Arrival Story:
I found Althea as a 5-week-old kitten on a remote mountain road; she'd obviously been "dumped" there & left to die. One eyeball was ruptured; the other eye was stuck shut with infection. The infection cleared with medication. I was so afraid the vet would want to remove her injured eye, but - bless him! - he said to give it a chance to heal. It has healed, although she is blind in it. (It's her left eye.) Being blind in one eye has not slowed her down at all! Her name was "whispered" into my heart; I had no context for it. I was mourning the one-year anniversary of the passing of my Merlin, and learned that "Althea" is from a Greek word meaning "healer," and is also another name for the shrub known as "rose of Sharon." Since Sharon is my name, it was very clear that Althea had been sent to me, my "healing rose" forever.

Bio:
Although she doens't like to be held, Althea does like to ride on my shoulder, and causes quite a stir in the vet's waiting room when she rides in!

Teddy tagged me to tell 7 things about me, so here goes:

1) I was thrown out & left to die, but I found MaMEE; we saved each other.

2) My left eyeball was ruptured, so I'm blind in that eye
3) I am a prinCESS
4) I don't like to be held, and I am not carried around like a purse; I ride on MaMEE's shoulder (wearing, of course, my delicate pink safety harness and leash)
5) I'm forced to live with a juvenile delinquent named Blue because someone left him here and no one but MaMEE would give him a home.
6) I am petite, and MaMEE says I am precious, too.
7) I have a personal physician and a private nurse.
