taraljc:mostlycatsmostly:This is Persephone. In Connecticut there was an event held by the news. It was called “NBC Connecticut clear the shelters”. The day it happened the shelter decided that they wouldn’t close down until every pet had a home. I got there pretty late, but I was looking for a cat because my doctor had ordered me a prescription for a cat for my depression. The place is packed. Waiting time was horrible. I started browsing the cats, and there was this one that people passed and there were audible “ew"s and “that’s gross” even from adults. I figured out which one they were looking at. She was nearly hairless on the sides, but the was pawing the glass like all hell. I looked at her and all I could think was ‘you look like you’ve been through some shit, too.’ I wanted her. She wasn’t perfect and people were turning their noses to her and I know what it’s like to be in that position all too well. When we got her home, she didn’t hide. She wandered my room, hopped on everything, and when I laid down she laid on top of me and her purring was louder than thunder. Since then we’ve been pretty much inseparable. She had been found on the street by a family and given to the shelter after a week. Her hair had been matted to the point where they couldn’t brush through it, so they had to shave it off. We went through training to become pet partners (pet therapy) and she went to school with me a lot. She was nicknamed “empress” and “her majesty” because she looks at people like they don’t deserve her glory. They let me test with her on my lap. During finals we sat in the hall so people passing from one final to the next could relieve stress with cuddles. I also took her to daycare and the kids loved her.She’s leash trained and makes me walk her in the middle of the night even though she uses a litter boxShe rescued me just as much as I did her.(submitted by @calmhighblood)If I weren’t allergic to the point of endangering my health, I would so get a therapy kitteh they are amazeballs. -- source link
