This is a great poem and we are so happy that all of us are assured of all of its contents.
We hope for every kitty a safe and loving home. All of us are rescues and we dedicate this especially
to our sweet Gray Lady who returned home to us after disappearing for six months after our move
to our new home. Miracles do still happen! See Gray Lady below.

HERE IN THIS HOUSE...
I will never know the loneliness that I hear in the cries of the other animals 'out there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I will eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat,
but rather, I will nap in the sun's warmth, and play in the rain's coolness,
and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.

HERE IN THIS HOUSE...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand,
I can enjoy the warmth of the words spoken to me in kindness.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in love and joy, and I will relish the sound of it!

HERE IN THIS HOUSE...
I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
I will be praised for my successes, instead of punished too harshly for my mistakes.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.

HERE IN THIS HOUSE...
I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...
knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.
If I am injured or ill, I will be doctored.
If I am scared, I will be calmed.
If I am sad, I will be cheered.

HERE IN THIS HOUSE...
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and known to be of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not cute enough.
I will not be left behind because my humans moved - I will move with them.
If a new human baby joins my family, it will not 'replace' me,
but instead will be one more human for me to love, and to love me.
I will not be treated as disposable.
My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as
other animals.

HERE IN THIS HOUSE...
I was RESCUED, because I was WANTED!
I will BELONG!
I will be home - FOREVER!
AND I WILL BE LOVED!

 

I just found out that my sweet Zena has bladder stones. At a recent visit to her vet she actually
passed two small ones. Surgery is an option but the price is very high and not one we can afford so
we will be relying on a change to a special prescription diet for her to help. It won't help the stones
that are already there but hopefully will create a better urinary environment so that others don't
form and help to increase her urine output. At this point, it is not life-treatening and her vet says
she should be able to live a normal life. The bad thing would be if the existing stones would grow or
one too big tries to pass---then that would mean trouble. Purrlease keep Zena in your purrs and
prayers -- this will be ongoing for the rest of her life. (8/5/07)

Update on Zena (12/16/07)--Zena is doing well on her prescription food and her urine output has been good. She is active and happy and you would never know she has this condition. Hope it stays that way for a long time to come!

Update on Zena (1/26/08) Zena has been losing weight as she is not eating as much of her prescription food as she should so the vet has changed her food to a Science Diet recipe. She has been on that for about a week now (it will accomplish the same thing as the other food) She is eating about the same amount it seems but it has more calories so hoping she will maintain her weight better. She will be checked again in a few weeks.

It is with furry heavy hearts and sad purrs that we tell mew that Scrap's dear wed-wink and our furry gud furriend Levi made his way to the Rainbow Bridge. We love mew our furriend and will miss mew always. Your spirt and memory will live on in our hearts and all of those who loved mew. We send our most heartfelt sympathies to Levi's sisfur Maggie, Mommy Flo, Daddy Bobby and Granmommy Pat as Levi's loss has left an empty link in their family. God speed our friend!

Kitty Prayer

God bless my little kitty, Lord, I love his silky fur.
I love the way he cuddles up, and love the way he purrs.

He's always near when I am sad, or when I'm feeling fine.
He shows me in a million ways that he is glad he's mine.

The little things I do to show him all my love,
Return to me a thousand fold - in purrs and tummy rubs.

So never let me fail the trust that you have placed in me,
Of caring for this ball of fur, as it was meant to be.
