A Big Kitty, In A Little Suit

By Tracey Lin Kilgore
Sept. 19, 2004

I live in a house surrounded full of unconditional innocent love of the animals. They are very special and are so remarkable and amazing!!! I watch them 24/6 and 23/1 Have to go get supplies during that one hour missing there. People really do take the lazy way out when it comes to their animals. No one seems to want to take the time to help them, those who would and do do everything possible for a person and never would turn their backs and walk away, would stay there by their side for eternity. They help every way that they can and if could they'd do more. I know that they would. I've taken in the strays and throw aways that come to me in this village I live in. I have no more room though. We have outgrown this house. I have 3 dozen at present.

There are animals with illnesses and diseases that people will not take the time nor spend the money on and like I said take the lazy way out. This is a tribute to the life of one that I had who was called back Home in January of this year. She had lukemia and I have found this remarkable new product that took and filled her out gave her muscle tone and took a scrawny 2 pound kitty and she got up to 9 pounds. We called it her pretty pretty. When she got sick, it took feeding her and giving her water every three hours with an eye dropper, for over eight weeks. And every minute of that was worth it. Here is the story of TJ. I nicknamed her Bunny because when she laid a certain way she looked just like a tiny little bunny. She was a sweet heart. They all are !!! Don't ever turn your back on Love Don't be that lazy and cheap. Love is one of life's most cherished gifts!! There is so much love out there just waiting for you to love and to love you, unconditionally. Those with special needs like TJ, that need you and you will find that you need them, just as much.

She would have been five,
with a will to survive.
A young life came to me
at the age of three months.

She was left on the streets, to fend for herself.
The older ones took her in to protect,
until she could find the courage to come in,
for me to protect and do all that I could.

A scratch on her nose, all infected outside,
hampered her breathing at times.
But she learned to live, with the hurt she
endured, from living outside.

A cold turned bad, into pneumonia.
A fever she had, just wouldn't break.
She fought and she tried with all of her might.
The strength of our love, kept her alive.

Lukemia was found in this sweet little one.
Vitamins and medicines, she took everyday.
She'd run to her bed, and wait to be fed,
and given her pretty bath, too

She mothered all that were here in the house.
She taught us all the value of life.
She'd go to all who were down,
whether it be from sadness or sickness.

She'd visit each day and stay to play,
with the new ones that had come into this home.
Her nose would get niffy and really get plugged,
when dangers were felt in the ground.

She'd touch us so lightly in the dark of the night,
to say, "Hey, Wake up. There's danger inside."
She'd sit there and stare and wait for you to wake up,
Waiting to greet you with a smile and a hug.

Four years down the line,
her fever had climbed, as high as it had before.
I went to her side and had all the faith in the world,
that she would survive and be just fine.

Her will to survive and the prayers that were said,
The candles were lit to shine brightly with prayer.
Prayers and her will, were not to be answered with yes.
The calendar of life, said it was time.

I promised her though that I'd not turn my back,
on those she left behind.
I'd do all I could and be all that I could,
to remind them of her strength and her love.

But I know in my mind, and deep in my heart,
that there's only one that can give that she did.
Her love for her life and her will to survive.
Her courage and strength, teaching us all when
to fight.

You fight for your life,
and don't fight with each other,
For life is so precious and treasured.
And Heaven is quick, with final decisions.

I have faith of her love and her will to survive.
I'd had done it a thousand times over.
For her to survive, to be by our side.
Our Little Blessing, A Lesson From Heaven.
