Arrival Story:
I visited petsmart soon after it opened here and decided to visit the section where the store housed cats from the local humane society. The calmest most serene, and the oldest looking cat caught my eye. I wasn’t sure about bringing a cat home as my parents growing up only had bad things to say about cats, especially Siamese cats. However, I think the woman taking care of the cats knew we were meant to be together so she got him out of his cage and handed him to me. I looked down at a rugged looking cat who stank, and I melted. he had road rash from being hit by a car, horrible skin and coat, only 2 teeth, and a jaw that couldn’t fully shut (he had been abandoned after his broken jaw was wired so it never healed properly, they had to surgically remove the wire because his skin had started to grow over it). I couldn’t imagine taking such a ragged animal home, especially since I knew nothing about taking care of an obviously ancient cat. However, when he looked up at me with his brilliant blue eyes which held such wisdom and strength I knew I was lost. He was mine.

Bio:
Truffles turned out to be a very old cat, but with a lot of love and a little care he became my best friend. Never before would I have believed that a cat could understand so much, there was more depth to Truffles than I have found in people. I have always loved dogs, but had heard so much negativity about cats growing up that I was shocked by the amount of pure wisdom, loyalty, and love that was apparent in Truffles. He gave such love and compassion to my children and myself that I realized everything I had been told about cats was very wrong. Although Truffles only lived with us for 4 years he has changed my life forever. He lived to the rich old age of 21 but never lost his dignity, even through dialysis, and died on my lap like the king he was.
