In my neighborhood I have been tagged the *Cat Lady*. Everyone knows that I provide a foster home for our local animal rescue group, WARF. I get several calls a month regarding abandonded kittens from the kids in the neighborhood, to calls from a local pet store needing someone to help rescue abandoned kittens.

One day in June of 2007 one such call came from my neighbor's daughter's children who had found 4 very tiny kittens wandering in their yard. Of course I went immediately to get them. I brought them all home and gave them a thorough check
over for everything from eye infections to ringworm to open wounds. I discovered this one kitten wasn't walking very good and he had trouble jumping onto and off of things that were more than a few inches high. I made an appointment to see a Vet and after an exam it was determined
that he had likely been born to a mother cat that had Distemper and it had affected him.....He is physicially impaired and his vision is like that of a crosseyed cat. However, he is one of the sweetest and happiest kitties I have ever encountered..

One day a friend of mine saw him and asked if he could attend a Church group of children mainly for them to see and learn what it was like to have a disability. Without a doubt all were in favor of keeping and loving such a loving and beautiful creature, with all his imperfections....

This is one of the finest kitties I have ever seen, so much so that I adopted him myself. I truly love him and do not even see his imperfections. He is a Super Special Cat.
