Arrival Story: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Kaci Sunshine's third home. A friend of mine adopted Kaci and her sister Mittens when they were a little over 1 year old and they lived with her for 8 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was grief stricken when my sweet Abby went to Rainbow Bridge and had no plans to get another cat. There's a saying, *the former cat sends the new cat* -- my angel Abby definitely had other plans for me! One month after Abby went to the Bridge, I learned that a friend was dying from cancer and desperately seeking a home for her two cats. It was only a few days after I learned of their plight that I made up my mind to adopt them. Kaci and her sister Mittens came home with me on January 29, 2006. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bio: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci is my little sunshine girl. She's a sweet, affectionate snuggle-bug who is blessed with a sunny and happy disposition. She adores attention and everyone making a fuss over her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci is very outgoing and friendly and likes people. She's very curious about anything and everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci loves to play with her toys. She loves her boogie mat, red catnip apple, catnip candy cane and she especially loves her little furry mice . She carries the furry mice in her mouth and makes mournful-sounding meows and cries when playing with her furry mice. I wish I knew what it meant!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Records provided by Kaci Sunshine's original veterinarian list her birthday as May 1, 1996.

My sweetheart:
My beloved guardian angel Wally
A very sweet kitty and
one of my best furriends!
My nephew:
My niece Maci (she's named after me and my sister Mittens):
The past several weeks have been very, very rough for my family. Mommy and I thank you for your pawmails, condolences, love and support during a very difficult time. You know I’ve been doing my best to take care of mommy and have showered her with lots of affection and lots of snuggle-cuddle time. In fact, mommy said there were times she thought I was permanently attached to her!
My sister Mittens and I now have basic, undecorated pages. Mommy is still uncertain what exactly it was that killed her computer and wants to be very careful about where she goes on the ‘net and what we download onto our computer. That makes us unhappy because we LOVE making our own backgrounds and decorating our pages. There are a few websites with pre-made backgrounds that we think are ok and mommy said for Christmas she might use a link from one of those websites so we can have simple, pre-made backgrounds.
I’ve been tagged for two tag games. My friend Tigger tagged me for the ice cream flavor game and my friend Riley tagged me for the Thanksgiving tag.
ICE CREAM TAG:
Which ice cream flavor would I be if I was an ice cream flavor? I need to list the flavor I’d be and then tag 5 friends. Thank you Tigger for tagging me!
Butterscotch rum
:))
THANKSGIVING TAG:
I list five things I'm thankful for and list five friends. Thanks you Riley for tagging me!
1. I’m thankful for my mommy, who adopted me and Mittens when we were 10 years old and considered too old to be adoptable.
2. I’m thankful for my mommy and grandma for giving me such a loving home and so much love and care and to my late grandpa for being such a kind and gentle man and letting us live here.
3. I'm thankful that I'm in relatively good health and for all the great care mommy and my veterinarian give me.
4. I’m thankful for all the warm and snuggly places where I can sleep everyday.
5. I’m thankful for all the good food I eat every day!
It's my first day back after being absent for a few weeks and I won't be tagging anyone specific this time. If you're reading this and want to play the tag game, consider yourself tagged by me!
Sad, sad news . . .
Everyone’s beloved friend and pal Calvin made his journey to the Bridge today.
Our eyes are leaking. :((
His friends’ hearts are broken.
Calvin revealed a secret he learned when he arrived at the Bridge.
Each new arrival at the Bridge is given a Heart Basket filled with pieces of the hearts of everyone who loved them.
Calvin’s Heart Basket must be enormous to hold all those pieces of hearts!
What a horrible tragedy! Sterling Mithril’s mommy volunteered with the Pima Animal Care Center in Tucson, AZ. She fostered 5 three week old grey kittens. She bottled fed them, nursed them, trained them, raised them and loved them. She contacted the shelter director and told him how well the kittens were doing and he invited her to bring the kittens into the shelter now that they were old enough to be adopted. She took them in yesterday. When she went back to the shelter today, she found out that the shelter director had all 5 of them killed yesterday!
Please read Sterling Mithril’s two diary entries for today to find out the lame excuse the cruel, cold-hearted human who runs the shelter gave for killing those beautiful kittens and the address and contact information for the shelter if you’d like to express your outrage. Sterling Mithril’s brother Jasper wrote in his diary that the shelter director asked his mom not to volunteer at the shelter anymore. Read what that cruel man said to their mom as she walked out of the shelter today.
What kind of animal care center is the Pima Animal Care Center? Certainly not a humane one! What kind of cruel, hard-hearted people run it? I am outraged and heartsick about what they did to those kittens. That place would be the last place I’d ever leave an animal and I’d certainly never adopt from them or donate a single penny to them! I just don’t understand how anyone could do that and be so unaffected by it. I don’t understand why such mean and cruel-hearted humans are allowed to run an animal shelter.
