James
is a very special little guy, and his story begins back in late
September of 2008. I was about Fourteen years old, and I worked with my mom
at a rescue shelter that, of course, took in neglected and abandoned
animals and worked to find homes for them. One afternoon, one of the
volunteers brought in a little kitten who looked to be no more than about
twelve weeks old. The kitten was very sick. Fur matted, eyes dull, very
skinny and dirty. They said he was limping around the streets, looking lost
and confused. My mom and I took him and looked him over. He had a gash on
his front right paw that was bleeding on and off, causing his leg to be
weak. He wouldn't eat or drink because of the pain and his chances of
survival weren't looking good. I told my mom to give him a chance, so she
took him to the back for work on his paw. After some time, and even though
it was tough, we managed to heal up the wound. After recovery he started
walking better, eating and drinking. After that I spent a lot of time with
him. It was after a month, me and the cat (who I named James along the way)
really bonded and we became the best of friends. So I brought him home once
we made sure he was recovered, and he's been with me ever since.
Now James is about three years old (though we don't know his exact
birthday) and is the best cat companion I could ever ask for. He's quite
the goof, he rolls around on the carpet like a dog and even lets me rub his
belly, which makes me think sometimes that he might just be part dog. He
also makes silly faces that gives me a good laugh all the time! He loves
his food, he could eat non-stop all day if I let him, surprisingly he's not
a very chunky cat. His favorite way to past time would be what he's best at
... sleeping! He just loves lazing around in the sun, especially on
weekends when I'm home with him. He usually either sits in front of our
backyard screen door where the sun streams in, or on top of the couch by
the front window. Sleeping and being lazy is his specialty! Though he is an
indoor cat, I sometimes take him out front with the cat harness, but he
doesn't usually enjoy it. His best friend is Willow, my friend's cat. Him
and Willow really bonded since James was a kitten. James is Three and
Willow is Six, but they still get along great and play together.
I do everything I can with James, and he is truly my best friend! James is
proof of just how amazing rescue animals can be, and how grateful they can
be when you give them a second chance at life. James and I would like to
say, if you are ever thinking of adding a new friend to the family, please
consider a rescue - it will be one of the best choices you ever make!
Love and kitten cuddles from James! xoxo
