Phoenix,
formerly known as Seanna
Four
months ago, I received a phone call from my mother, asking if I was at
home. A few minutes later, she showed up at my door with a
crate. I thought it was one of my cats from home but it turned
out it was a beautiful snowshoe siamese.
I am a
vet tech student in Kingston. I am away from my family, going
through some difficult times, and do not have someone to comfort me
here. It is hard but having this little cat in my life has made
a huge difference.
I have
had
Phoenix
for a short period of time but she is very happy with her new life.
She is very smart and adapts to everything so well. She knows
how to fetch, sit, high 5, give kisses, and tell a secret. We
are working on her walking on a leash, and she loves it!
She
also travels so well, I take her everywhere with me. I couldn't
imagine my life without her! Phoenix makes me laugh and smile
and she always knows how to make me feel better. She always has
something to say and is always up for a cuddle and a play.
Recently I was in an accident and Phoenix took off into the woods; I
haven't been so upset in a really long time. When I was in the
hospital and freaking out about not having my baby girl, then I got a
phone call. It was my cousin; she told me that she had found
her. My cousin, aunt and uncle were driving down the road where
I had crashed, and saw this little cat sitting on the side of the road
and picked her up. She was safe and perfectly fine.
I have
never been so relieved in my life; when I got home I called her and
she came running. I have never been so happy. I thought
when she took off I would never see her again; it was a miracle that
she was found.
Phoenix is still doing well and still loves taking car rides and is
happy, healthy, and the best companion I could ask for. We both
think you are doing a great job and keep up the good work!
Take
care.
Jessica and
Phoenix
Update March '13
Phoenix (formerly known as Seanna) has been with me for over a year,
and I love every moment I have with her. She has moved around a
lot and she adapts so well.
When I moved into the house with my roommates, I was worried there
would be an issue with her and the golden in the house and they are
now best friends. She loves everyone, I can take her anywhere.
I take her into the pet stores and she walks around like she owns the
place. She loves car rides and going places. She loves my
fish tank, it is her favourite thing to do when she wants to relax.
She has really come out of her shell and loves attention. She is
super affectionate and is quite the chatterbox. I couldn't
imagine my life without her, she means the world to me.
Keep up the good work and we thank you for saving her and giving her a
second chance.
Take care,
Jessica and Phoenix
Update September '20
"Seanna" had her name changed to "Phoenix", but she is doing great.
She
is my pride and joy and I can take her anywhere. She has a brother
now, of the canine variety and he adores her. She puts up with him, he
is so protective of her and shares everything with her.
She
has some arthritis now, but her pain and mobility are being managed,
as well as her asthma. She is comfortable and gets regular checkups
and bloodwork for her medications. You honestly would not be able to
tell she is a senior cat. She is just as active as she was when she
was adopted 9 years ago.
She
is doing fantastic and has recently been camping and absolutely loves
it. She gets her own tent with her litter and goes out on a leash and
harness to explore, all under supervision.
