This
is my kitten Zorro! Although he is doing wonderfully now, his life
started out rough. I found him on the side of the road one day last
June. I remember running to the spot where he sat and looking down upon
him. He was covered in burs, bits of leaves and his eyes were crusted
shut. He was so tiny! I picked him up and took him back to the car. I
knew I had to help him! It was out in the country in the middle of
nowhere, he wasn't safe by himself! So, I took him home and to the vet.
His diagnosis was as follows: he had internal and external fleas, an eye
infection, and two types of respiratory problems. Worst of all, the vet
wasn't sure if he would make it. He was put on three types of medicine and
he hated it! His least favorite part was the ointment that had to be put
in his eyes! I always felt so awful when it had to be given to him!
Soon, he recovered and gained weight and strength. This was very good
news to all of us! This picture was taken soon after he started to
recover from his illnesses.
He immediately made friends with our family dog, Ruby! Now, he and Ruby
are best friends. Zorro follows her around everywhere and cries when
she leaves for her walk everyday! He waits and watches out the window
until she returns home! He is so faithful to her!
When Zorro first arrived, our other cat, Emo, was still with us. Zorro
loved to chase him and would try to play. Since Emo was elderly, he
didn't enjoy it but was very tolerant with him.
I love Zorro so much! We have such a special bond. He shows his love in
different ways than other cats do. He doesn't like to be picked up and
held but will come and purr on your legs or fall asleep on your feet! I
can not imagine life without Zorro! He is such good company and shows so
much affection! If I have had a bad day he is always there to cheer me
up! I am so very fortunate to have found such a wonderful kitten like
Zorro. He is so beautiful and is a gift from God!
