Fiver-Roo, the Cat of the Day
Name: Fiver-Roo
Age: Deceased, Two and a half months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Orlando, Florida, USA
 
   Fiver-Roo was a special kitten. She was a striped mixed breed who was born north of Orlando, Florida. We got her when she was a week old. Her eyes were still closed. The people who found her told us that she was very sick and had not moved since they found her the night before. They wanted to put her to sleep. My husband and I thought it was too drastic a decision to make without a vet's assessment. We immediately took her to the vet. Many visits later it was determined that she had been severely abused, had a paralyzed colon and was retarded from brain damage. If that wasn't enough she was a dwarf and would not grow. The vet told us it was a matter of time. So, we gave her the best time possible. I stayed with her 24 hours a day and nursed her every need. She lived from October 30, 2000 until January 12, 2001 when we had to put her to sleep and prevent her from suffering. Her life was filled with playing, petting and lots of sleeping on my chest and neck. We loved her immensely and it was hard to let her go. It is my hope that people give love to those pets who only have a short time on earth. They deserve to know love and kindness before their time is up. Fiver-Roo gave back as much love as we gave her. We feel grateful to have known such a happy and loving kitten.
