this was my Casey. I took him home that day and we were best friends for 19 years. I had to make the decision to put him down when I knew that look in his eyes were telling me that he could no longer go on. He could hardly walk and eating his food had become a problem . My best friend, my companion, the one who allowed for me to cry in his silken fur and also shared in rejoicing in the most happiest times of my life. Casey was with out a doubt the only friend that I have had that was more human like to me than anything. He had seen me throught the best and through the worst of times and was always there. + He has gone to Rainbow bridge and he waits for his brothers and sisters with open arms and a loving heart. His body is buried behind my house with a marker bearing his name and I tend to his flowers by graveside spring and summer. His soul remains forever locked and embraced with grace and goodness within my heart, and I know deeply and truly that there will never be an animal so deserving of recognition and memory of my very best friend for life..............Casey. I will love you forever.
