Emme, the Cat of the Day
Name: Emme
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
 
   This is Emme, she is six years old and is from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I adopted her about five years ago from our local Humane shelter. When I went in to the shelter, there she was, I walked right over to her and pulled her out of her cage, as I was holding her a worker came over to me and said that this cat only had three hours to live. I thought something was wrong with the cat, so I asked why she only had three hours. The worker replied that the cat had been there for to many hours and they needed the space - in other words they were getting ready to end her life. At that time I was a single mother in college and working a full time job, plus I only had $60.00 dollars to last me til the end of the week. The adoption fee was $56.00. I just couldn't let this cat's life end,so I adopted her. Let me say that I thank God often for that adoption!

    Emme has been one of my best friends now for six years. My daughter loves her too! One of the best things about Emme is that any time my daughter gets sick, Emme will stay right by her side and when I have had a hard day or am feeling a little blue, this wonderful cat will come and sit with me. She also has a nighttime habit that I adore about her. Every night she will sleep with my daughter until she falls asleep, then she will come in my room and finish out the night sleeping right on my shoulder,touching my face with her paw and no matter which way I roll over, Emme will roll over too! She has given us so much love and comfort. I hope that anyone who reads this will understand that there are wonderful pets at all Humane shelters, please adopt and save a friends life!
